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.

Seeking support can be a nerve-wracking experience, but with the right provider it doesn’t have to be. I am a doctoral-level psychologist dedicated to providing compassionate, person-centered care to people of all ages. I have over 15 years of experience using a variety of therapeutic styles to meet the individual needs of each client, couple, or family I treat. While I utilize evidence-based treatments including EMDR, CBT, IFS, and DBT therapies, I strongly believe that treatment must be tailored to each client’s needs. I also believe that a strong, supportive therapeutic relationship with one’s provider is the key to success.
