I have been a psychologist for over 30 years with a breadth of experience in a variety of clinical settings. I received extensive training in psychodynamic therapy, including studies at the Chicago Psychoanalytic Institute. This depth approach is especially helpful for individuals who have a pattern of difficulties in relationships or have personality issues that hold them back in their personal and professional lives. Individuals with long standing self-esteem issues often find a depth approach especially helpful as do individuals with anxiety and depression who have not been helped by other therapy approaches.I have a special interest in trauma treatment and am certified in the treatment of complex PTSD. I helped develop a trauma treatment program used throughout the Federal Prison System, and for many years, I was coordinator of a trauma treatment program for women. I have helped hundreds of people who were abused as children go on to live meaningful lives.I was a forensic consultant to the Criminal Courts, Chicago and director of the diagnostic unit, Federal Medical Center. My expertise in diagnostic assessment allows me a unique perspective from which to evaluate the extent and nature of psychological problems. My priority is to create a partnership in which we help you reclaim your zest for life.
