Biography
Everyone is capable of improving their life and reaching their goals, but sometimes we need a little help. I aim to provide that help for my clients through support and guidance. As we work to achieve the client’s goals, the alliance between clinician and client is of the utmost importance to me. Although my primary therapeutic treatment approach is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I also incorporate aspects of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and distress tolerance training to best assist clients and their needs.
I received my Bachelors Degree from the University of South Florida in psychology with a minor in public health. I earned my Masters Degree from Northern Illinois University (NIU) and am actively working towards my Doctorate at NIU. My research focus is on social anxiety as well as mindset beliefs in the context of sexual harassment, specifically how those beliefs contribute to internal responses to sexual harassment.
Prior to my work at OakHeart, I provided individual therapy to both adolescents and adults in an outpatient and inpatient setting. The inpatient setting that I worked in focused on working with individuals on OCD and anxiety issues. I have also provided group therapy services to children and adolescents in a private practice setting. In addition to my work at OakHeart, I currently work as a behavioral consultant for a long-term care facility for individuals with cognitive and developmental disabilities and am a part of the Trauma Services Center in the Psychological Services Clinic at NIU.
I have experience with clients presenting with:
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
Social Anxiety Disorder
Generalized Anxiety Disorder
Panic Disorder
Depression
Trauma/PTSD
Specific Phobias
Relationship Issues
