About
Hello and thank your for considering me as part of your journey. I’m a clinical psychologist who grew up in Chicago and earned my doctoral degree from Adler University in Chicago. Throughout my career, I’ve had the opportunity to work with people from a wide range of backgrounds and across different settings, experiences that have shaped the way I approach each person as an individual.I believe that reaching out for psychological services or an assessment can take courage. Sharing personal experiences, concerns, and parts of yourself that you may not fully understand can feel vulnerable, and I want you to feel safe and respected throughout that process. I strive to create a warm, compassionate, and judgment-free environment where you can be yourself, feel heard, and know that we are working together toward a better understanding of you.My approach is collaborative, curious, and strengths-based. Rather than defining you by a diagnosis or focusing only on areas of difficulty, I want to understand the whole person—your experiences, strengths, challenges, and the ways you make sense of the world. My goal is for you to leave the assessment feeling understood, supported, and with greater insight into yourself.
My interest in working with neurodivergent individuals has grown throughout both my professional and personal life. In my clinical work with the Air Force and Space Force, I had the opportunity to work with many neurodivergent clients, providing both therapy and psychological assessment. My private practice has continued to deepen that experience, where I have worked with neurodivergent clients across a range of concerns and have experience assessing and supporting individuals with autism and ADHD.My connection to this work is also personal. As the parent of a child with autism, I have become deeply involved in the autism community and have had the opportunity to learn from families, individuals, and organizations in my local community. That experience has given me an even greater appreciation for the importance of understanding neurodivergence from the perspective of the whole person—not simply through a diagnosis or a list of symptoms.What draws me to this work is the opportunity to help people better understand themselves. For many neurodivergent individuals, getting an assessment can provide language and context for experiences they may have been trying to understand for years. I want the assessment process to be one that recognizes both challenges and strengths and helps you make sense of how your unique way of thinking, experiencing, and interacting with the world fits into your life. My goal is to approach each person with curiosity, respect, and genuine openness, while honoring the many different ways neurodivergent people experience and navigate the world.
I take a compassionate, affirming, and strength-based approach to my work. I believe that understanding yourself begins with recognizing not only the challenges you may experience, but also the strengths, perspectives, and qualities that make you uniquely you. I strive to create a space where you can be your authentic self, feel heard and respected, and develop a deeper understanding of how your neurodivergence shapes your experiences. My goal is to help you recognize and build upon your strengths while gaining insight that can support you in living a life that feels authentic and meaningful to you.
