My website
Welcome! I focus on treating anxiety-related concerns including generalized anxiety, social anxiety, and OCD. I’m especially passionate about supporting young adults’ and college students’ mental health. “Sticky”, ruminative thoughts— the kind that feel like gum stuck on the bottom of your shoe—do not respond to traditional approaches that aim to prove your anxious thoughts wrong. Instead, we will work on flexibility around these sticky thoughts, and build self-compassion. I do not consider thoughts as “good” or “bad”, but rather as “helpful” or “unhelpful.” You can expect a warm, compassionate approach to therapy with me.
I received my MSW from the University of Michigan, and completed a 2-year post-MSW fellowship at the University of Michigan’s Mary A. Rackham Psychological Clinic, where I trained in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, Exposure and Response Prevention, and Internal Family Systems.
It's exhausting to constantly battle self-criticism, perfectionism, and unwanted thoughts. I admire the strength and courage it takes to reach out for therapy. If you think we could be a good fit, feel free to send us an email or submit an appointment request on our website. Please note, emails are directed to our admin team rather than my personal inbox.
