I wanted to become a psychologist since my high school days at New Trier West in Winnetka, Illinois. I enjoy helping people and seeing their lives become happier and more fulfilling.

I attended undergraduate school at the University of Michigan, majoring in psychology.  I received my M.A. and Ph.D. in clinical psychology from the State University of New York at Stony Brook in 1980, graduating Magna Cum Laude. I also am a member of Phi Beta Kappa.

I have had a private practice in downtown Naperville, Illinois for over 20 years. I work with people from DuPage, Will, and Kane County, as well as the Chicago area.
