Therapist Overview
I am a licensed clinical psychologist and have practiced in a variety of mental health settings since 2006. I work with adolescents, adults, couples, and families struggling with a range of issues. I received my doctorate in clinical psychology from LaSalle University with a specialty in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and my Bachelor of Arts from Colgate University. I worked as a staff psychologist for 5 years at The Depression and Anxiety Specialty Clinic of Chicago, a private practice in Lakeview, and most recently at The Family Institute at Northwestern for 2 years. At Lakeshore Psychology Group, I use evidence-based therapies to treat anxiety and mood disorders, emotion regulation, stress, OCD, trauma and abuse, PTSD, identity development, LGB/TQ+ identity and relationships, issues related to medical illness, grief, relationship difficulties, couple and family conflict, parenting challenges, and life transitions. My approach to therapy is respectful, empathic, collaborative, and direct. I want to understand someone’s strengths and uniqueness and then use an integrative approach to address difficulties so that a person can live in ways most meaningful to him or her. I have expertise working with diverse racial, ethnic, sexual orientation, and religious backgrounds.
