Through my clinical experience, I have worked with a wide range of client populations – from young people navigating thoughts of self-harm to older adults attempting to understand their emotions and behavioral responses. Many clients have come to me to work through issues like anxiety, depression, substance use disorders, and post-traumatic stress disorder. Using a wide range of tools, including motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy, and psychodynamic therapy, I help individuals negotiate complex life obstacles with an emphasis on empathy and empowerment, cultivating self-compassion and resilience.
I completed my Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology at the University of Dayton, and went on to earn my Master’s in Social Work at the University of Michigan with a focus in Interpersonal Practice in Integrated Health, Mental Health, and Substance Use. I have clinical experience with a diverse client population, ranging from teenagers to older adults.
I believe in a holistic approach to wellness. My goal is to tailor our work to your specific needs and help you manage stress, increase connection to yourself and your emotions, and feel comfortable in our intentionally judgment-free environment. I am also passionate about the mental health benefits of physical fitness and am a certified personal trainer.
