I am a doctorally licensed clinical psychologist in the greater Chicagoland area with 19 years of professional experience in working with children, adults, couples and families. I have worked in many settings providing direct help with distress in many forms, as well as working through relationship and life issues such as those that arise in youth, intimacy, and family life. I am also available as a performance coach and consultant across multiple domains including personal, team, educational, and executive.
I have been continuously integrating new life experiences and knowledge through time in addition to training and practice so that I can influence clearly evident change for people who need or want it. I understand that this is a time where skepticism and disdain for so-called expertise is understandable and too often required. I will not likely tell you our work is easy but I am very confident in finding a way to improve any given situation together.

Neel is incredible, by far the best therapist I have ever talked to and has really unlocked therapy for me after trying different therapists for a couple years
Written on Jun 22, 2026 after therapy with Neel for 5 months on issues concerning stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, parenting issues, self esteem, and anger management
We share commonalities spiritually so Neel can encourage me in a "language" that hits home. He's been very helpful so far.

I was pretty skeptical at first, but it ended up being genuinely helpful. Easy to talk to, straightforward, and good at helping me work through things without making it feel forced or scripted. I’ve gotten a lot more clarity from the sessions than I expected.
