As a Clinical Psychologist, I have spent the majority of my training working with children/adolescent and young adult populations. I received both my master's and doctoral degrees from Adler University and trained in forensic, neuropsychological, private practice, and therapeutic day school environments. The experiences I have gained across these training experiences have prepared me for culturally-informed and evidence-based treatments. My treatment approach is based in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), though I often implement different approaches (i.e., Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, or DBT) which allow for further exploration of the tie between thoughts and feelings. Additionally, I work from a strength-based perspective to help the client identify ways in which they are succeeding rather than focusing solely on the “problems.” I believe that therapy does not end with the individual, and therefore make it a point to include family members in the process, while in turn striving to increase the communication among family members outside of therapy. In doing so, I am able to best support the client in as many ways and environments as possible.
