Center for Neurodiverse Wellness

Welcome. I have years of experience helping people change. My practice focuses on helping clients uncover their existing strengths, and I utilize a variety of therapeutic methods depending upon your specific needs. Additionally, I see neurodiverse adults and couples, and most recently, I published "Different Planets: Understanding Your Neurodiverse Relationship." 

I have been in practice for over 30 years and I am a professor emerita of Purdue University NW where I directed the university's Couple and Family Therapy Center for 25 years. I am also a Clinical Fellow and Approved Supervisor in the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy. It's important to me to provide quality services that work for my clients.

I typically have a wait list for services.
