Her experience at the Psychological Services Center at Northern Illinois University have given her variety of experiences in psychodiagnostics assessments, exposure therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, family therapy, Gottman therapy (Level 1), and other research-based treatments for a range of diagnoses.

She enjoys working collaboratively with her clients and their families to ensure all voices are heard in the treatment or testing process.
