I have worked with children/teenagers within the therapeutic day school of all backgrounds and worked at a practice that accepted all insurances, bringing in a wide range of individuals.

My doctorate degree is from Roosevelt University- a social justice focused university. Diversity and inclusion efforts and education was woven into every part of our program. Additionally, I continue to education myself through books, webinars, and listening to my clients about how my identities intersect with theirs in the therapeutic space.
