I earned my Doctoral Degree in Clinical Psychology (Psy.D.) from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology. My training in neurodevelopmental and neuropsychological assessment took place across several respected hospital settings, including Rush Neurobehavioral Center, Advocate Illinois Masonic Pediatric Developmental Center, NorthShore Hospital Systems, and a private practice in Chicago.

​

I completed my pre-doctoral internship in Health Psychology at the Alexandria VA Health System in Louisiana, followed by a two-year post-doctoral fellowship in Clinical Neuropsychology with a specialization in Pediatric Neuropsychology at Henry Ford Health in Detroit, Michigan. During my fellowship, I conducted neuropsychological evaluations for children and adolescents with a wide range of neurological and developmental conditions, including epilepsy, traumatic brain injury (TBI), genetic disorders, cancer, intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH), ADHD, autism spectrum disorder (ASD), learning disabilities, and congenital conditions that affect development.

​

After completing my training, I joined a pediatric group practice in Tampa, Florida, before returning to Illinois to open Devonshire Pediatric Neuropsychology. My research interests include the early identification of autism spectrum disorder and the impact of early childhood trauma on the developing brain.

​

In addition to my doctoral training, I hold a Master’s Degree in Elementary Education (M.Ed.) from DePaul University. Before becoming a psychologist, I taught preschool and kindergarten in the Chicago Public School System and at a private Montessori school. That experience continues to shape the way I understand children and support families today.
