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)
