I obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology from Northwestern University, a Master of Education degree in Community Counseling from Loyola University Chicago, and a Master of Arts degree in Transformational Coaching and Leadership from Wright Graduate University (now Maharishi International University. I hold a Professional Certified Coach credential through the International Coach Federation, a certificate in Dynamic Breathwork, and am licensed in the State of Illinois as a Professional Clinical Counselor.

I’ve worked in the field of substance abuse and have a broad view of the ways all of us use substances and other things to cope with life.

I welcome working with people of all gender identification, race, and religion.

Clients will often see results in 2-3 sessions, but for lasting change, I recommend at least a 12-session package start. We will meet every week or every other week to start, and then transition to bi-monthly or monthly sessions. Sessions are usually 50 minutes, but 30-minute half sessions are also available and can be potent and efficient. Our schedule will depend on how much time you need to integrate your learning into your life.

I offer monthly or every other month check-in sessions for as long as you need.

My background includes the study of the popular Imago, Attachment and Emotion-focused therapies, and I’ve worked for over 20 years with an organization that coaches couples with an assignment-based program designed to build resilience and intimacy. I also integrate and teach couples about the 7 principles the Gottman Labs found that lead to lasting, happy marriages.

I am a facilitator for the Prepare/Enrich program which include a research-based assessment that provides feedback as to your strengths and growth areas as a couple.

The first step is to fill out my couple’s intake form so I can learn about your specific goals. The first session will give us more information as to how to proceed forward.

I also offer premarital coaching packages that you can read about on the home page.

The best thing is to set up a 20 min Discovery call so you can let me know what you’re looking for from coaching and ask me anything you’d like. We can assess our “chemistry”, and if I’m not a fit for you, I’m happy to provide other recommendations or resources for you.

After our initial call, I’ll send you my coaching contract and intake form and we can schedule our first session.

If you are a returning client back to work toward a new result in your life, or you know you’d like to work with me, schedule a full session through my calendar link.

My rate ranges from $200-250 for individual and couples coaching sessions. Discounted packages of 8 or 12 sessions are available when paid in advance.

My corporate rate is $300-400/hour depending upon the service requested and sponsor.

I offer a handful of need-based discounts.

I am happy to partner with the company Life is Sales to offer individual sales coaching for entrepreneurs and salespeople.

While I love working with couples and helping the newly engaged set their relationship up for success, not all marriages last, and so I have partnered with First Year Forward to facilitate Healing Circles for individuals navigating divorce.
