I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, who specializes in the treatment of Anxiety Diagnosis and OCD. I have a Bachelors of Science in Molecular and Cellular Biology from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and a Masters of Art in Clinical Psychology from the Chicago School of Professional Psychology. My professional  experiences have allowed me to work well with people of all ages and backgrounds. I began my career working for six years at a pediatric hospital providing both inpatient, outpatient and residential therapy. After that, I worked at two different emergency rooms, where I did hundreds of crisis and non-crisis assessments. I moved on to work with chronically mentally ill adults at a community agency before joining another hospital's Anxiety and OCD department. My last hospital job allowed me to received extensive training in effective and cutting edge techniques to treat OCD and all other anxiety disorders (panic disorder, social anxiety, specific anxiety, generalized anxiety, PTSD).

I enjoy the work that I do and I always look forward to working with challenging or new situations. Even though, I see myself as someone who uses a broad range of therapeutic techniques, my therapy sessions often utilize CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy), and ERP (Exposure with response prevention). I take pride in helping people find their inner strengths, and push through the many challenges they are faced with. Some of my clientele has included celebrities, high profile athletes, and top executives. As my client you can rest assured that there is hope and that together we will identify ways to cope and lead more fulfilling lives.
