Millie has been providing therapy for children, adolescents, adults, and families for the last 20 years. She received her Masters Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Northwestern University in 2002, and she has been practicing since in a variety of settings. She has extensive experience working in schools, group homes, hospitals, community agencies, and private practices. She provides sessions in person or via video chat, zoom, and telehealth.
Millie works with individuals and families struggling with:
- academic challenges
- anxiety
- behavior challenges
- depression
- mood disorders
- substance use / misuse
- divorce
- loss and grief
- family and life transitions
- low self-esteem
- wellness

- sexuality
- covid related stress
- PTSD
- ADHD

Millie utilizes an eclectic style in her practice and draws on many different therapeutic modalities including CBT, DBT, play, integrative, solution focused, internal family systems, psychodynamic, and strategic interventions. However, Millie is a family systems therapist at heart, and she always attempts to see the landscape of one’s life, “the bigger picture.” She believes that significant relationships, current life stressors, and past trauma play significant roles in a person’s unique experience; she often involves parents, siblings, and partners in her treatment as a direct and effective way to build and repair relationships, as well as transform patterns at their source.
In 2014, Millie lived in Ibiza, Spain and earned her in-depth 200 hour yoga teacher training certificate. She learned how to integrate yoga, meditation, and somatic experiencing as a healing methodology. The embodiment of everyday stress, anxiety, depression and trauma can be debilitating. Learning different ways for self care can improve sleep, emotional regulation, focus, and overall wellness.
In her free time, Millie enjoys traveling, hiking, yoga, and spending time with family and friends.
