Biography
Education and Training Experiences
After graduating from Marquette University with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Psychology, I received my masters and doctoral degrees from Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science. My graduate training curriculum emphasized learning and applying cognitive-behavioral therapy. I completed my Predoctoral Clinical Psychology Internship at Alexian Brothers Behavioral Health Hospital where I had the opportunity to work in the Center for Anxiety and OCD intensive outpatient and partial hospitalization programs. I specialized in evidence-based outpatient treatments for PTSD, Anxiety disorders, and OCD during my Postdoctoral Fellowship at the University of Michigan/ VA Ann Arbor Healthcare System Consortium.
Therapeutic Approach
My therapeutic approach consists of cognitive-behavioral and humanistic principles: I value your capacity to change your thoughts and behaviors and your autonomy to do so. When providing treatment for anxiety disorders and OCD, I focus on behavioral change. I believe in the science of behavioral, exposure-based interventions because research demonstrates that fear diminishes by systematically facing it. I have continually witnessed the effectiveness of patients gradually approaching and overcoming feared situations, thoughts, sensations, and memories. Although I believe in the science of such interventions, I know that treatment would not be effective without human strength, resiliency, and capacity to overcome challenges. I am amazed by the courage of my patients to fight their discomfort and regain control over their anxieties and lives. I am honored to be a part of their victories.
I believe that successful treatment requires a strong therapeutic alliance and patient-driven treatment decisions. We will discuss your treatment goals and preferences during the first session. I seek to provide weekly, short-term treatment so that patients can conquer their fears and return to their lives. I work with patients 18 or older but am also qualified to work with adolescents.
Treatment Protocols:
Exposure and Response Prevention Therapy (ERP)
Panic Control Treatment
Exposure Therapy for Specific Phobia
Treatments That Work Series for Anxiety Disorders (Gold standard of behavioral interventions)
Prolonged Exposure Therapy (PE)
Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)
Thank you for considering me to be your provider.
