As a clinician, I believe positive change occurs from a combination of new insights, shifts in thoughts and perspectives, changes in behaviors, and healing experiences. My therapeutic approach is to utilize a variety of interventions, theories, and evidence-based practices to promote changes in each of these areas. I believe psychotherapy is a collaborative endeavor and I work together with clients to create a plan to help them achieve their goals. I also strongly believe that our individual challenges are inextricably linked to larger social and societal structures. Psychotherapy should not only focus on individual-level factors, but work to address these systemic issues as well. Understanding the impact of these influences at the family, community, national, and global levels allows us to more accurately and compassionately view our own struggles and to identify new solutions. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Perinatal Mental Health Clinician. I completed my Bachelor’s and Master's degrees at the University of Chicago. I have completed additional postgraduate training in cognitive behavioral therapy, psychodynamic psychotherapy, and perinatal mood and anxiety disorders. Earlier in my career, I provided psychotherapy in a primary care setting to a diverse population of clients addressing a wide range of concerns and challenges such as depression, anxiety, traumatic stress, and complex health problems. I am also a perinatal mental health clinician for the Endeavor Health Moms Line.
