I work collaboratively with individuals, couples and families
helping them develop the confidence and skills to bring about positive changes for themselves.
Using cognitive
therapy, which is short-term "here and now" therapy, I help to empower my clients with the tools necessary
to deal with emotional and relationship problems both in the present and future.
I am
particularly interested in mood disorders, stress management and the mind/body connection for promoting wellness. I also specialize
in relationship therapy, child and family therapy and women's issues across the lifespan. I am the Chair of the PPD IL Alliance
and IL coordinator for PSI, national and local non-profit organizations, dedicated to supporting women with pregnancy/postpartum
mood disorders.
I received my doctorate in Clinical Psychology at Southampton University, England, and
have clinical experience in both hospital and outpatient settings. I have presented at both national and international
conferences and have published research on postpartum mood disorders. Since moving to the USA twelve years ago
I have been in private practice in Northbrook working with adults, adolescents and children.
I am a member of
the American Psychological Association and British Psychological Society.
