Maybe all you know in this moment is that there is pain, and that something in your life needs to shift. Change doesn’t usually happen in big, grand ways. It tends to unfold in quiet, steady, and supportive spaces where you can gently set down the load, breathe, and make sense of your story. I am committed to creating that calm and safe space where your healing can happen. I will bring kindness, honesty, and my humanity to each session with you. I will help you find clarity and your own voice while we illuminate parts of your story that might feel confusing or overwhelming. You deserve to be heard, understood, and supported.
I began my social work career in 2004. I have worked in various settings both in California and Michigan including inpatient hospitals and clinics. I specialize in eating disorders; grief of all types; chronic illnesses; relationship and attachment work; high-achieving professionals navigating anxiety, perfectionism, and burnout; and ADHD.
I respect individual differences, and adapt my evidence-based interventions to each client's unique needs, goals, and personalities. I mainly use insight-oriented therapy, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Interpersonal Therapy. I often incorporate elements of DBT and CBT. If I am not the right fit, I will assist you in finding the best match.
