About Me
Hi, I'm the founder of Positive Balance Wellness and Psychotherapy. I started this practice because I believe in the importance of a holistic approach to mental health treatment. I incorporate a mind/body/lifestyle connection in my treatment plans and strive to help my clients achieve balance in all aspects of their lives.
​
With over 20 years of experience, I'm confident in my skills and ability to help people improve their mental and physical health. My career began helping people change negative behaviors. I honed my counseling skills in Person-Centered, CBT, Solution focused-brief therapy, and Motivational Interviewing working in nicotine addiction and wellness. I am proud to say that I have gained valuable experience working in various settings, including private practice, universities, hospitals, communities, and corporate environments. This diverse background has allowed me to develop a well-rounded skill set and a unique perspective that I bring to my work every day.

------------------------------------
​
In my down time, I focus on living a healthy lifestyle. I love to exercise, travel, be out in nature, and explore the Chicago Arts and music scene. I also, treasure social time with my two sons, family, and friends.
​
Being active in the community is important to me. For the past 5 years, I've been a volunteer member of the Bank of America Chicago Marathon medical PSY team. It has been very rewarding supporting the mental health needs of the Chicago Marathon and Shamrock Shuffle runners.
