I am a licensed clinical psychologist and help adolescents and young adults struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, or life transitions. Licensed in both Illinois and Missouri, I’ve been practicing for over 12 years and have experience with clients in hospital settings, schools, residential treatment facilities, as well as private practice. I am trained in the Neurosequential Model of Therapeutics, Collaborative Problem Solving, and Theraplay.

Trained as a child and adolescent psychologist and specializing in the integration of play therapy principles and creative expression, I value meeting clients where they are emotionally, and within their preferred activities. While play therapy techniques are typically associated with younger children, they add value at any age through narrative-based play such as storytelling, games and movement, or fostering space for creativity. I blend evidence-based practices and expressive therapies to help clients gain deeper insight, build resilience, and foster personal growth.
