Hello

As a School Psychologist, I have education and experience with using evidence-based and research-based interventions and strategies to support a diverse population, including those with and without disabilities. 

​

I earned my undergraduate degree from Elmhurst University in Psychology, with a minor in Art. After graduating, I began substitute teaching and working at a pediatric therapy company as a Registered Behavior Therapist (RBT). 

​

While substitute teaching and working as a RBT, I attended National Louis University, where I earned my Education Specialist degree in School Psychology. Most recently, I've earned certificates in Character Education and as a Stress and Anxiety Management Specialist.

​

I've had experience working with various populations in small and large districts; and in low, middle, and high socio-economic areas. I am passionate about advocating for what is best for children and providing my clients high quality service to support their goals.

I believe that every person has the potential to learn and grow, and I am dedicated to helping them achieve this. My approach is collaborative and strengths-based, concentrating on identifying and addressing each client's unique needs.
