About
Hello! I am a clinical psychologist and board certified in Clinical Health Psychology. I currently live in the greater Chicago area and am licensed in Illinois. I am truly passionate about getting to know the person behind the daignosis. I believe that feeling heard, understood, and respected is an essential part of any meaningful evaluation, and I will approach the evaluation process with warmth, compassion and 30 years of clinical experience. I will take the time to listen to your story, understand your experiences and strengths, and consider carefully the many factors that shape how you think, feel and function. My goal is to create a comfortable and supportive space where you can be yourself and feel genuinely understood, while providing thoughtful, evidence-based recommendations that are practical, affirming and meaningful to your goals.
While creating a safe space where clients can share their history and experiences, I prioritize understanding your goals for coming to Prosper Health to ensure the evaluation process is useful in meeting your needs going forward. I believe understanding each client's unique strengths and abilities is essential in helping them develop a plan for navigating their challenges and moving forward to achieve their personal goals.
I am especially interested in working with autistic/neurodivergent clients becuase I genuinely value the opportunity to understand each person's unique way of experiencing the world. I know it is important to feel seen and understood rather than defined by a diagnosis or by how they may differ from others. I find it rewarding to help people recognize their stregths, make sense of their experiences, and find ways to move forward that feel authentic to who they are.
