Assessment Approach: My current clinical focus is on ADHD evaluation for adults. I approach assessment as a collaborative process that helps individuals better understand their strengths, challenges, and learning styles. I strive to foster an affirming and transparent assessment environment where clients feel supported and comfortable exploring their experiences and the factors that brought them to seek evaluation. My hope is that each evaluation not only clarifies diagnostic questions, but also provides meaningful recommendations that can support daily functioning, academic or occupational success, and overall well-being.

About Me: I am a third-year doctoral student at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) studying Counseling Psychology. Before joining Graceway, I completed practicum training at the Disability Resources and Educational Services (DRES) at UIUC, where I provided both therapy and assessment services, including evaluations for ADHD, autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and learning disabilities. I also gained clinical experience as a practicum student at the UIUC Counseling Center, supporting college students with a range of mental health and academic concerns.
