As a licensed therapist in Illinois with three decades of professional experience, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex life transitions, mental health challenges, and personal growth. My practice centers on addressing depression, anxiety, stress management, and addiction recovery, with a deep commitment to serving the LGBTQ+ community.

My approach is tailored to meet the unique needs of each client, with particular expertise in men's issues, process addictions, and alternative relationship dynamics.

My goal is to help individuals discover their inner strengths and transition life's most challenging moments with resilience and hope.
