I am a Clinical Psychologist with more than 15 years of experience in a variety of settings. I received my Psy. D from the Chicago School of Professional Psychology in Clinical Psychology. Two of my biggest inspirations are my physically disabled mother and her never give up attitude and my spouse’s will to move forward after serving over 20 years in the U. S. Army Infantry and being awarded a Purple Heart. I have always been fascinated by human experience and relating to others in a meaningful way. Three words that describe my style are authentic, compassionate, and individualized. My hobbies include reading psychological thrillers, staying current with psychological research, traveling with my husband, and spending time with my Doberman Pinscher, Fancy.
