Doctoral Extern

Who I Am:

I am currently a second-year Doctorate of Clinical Psychology student at Adler University. I grew up in Madison, Wisconsin, and attended the University of Wisconsin Madison, majoring in Psychology, Sociology, and Gender Studies. My clinical experience includes providing service facilitation in a community mental health program supporting neurodivergent youth. Additionally, I have worked with nonprofits dedicated to empowering women and girls, and I completed an internship with a legal nonprofit, further broadening my understanding of social justice and advocacy.

My Approach to Testing:

My approach to testing is rooted in providing compassionate, informed care to those seeking clarity and support in understanding their mental health and lived experiences. I prioritize a strengths-based, trauma-informed, and person-centered approach, ensuring that each assessment is neurodiversity-affirming and culturally sensitive. I believe that testing services carry significant responsibility, and I am committed to making the process reliable and meaningful for every individual.

My Interests:

I am particularly passionate about exploring the intersection of psychology with social justice and advocacy. My interests lie in areas such as reproductive psychology, gender and sexuality-based concerns and empowerment, and neurodiversity, where I see significant opportunities to bridge these fields and advance meaningful change.
