Clinical
BIO

I am currently a Clinical Psychology intern at the University of Illinois at Chicago. In addition to seeing clients at the Pediatric Stress and Anxiety Clinic, I also conduct neuropsychological assessments for children and adults through the Department of Psychiatry and provide health psychology consultations throughout UIC hospitals.
My training in graduate school at Finch University of Health Sciences/The Chicago Medical School has included clinical psychology, neuropsychology, and neuroimaging (fMRI) research. My research has complemented my clinical experience by identifying and examining neural circuitry within the brain that is involved in emotion and emotion processing. Through my collaborations with the neuroimaging group at the Medical College of Wisconsin, I am currently completing a series of studies investigating brain structures responsible for the regulation of mood in women, men, and individuals suffering from Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. I hope to continue to develop my research repertoire to investigate how the development of psychopathology, including neurodevelopmental and affective disorders, alters the functioning of neurobiological mechanisms underlying emotion and cognition.
