Therapists » Psychological Associate
I believe in providing a safe, judgment-free, and supportive space for my clients. From a cognitive-behavioral approach, I aim to balance symptom relief in the present while managing life’s challenges and uncertainties. Along with this, I help develop insights and depth into why one’s struggles may be happening. I value a strong therapeutic relationship as a channel for understanding and a way to foster open and honest dialogue. My therapy style can be described as compassionate, direct, solution-oriented, and mind-body-focused. Together, we will create a personalized and flexible plan to create a more authentic and fulfilling life. I provide individual therapy for a range of presentations, including anxiety, depression, trauma, grief/loss, gender/sexuality, identity development, relationship & interpersonal issues, ADHD, life transitions, and stress. I work with adults, with a special interest in working with LGBTQIA+, and young adults transitioning to college and the workforce. I recently completed an APA approved internship at Springfield Hospital Center. I completed a master’s degree and a doctorate in Clinical Psychology (Psy.D.) at the Chicago School of Professional Psychology, DC campus. My dissertation focused on the experiences of young adults with ADHD, self-esteem, and job satisfaction.
