I believe that con­nec­tion with mem­bers of your care team is very impor­tant whether that’s your ther­a­pist or your pri­ma­ry care physi­cian. I want to help bridge the gap between your phys­i­cal health and men­tal health as I believe both are very impor­tant and inter­twined. I want to help you set both short and long-term goals for your­self and cel­e­brate your suc­cess­es along the way as these goals are met. I want you to feel like ther­a­py is a safe space where you can feel under­stood and sup­port­ed, while still feel­ing a sense of chal­lenge and accomplishment.

Clinical Interests

I enjoy work­ing with patients that expe­ri­ence chal­lenges relat­ed to ADHD, behav­ioral con­cerns, depres­sion, anx­i­ety, food/​nutrition issues affect­ing men­tal health, par­ent­ing skill devel­op­ment, anger, com­mu­ni­ca­tion deficits, self-esteem/­con­fi­dence, sib­ling inter­ac­tion issues, chron­ic pain, and play ther­a­py.

Personal Interests

My fam­i­ly is def­i­nite­ly one of the most impor­tant things to me. When I’m not work­ing, I usu­al­ly plan­ning some sort of trip to some­where. Whether it’s a girl’s week­end with my mom or a week­end in Chica­go with my hus­band, I always like to have a trip to some­where planned. I also enjoy play­ing with our Shih Tzu (Gra­cie), read­ing, and volunteering.
