Do your ADHD symptoms cause you to experience chaos at work or school, put stress on relationships, or make you feel inferior or disappointed in life?

I earned my PsyD in Clinical Psychology from Adler University in Chicago. During my educational journey, I had the privilege of completing my pre-doctoral internship at Hazelden Betty Ford’s Center for Teens, Young Adults, and Families. In this esteemed institution, I had the unique opportunity to work closely with adolescents and young adults who were grappling with co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders. My professional path has encompassed a diverse range of settings, including a community mental center, a research hospital, and private practice, where I specialized in neuropsychological assessments.

Navigating life’s challenges can sometimes feel overwhelming and intimidating. As your therapist, I’ll hold space for you to express your fears and vulnerabilities in a supportive space. Together, we can actively explore challenges you’re experiencing, and generate solutions based on your needs and strengths. I create a nurturing environment for clients through genuine compassion, patience, and open-mindedness. My style is kind and warm, infused with creativity, mindfulness, and a sense of humor. As a therapist and previous educator, I have extensive experience supporting individuals of varying abilities and identities.

I would like to help guide you down the pathway of life with art making. Creative interventions can open the conversation and help you understand feelings, emotions, and turn those into a better understanding of yourself. Creative aspects help you move towards symptom management, increase your empowerment, your awareness, and your self-esteem.
