Treating each individual holistically isn't just a practice – it's a profound journey that holds the key to unlocking truly personalized and transformative healing experiences. By probing the depths of our identity we pave the way for comprehensive well-being, where the interconnected facets of the self converge to create a tapestry of vibrant health and genuine fulfillment.
I am a transplant to the Chicago area, and grew up in Western NY where I worked in a number of fields including journalism and education before moving to Illinois. I graduated from Elmhurst University with my Bachelor’s of Science in Exercise Science and went on to attend Rosalind Franklin University where I graduated with my Master’s of Science in Physician Assistant Studies. I am NCCPA board certified and licensed in Illinois, and bring more than three years of diverse clinical experience as a physician assistant to my practice. I first developed an interest in behavioral health during my time working in emergency medicine, where I was tasked with assessing and managing acute psychiatric crises.
My clinical interests include substance use disorder and addiction treatment, and I strongly believe in the importance of harm reduction measures - I am a vocal advocate for treating addiction by focusing not only on medical intervention but also on minimizing the social and personal impact of substance misuse. I also enjoy working with adolescents with various behavioral health diagnoses including anxiety and ADHD in order to help guide and support them through their unique challenges.
I look forward to welcoming you to Clarity Clinic and hope to be both a trusted medical professional to you as well as a source of solace and understanding for all patients under my care.
