About
Hi, and welcome! I’m a licensed clinical psychologist based in Illinois, licensed in both Illinois and New York, and authorized to practice across participating states through PSYPACT.My professional background includes psychological assessment, individual therapy, and forensic psychology. Throughout my work, I’ve developed a genuine appreciation for the complexity of human experiences and the importance of understanding each person beyond a diagnosis.I believe that feeling heard and understood can make a meaningful difference, particularly when you’re seeking answers about yourself. My goal is to provide a welcoming, collaborative environment where you feel comfortable sharing your experiences, asking questions, and gaining a better understanding of yourself.
My interest in working with neurodivergent individuals comes from my curiosity about the different ways people think, feel, and experience the world. Through my work in psychological assessment, I’ve come to appreciate how meaningful it can be to gain a better understanding of yourself. My goal is to help you find clarity while ensuring you feel heard, respected, and supported throughout the process.
My approach is grounded in compassion, curiosity, and respect for your individual experiences. I believe in recognizing your strengths while understanding the challenges you may face. My goal is to create a supportive, collaborative environment where you feel heard, valued, and comfortable being yourself.
