Helping you better understand yourself and create a clear path forward.
The first step toward wellness is creating a plan to get there.
Life transitions can bring uncertainty about who you are, what you want, and where you are headed. Changes in relationships, careers, identity, or long-held roles can leave you feeling stuck or disconnected—even when, from the outside, things seem to be going well.
I work primarily with adults navigating transitions in their relationships, careers, and personal lives. You may be adjusting to a new stage of life, questioning whether your career or relationships still fit, dealing with the impact of past experiences, or trying to better understand yourself and what feels meaningful to you. Therapy can provide a space to explore these questions without needing to have the answers figured out ahead of time.
My therapeutic style is relational and collaborative. I believe meaningful change begins with feeling genuinely heard and understood, and I work to create an environment where you can talk openly about experiences that may be difficult to put into words elsewhere. Together, we can explore the patterns and experiences that have shaped you while working toward greater self-understanding, acceptance, and personal growth.It’s one thing to know you don’t feel your best, but it’s another to understand why.
Psychological Assessment
Sometimes gaining clarity about yourself can be an important first step toward moving forward. Through psychological assessments, we can help you to find direction when you are feeling stuck in treatment or in need of clarity around specific diagnoses. We can better understand the impacts of underlying neurocognitive disorders, learning disorders, or mood disorders that are contributing to the way you’re feeling today.
Maybe you’re noticing patterns at work that have caused you to wonder if you may have ADHD or have been experiencing persistent sadness or low energy but are unsure whether it’s due to a condition like depression or something else. I work with clients of all ages to better understand themselves through psychological testing.
My goal is to help you gain new insight into yourself and how you operate in your work, relationships, and life. After completing an individualized series of tests, we’ll review the results together in order to paint a picture of what we think is going on. This serves as a starting point in order to determine what your path forward should look like. By the end our work together, I want to equip you with the information you need to experience the relief that comes from new understanding as well as tangible next steps to get connected with the support that is right for you.
Prior to earning my doctorate of Psychology in Clinical Psychology at Adler University, I received my Master of Arts in Sport and Performance Psychology from National University in San Diego. Most recently, I’ve worked to develop activities for public allies that aid in furthering justice, an equitable society, and diversity in leadership.
I’ve also spent time volunteering for Arrive in Kenya, an organization providing housing and quality education to underserved communities in Kenya, and the Nielsen Community Service Team serving the diverse communities in Chicago.
