About Me
May I introduce myself? If you work with me, you are going to get empathy. On background, I am Clinical Asst Professor of Psychiatry at Ross University School of Medicine, Saint Anthony Hospital, Chicago. I am the author of three peer-review book on empathy, including A Rumor of Empathy. My PhD is from the University of Chicago where I wrote a dissertation entitled Empathy and Interpretation. I got into this business of therapy to expand empathy in the individual and the community.
Approach
My proposal is to spend time listening to you. Together we try to figure out what is the source of your suffering, blind-spots and struggle. Then we get to work in a conversation for possibility designed to make a difference in shifting out of stickiness into satisfaction and fulfillment.

Most emotional upsets, mental illness, and personality disorders are entangled with a breakdown of empathy. That is often not the only issues as biology and circumstances also play a role, but you can be sure the disappearance of empathic relatedness is a significant part of the problem. The service I provide is to restore empathy to the conversation of your life and give you the treatment and tools you need to restore empathy to your relationships and your life.
