I have been counseling for over 25 years helping couples helping couples move past hurt, betrayal and broken trust and to develop strong and resilient marriages that are able to absorb the traumas and setbacks of life. I dedicate a portion of my practice to working with couples whose lives have been impacted by cancer (esp. Prostate Cancer) and major illness. I also coach men who find themselves in transition due to changes in work, family, and health.

I am a licensed clinical social worker LCSW since 2007(licensed in Chicago in 2003), and a registered art therapist, ATR since 2008. My theoretical orientation for therapy is informed by bio-psycho-social, family systems, humanistic, relational, and developmental models. I have past training in cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavioral therapy.
I have an interest in mindfulness, Buddhism, nia, yoga, and martial arts.
