Psychotherapy Therapists in Skokie, Illinois 60076

Choosing a psychotherapist is an important--and often difficult--decision. I practice psychotherapy that it is interactive: I respond to what my clients tell me; I offer advice when appropriate; and provide guidance for deeper understanding when this can be helpful.

I offer goal-directed psychotherapy, promoting competence and self-assurance in day-to-day problems; and insight-oriented exploration for greater self-awareness, understanding, and self-actualization. My work with artists and other creative people has taught me to seek creative solutions to problems for all my clients.

I have received advanced training in clinical hypnosis from The American Society of Clinical Hypnosis (ASCH), and bring this as an adjunct to therapy, or as a technique for change on its own.

“Are you feeling depleted, overwhelmed, or taken-for-granted? Are you unhappy in your marriage or feeling ineffective with your children? For years, I have helped individuals and couples to find greater satisfaction in their lives by helping them build a stronger sense of self and create more satisfying relationships---with partners, children, extended family, co-workers and friends. In therapy we will explore the basis of your dissatisfaction and help you discover new understandings and build new skills that will bring about greater joy and satisfaction in your life.

In addition to years of clinical work with individuals and couples, I wrote my dissertation on the subject of women and sexuality (and the experience of desire and non-desire); I've taught college-level and community-based classes on human sexuality, marriage and family relationships, depression, and eating disorders.

I offer free phone consultations. Please call and we can talk about what is troubling you and what you are hoping to change. I will provide initial impressions and give you a sense of what working together would be like. Please see my website for more information about my practice.”
