My approach begins with a sensitive and empathic understanding of what brought you to seek help. Then, we will discuss what approach would be best suited to you. I welcome people from all backgrounds--regardless of race, ethnicity, sexuality, gender identity, or religion. People I work with tend to want to understand the roots of the feelings or symptoms that trouble them, so that they can become more resilient to life's challenges. When it is practiced to its fullest potential, therapy engages deeply with your whole self, so that you can make profound and sustainable changes in your life.

Do you feel like you are in a rut? Do you have goals in your life but can't figure out how to achieve them? You are not alone. We all feel stuck at some point in our lives; where the routine of life gets the best of us. I strive to provide a safe and comfortable environment to explore those feelings, where you feel heard and understood. Collaboratively, we will work on helping you feel unstuck and more satisfied with your life.

NOW accepting new clients for teletherapy! You want to heal, but feel lost, pressured, or self-critical?

I offer a warm, relational, and person centered approach to people of all ages struggling with anxiety, depression, life transitions, perinatal mood disorders (postpartum), trauma/ptsd, family concerns, and other mental and emotional health concerns. I have worked across the lifespan throughout my career - but currently see a lot of young to middle aged adults. I am currently providing telehealth throughout the state of Michigan and Indiana.

I have experience with adoption/attachment, to sexual trauma, to depression/anxiety, and/or substance abuse. I am LGBTQ+ affirming, knowledgeable about polyamorous relationships, as well as kink friendly. Clients who are ready to make a change in their lives or their way of thinking will find the most success working with me. Change is scary but if the way you've been isn't serving you then let's create a new picture of it the way you want it to be. Change might be scary but the only thing scarier is staying unhappy.

Whether you are struggling with a life transition, family or romantic relationship, or overwhelmed with stress from work or school, I want you to know that I will do my best to hold a safe and judgment free space for you to explore those feelings. I will help you look deeper into yourself on your journey of positive change, personal growth, and self-improvement. Let’s work together to figure out why you are not as happy as you would like to be and work towards living up to your full potential, for yourself, and the people in your life.

My main focus is on the importance of emotional wellbeing. I believe that everyone experiences difficulties in their lives and see the counseling office as a space for clients to express and normalize difficult feelings in a safe environment. I believe that people have all of the components for a happy and healthy life but sometimes need help processing and navigating through their feelings and experiences to learn new and more effective ways to cope. I operate through the Polyvagal Theory lens to assess emotional regulation and work to stabilize and co-regulate clients as this is essential to healing.

As the Greek Philosopher, Heraclitus, stated, "The only constant in life is change." We all experience transitions in life, but we do not need to go through them alone. Similar to hiring an architect when building a house, or a personal trainer when working on fitness goals, my role is to assist you in navigating your way through the twists and turns of life's transitions.

I specialize in Adoption Triads, Grief, Trauma, Life Transitions (Role/Identity/Caregiving), Self-Esteem, and Family/Social Relationships. I work with several Middle School, High School, and College students to manage stress, anxiety, self-esteem, and the transition to adulthood independence. In addition, I work with adults who want to unlearn negative thoughts and behaviors.

At its core, therapy is about supporting a life lived with awareness and choice, which is not only the best way to honor it, but also to meet the suffering that comes with it. Jung says: "I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become". In a way both are true; the family we're born into, and life's events impact us deeply, and we can learn and grow through our experiences, the good and the bad, as opposed to letting them trap or control us. We can all lead lives consciously and choicefully.

In beginning a therapy, I first try to create an environment that is non-judgmental and accepting. Comfort and trust are indispensable for developing a strong working relationship in psychotherapy. During the course of therapy, I try to help identify and explore problem areas at face value at the time they are presented. I also stay attuned to dimensions of personal struggles that are not readily apparent.

During my 30+ years as a licensed clinical social worker in full time practice, I have learned that vulnerability is universal, and also, that people of all ages have internal resilience and enduring growth potential. Unresolved internal issues often get expressed through such symptoms as anxiety, sadness, feelings of low self-esteem and shame, feeling stuck in repeated patterns of behavior, and in unfulfilling relationships. Therapy offers an opportunity to work through and understand, thereby resolving, these difficulties.

As a licensed psychotherapist I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental environment where patients can share their fears, deepest thoughts, and emotions. I strongly believe that being your true self is essential to making progress in therapy and overcoming challenges. While I have a particular interest in working with women experiencing depression, I am prepared to address a wide range of issues. My general therapeutic approach is cognitive-behavioral therapy, but I tailor my techniques to the individual needs of each patient.

There is never a better time to take the first step than the present and therapy begins with a trusting relationship between the client and therapist. Coping with issues such as depression, anxiety, loss, work stress, burnout, grief and relationship obstacles that cause challenging and painful emotions and thoughts can be overwhelming. Life stressors and unexpected life changes can feel debilitating and you are not alone. A non-judgmental and supportive environment where you feel heard and understood is important. You are not just another appointment on the schedule and I believe in connecting with clients on a deeper level.

Taking the first step in getting support is a big one, and you've decided now is the right time. There's something big going on in your life, and is too overwhelming to handle on your own or maybe you just want someone to talk to free of judgement. Having someone safe who listens and can provide perspective, encouragement, feedback and coping skills can really help. Making changes is not easy, but we can go at your own pace, where you lead the conversation and what you'd like to focus on. I'm here to offer support and walk with you on your journey to achieving your goals and jumping over the hurdles life throws your way.

I commend your decision to prioritize your mental health and well-being. I offer a compassionate, non-judgmental, and safe therapeutic space for clients experiencing challenges such as depression, anxiety, and adjusting to different life stages and transitions, including career or academic stress, student caregiving challenges, relationship issues, fertility challenges, cultural adjustments, intergenerational immigrant family issues or redefining your purpose in life. I meet you where you are and work in partnership to help you on your journey of self-discovery, healing, and empowerment that is tailored to your unique needs.
