Background:
I have a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from Northwestern University,
and have provided services in the Chicago area for 15 years. I work
with adults, adolescents, and children, individuals and couples. Sometimes
individuals have difficulties with stress, sometimes performing below
their ability level, sometimes developing stress-exacerbated medical
illness. Sometimes atypical learning or communication styles are present;
these can cause problems if not understood, and can be adapted to if
identified. Frequently, a little troubleshooting and fine tuning has
resulted in a great deal of relief and substantial improvement in functioning.
If my services could be of use to you or to someone you know,
or for further information, please call.
