The Phoenix Institute
Moving from a career in the performing arts to a career as a psychologist (ISPP/Chicago), I received training at the University of Chicago (Adult Neuropsychology) and in community mental health (Niles Family Service). My clinical internship was completed at Linden Oaks Hospital in Naperville, Il. I worked intensively there both with inpatients and partial hospitalization programs, treating bipolar disorder, depression, psychosis, personality disorders, and relational issues in children, adolescents, and adults. I also had the privilege of working intensively with the psychiatrists, staff, and patients in the Eating Disorders Program. The challenges of conquering an eating disorder are great, and the process of recovery often demands a team effort. The most effective treatment requires the active participation of the client with the added support and structure that a therapist, dietician, and psychiatrist can contribute. Eating disorders are not necessarily about the food so much as being symptoms of a breakdown in communication and/or the avoidance of problematic feelings. For this reason, I like to work both individually and in the family context whenever possible. I strive to create a partnership that suits the unique and always evolving needs of the individual client. Interested in attending a group? Let me know your thoughts, as I will be putting together a therapeutic pro-recovery group in the fall to help manage the onset of the holiday season!
