Sometimes life doesn't just include raising a family – it includes the challenge of raising a child with ADHD, or autism, or any of several behavioral disorders. Sometimes life is overwhelming and you need help with anxiety, or depression, or a relationship. I understand. Raising a child with a disability is what inspired me to go back to school and become a psychologist. My behavioral orientation started at Mankato State University in Minnesota where I got my bachelor's degree. It continued with the clinical psychology program at Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo where I received my doctorate in 2010. I completed both my internship and fellowship at the Kelberman Center for individuals with autism in Utica, NY 2008-2010. I fell in love New York and made it my home.
