About Me
I am a graduate of Northwestern University, where I earned a Bachelors degree in Psychology, and The Chicago School of Professional Psychology, where I earned my Doctorate in Clinical Psychology.
I have been practicing in outpatient private practice settings since 2008. I have worked with children, adolescents, and adults over the years; however, my practice is currently focused on serving older adolescents and adults in individual psychotherapy.
My areas of clinical interest and expertise include (but are not limited to):
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Medical concerns (chronic or acute health problems)
- Mind/body concerns
- Trauma (including history of physical abuse, sexual abuse, and medical trauma)
- Acculturation and identity concerns related to immigration or being the children of immigrants
- Eating disorders
- Grief and loss
- Life transitions
