I am licensed as a Clinical Social Worker in the state of Illinois.

I earned my Master of Social Work degree from the University of Illinois.

I have been in private practice for over thirty years, providing individual, couple, family and group psychotherapy for all ages. I am skilled in short- and long- term treatment approaches. I also offer consultation to parents, school personnel and allied professionals. 

My previous  experience includes 6 years as a school social worker for a Chicagoland school district’s gifted program. I have also worked in residential treatment, inpatient psychiatry and youth/family counseling agencies.

I have developed and presented a series of seminars for parents and school personnel helping them to address social and emotional issues of students. Specific topics included school violence prevention, dealing with students' motivational imbalances, understanding diverse learners, and suicide prevention.

I have also made presentations at The Illinois Society for Clinical Social Workers, The International Conference for School Social Workers, and The Illinois Association for Gifted Children.
