About

In Residence in Chicago. One of the founders of the Lincoln Park Therapy Collective and the First Hotline in Chicago; Consultant and Trainer for Metro Help. Specialities: Hypnosis; Couples Counselling; Individual Therapy; Group Therapy; Psychodrama, Consultation.

I know how meaningful and life changing psychotherapy and counseling can be, because I have experienced them as a client and as a therapist. I realized in.the beginning of my work as a chaplain to the Cook County Jail and the Chicago House of Correction that I had been drawn to this work because I needed help myself.

I spent the next 25 years receiving training as a psychotherapist and my own therapy at the same time. My own therapy changed my life over and over again. The more work I did in my own therapy, the better my work with my clients became.
