ABOUT ME:
I received my M.A. in Counseling from Northwestern University. I specialize in working with adults, specifically in the areas of relationship issues, anxiety, depression, and coping with grief due to illness or losing a loved one. I also have a doctorate in communication studies (emphasis in family communication). I have extensive experience in university teaching and conduct research in the areas of interpersonal communication, gender and communication, and bereavement studies. I have published articles and a book on how to cope with experiences of death and the power of continuing a bond with the deceased. I believe that we are all narrators of our own lives. When faced with situations of adversity, sometimes it feels as if we are trapped in a story we cannot escape. As a mental health professional, I am committed to being by your side during your darkest times—to help you find healing and strength and rewrite the story of your life.
