About Me

Dr. Johnson's journey into psychiatry began during her medical school days at UT Southwestern, where she discovered her true interest lay in understanding human psychology. She went on to complete her residency at Northwestern, where she gained extensive training in evidence-based psychopharmacology and psychotherapy. Her training in psychoanalysis at the Chicago Psychoanalytic Institute deepened her understanding of the human psyche, allowing her to develop a comprehensive approach to treatment.
