PsyD | Licensed Psychologist

There are times in everyone’s life when the day-to-day becomes increasingly challenging. Whether that be work, health, family, marriage, or any of life’s other demands, you are not alone. As a licensed psychologist, I offer compassionate, evidence-based care with curiosity, empathy, warmth, and an open viewpoint. I draw on a wide range of therapeutic approaches to create personalized plans that support adolescents, adults, and couples/families in navigating life’s challenges and fostering meaningful growth.

My approach to therapy focuses on understanding your unique experiences and strengths to help you make sense of your emotions, relationships, and personal goals. By building a strong, collaborative relationship, I aim to create a safe space where you can explore and address whatever you’re carrying, whether it’s stress, relationship difficulties, or other emotional concerns. I work with clients to break free from unhelpful patterns, build resilience, and enhance their connections with themselves and others, tailoring my approach to what works best for you as our therapeutic alliance grows.

With years of experience in both therapy and assessment, I have worked in diverse settings, including the department of corrections, college environments, and inpatient care, allowing me to develop a well-rounded, generalist approach to supporting clients.

I look forward to partnering with you on your journey toward well-being.

Life can be hard, but you do not have to navigate it alone. In an ever-changing world, I find it increasingly important to provide collaborative care, guided by evidence-based assessments and treatments, to individuals and families who are struggling with mood concerns, developmental transitions, and interpersonal issues both within and outside of the family unit. I take an integrated and collaborative approach to care. Every person is unique, and I believe treatment should always be tailored to your needs and circumstances. At the core of my approach is my emphasis on meeting clients where they are and providing the resources, strategies, and techniques needed to help them get where they want to be.

I offer expertise in helping clients with mood concerns (such as anxiety and depression), obsessive compulsive concerns (OCD), interpersonal and social issues, stressful life transitions, and parent-driven concerns. I help clients experiencing anxiety and depression improve their mood through Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I specialize in Exposure-Focused CBT (EF-CBT) and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for clients with obsessive and compulsive tendencies who want to take back control of their lives.

For clients experiencing interpersonal or social challenges, I also offer communication and socioemotional coaching with a focus on social problem solving and decision making. Having worked with individuals across the lifespan, including children, teenagers, young adults, adults, and parents, I understand the many transitions that arise throughout life, such as school changes, work demands, career shifts, and developmental changes.

I can help clients make sense of these transitions and create action plans that reflect Motivational Interviewing (MI) and ACT approaches. I also bring expertise in guiding parents through managing disruptive behaviors in their children through Parent Management Training (PMT), with a focus on parent-led behavioral interventions.

I pride myself on creating a safe, affirming, and collaborative therapeutic environment where clients feel understood and supported in making meaningful changes. I believe everyone has an innate ability to grow, and my role is to help you and your family harness that potential through compassionate, research-informed care

Life can throw many unexpected challenges our way, and you are not alone in facing them. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of how to move forward in your personal or professional life, therapy offers a warm, collaborative, and compassionate space to recognize and unpack your struggles, empowering you to make meaningful changes.

I provide a non-judgmental, client-centered, and collaborative therapeutic environment where you can explore the narratives you carry and work toward your goals. I welcome clients from all backgrounds and identities, offering affirming and culturally conscious care to BIPOC, LGBTQIA+ individuals, and those navigating a range of life circumstances. I draw on a wide range of evidence-based therapeutic approaches to create personalized plans that foster emotional growth, resilience, and empowerment. As someone who has personally navigated life’s challenges, I understand how difficult it can be to ask for help, and I’m here to support you every step of the way.

I am particularly passionate and experienced in providing services to young adults navigating a wide range of life circumstances. Whether you an experiencing a significant life transition, questioning your path in life, wanting to explore, become more confident, and affirmed in your identity, or are managing pre-existed mental health concerns that make the stressors of day-to-day life difficult I am here to help. Using evidence-based practices including ACT and narrative therapy techniques, we will explore your story, values, and identity to help connect you with and move you towards a personally fulfilling and meaningful life. I am deeply committed to the treatment of trauma and helping those who have experienced traumatic events reestablish a sense of safety and empowerment in their lives. This includes the treatment of PTSD and complex PTSD using evidence-based treatments such as CPT and stage oriented integrated therapy. In these approaches we will focus on establishing a sense of safety and develop effective skills to manage the painful emotions, memories, and body sensations that trauma can cause. Using these skills for stabilization, we can work to process traumatic memories with the goal of remembrance, mourning, and integration into our life story, leading to empowered reconnection with ourselves, others, and the world.

In addition, I provide specialized support for those experiencing grief and loss. The loss of a loved one can shatter our lives and make it difficult to put the pieces back together. I am dedicated to serving those who are experiencing difficulties with grief, bereavement, and mourning. Using evidence-based treatments from Robert Niemeyer’s tripartite model of meaning reconstruction, we will help explore your unique story of grief and loss to better understand how the loss has affected you, your relationship with the deceased, others, and the world. Together, we will work to find new meaning, maintain healthy connections with your loved ones, and rebuild your identity.

I graduated from Adler University’s APA accredited Clinical Psy.D. program and completed my doctoral internship at Northwestern University’s Counseling and Psychological Services. Through my training, I gained experience working with young adults from diverse backgrounds, helping them navigate a wide range of emotional, relational, and personal challenges. My approach is always tailored to your unique needs, creating a safe and supportive space for growth and healing. If any of the above resonates with you, I’d be honored to discuss how we can work together to support your journey toward well-being.

Feeling overwhelmed with new life stressors or stuck trying to navigate a longstanding problem? You are not alone and change is very possible. I use evidence-based assessments and treatments to help you navigate concerns such as anxiety, trauma, substance use, and relationship problems in order to live the life you want to lead. Collaboration and integration are at the forefront of my approach to therapy, as I believe you are the expert on your life and goals, and I’m here to help provide the tools and nonjudgmental support to aid you, tailored to your individual needs.

I routinely utilize evidence-based treatments such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), trauma-focused interventions such as Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Prolonged Exposure (PE), Exposure Responsive Prevention (ERP), and Trauma-focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT), and Couples therapy approaches such as (BCT and IBCT). CBT helps you challenge negative thoughts to improve mood and build confidence. CPT, PE, and TF-CBT are trauma-focused treatments that help you process and heal from trauma through addressing negative beliefs and challenging avoidance associated with traumatic experiences. In IPT, you learn to reduce depressive symptoms and navigate life transitions through building social connections and interpersonal coping skills. BCT and IBCT are couples-based therapy approaches that help you foster strong communication, emotional connection, and problem-solving skills.

Whether you are new to therapy or returning after a break, I am here to walk alongside you with compassion, skill, and sometimes a little humor to help you feel comfortable and hopeful about the journey ahead.
