9 years of post-graduate clinical practice include experiences in IOP, PHP, inpatient levels of care providing interdisciplinary treatments for addictions, mood and co-occuring diagnoses, OCD, schizophrenia and chronic mental illnesses, vocational and homelessness care. My clinical and administrative trainings are rooted in the recovery communities of Chicago which includes non-profit substance use clinic, juvenile detention center, and veterans housing + vocational agency. I started private practice in 2018 alongside my full time employment, to focus primarily on Brainspotting and Reiki services.
