The good social worker doesn’t go on helping people out of a ditch. Pretty soon, she begins to find out what ought to be done to get rid of the ditch.
– Mary Richmond
“As a supervising psychologist at Adler Community Health Services in Chicago, my goal is to support the education and training of future mental health professionals through a socially responsible lens. I believe in the power of encouragement, constructive and honest feedback, and reciprocal learning in relationship with trainees. I utilize a developmental and relational approach to supervision and emphasize context, culture and aspects of individual difference to ensure a holistic approach to psychological care.”
“Knowledge is Power”
“I train clinicians to lead with equity, compassion, and humility, collaboratively building healing spaces rooted in restorative justice and systemic care.”
“The teacher is of course an artist, but being an artist does not mean that he or she can make the profile, can shape the students. What the educator does in teaching is to make it possible for the students to become themselves.” – Paulo Freire, We Make the Road by Walking: Conversations on Education and Social Change
“I strive to empower future clinicians to serve marginalized communities with compassion, insight, and adaptability—always grounded in advocacy, equity, and a deep sense of social responsibility.”
When we help just one person discover their worth, their voice, and their purpose, we ignite a ripple effect that can transform families, communities, and generations to come. Education is more than the transfer of knowledge; it’s the catalyst for healing, empowerment, and creating lasting change. Every conversation and moment of guidance is an opportunity to plant a seed that can grow into something greater than we’ll ever see. That is the heart of my work, and the reason I show up every day with compassion, hope, and the unwavering belief that changing one life truly can help change the world.
“My mission is to empower students to take the next step toward their education and career goals. Through every interaction, I aim to make prospective students feel informed, confident, and most importantly, understood.”
I truly believe that every student has a unique story to share and incredible potential just waiting to be unleashed. My goal is to support each individual in finding the path that feels right for them, in their personal growth and sense of purpose.
