I earned my Master’s Degree in Occupational Therapy from the University of Illinois at Chicago. I have practiced across the developmental spectrum within elementary schools, inpatient subacute rehabilitation settings, inpatient acute psychiatric units, and assisted living facilities.Prior to becoming an occupational therapist, I served in the US Air Force and worked for several years in the information technology field. This allows me to utilize a wide range of life and professional skills to focus my practice on helping individuals pursue meaningful occupations with an increased sense of self-efficacy.Specialties: mental health, functional cognition, dementia care
