Clinical Supervisor
Pronouns: He/Him/His
I founded Framework Associates in 2017 with the mission to provide accessible, affordable, and culturally-affirming psychological services. I treat a wide variety of concerns and have experience working with people from many cultural backgrounds. My specializations involve treating anxiety, ADHD, and relationship concerns from psychodynamic & relational therapy perspectives. I’m also passionate about LGBTQIA+ wellness and love helping other members of my community thrive.
I received my Doctorate in Clinical Psychology from Roosevelt University where my dissertation focused on interpersonal boundaries in online dating. I completed my final years of clinical training at the University of Illinois and the University of Texas at Dallas. Before launching Framework Associates, I worked as a psychologist and adjunct psychology faculty at a few universities.
As Director, I oversee Framework’s clinical services to ensure they are culturally affirming, of the highest quality, and aligned with our practice's values. Additionally, I’m a clinical supervisor within Framework’s training programs.
Outside of my role as a psychologist and Director, I enjoy providing private practice consultation to colleagues seeking to launch or grow their own dream practice.
I live in the Valley with my husband, kid, and miniature dachshund.
