Your awareness of personal pain may be the beginning of your determination to make needed changes in your life. If you long for an improved sense of your self and better relationships, seeking help is the first step. Each person deserves the helpful guidance of another person and I consider it a privilege to be a part of that journey. My background, experience, education, and multicultural focus has prepared me to serve a wide variety of people and to appreciate your unique qualities. Discovering your ability to understand yourself at a deeper level opens up the freedom to make positive choices in your life. As a Psychoanalyst, I am able to offer Psychoanalysis and Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy from a background of education at the highest level in our mental health field, effective evidence based approaches for problems that fail to respond to other therapies or medication alone, leading to deep and long lasting changes. Together, we can decide on the treatment that is most helpful for you. In addition to clinical practice, I am an active member of the American Psychoanalytic Association, and a faculty member at the Chicago Psychoanalytic Institute, organizations that are devoted to preparing and supporting future practitioners as well as mental health concerns of society.
