Chicago Mindful Psychotherapy and Andersonville Psychology are now
Andersonville Mindfulness & Psychology
I am a diagnostic extern in my third year at Roosevelt University, working towards my doctorate in clinical psychology after earning my master’s in clinical psychology. As a therapist, I tailor various frameworks to suit my client’s diverse and intersectional needs. I use a trauma-informed, integrative, and culturally humble lens to explore mood disorders and intrapersonal challenges, referencing skills from various therapeutic modalities, including Dialectical and Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Psychodynamic Therapy. I also explore additional therapeutic methods such as emotion-focused therapy, person-centered/humanistic approaches, art therapy, schema therapy, and family systems, which allow us to focus on how relational dynamics may contribute to your mental health and well-being.
While in my externship at Andersonville Mindfulness and Psychology, I will provide psychological testing services to support clients as they explore a range of functional and interpersonal concerns, including, but not limited to, neurodivergence/autism/ADHD and other working memory or attention-related questions, personality testing, and clarification of mood irregularities.
Overall, I work to help individuals understand and appreciate the unique interaction between environmental, social, and biological factors as they contribute to their lived experiences. In other words, I encourage exploration by first helping clients develop a conceptualization of themselves to understand the impact of these bio-psychosocial experiences on their mental health. This may involve challenging but therapeutic discourse during sessions to help my clients appreciate and better empathize with themselves. Working together, we will explore treatment options collaboratively to determine the best clinical approach for your needs. I always strive to create a safe, affirming, and validating environment to help my clients explore their identity and feel more at peace with themselves.
