I believe an effective component of therapy is knowing that you have someone who is truly in your corner. This is why I strive to create a supportive space where you feel seen and understood—a place to safely wrestle with feelings, explore options, and gain clarity. I use a comprehensive approach borrowing from various therapeutic modalities to ensure that we keep in mind where you come from as we try and remove the obstacles standing in the way of who you want to become.

Do you feel like you’re just "white-knuckling" your way through the day? Maybe you’re a fellow Veteran struggling with the transition to civilian life, or someone feeling the heavy weight of trauma, grief, or situational depression. You might be facing a major life change—like graduation or a new career—and the anxiety is starting to feel unmanageable. My ideal clients are those ready to try something a bit unconventional to move beyond just surviving. You aren’t looking for a clinical robot; you want a therapist who is real, direct, and focused on helping you build a life that is actually worth living, and that's what I offer.

I became a psychologist to help individuals learn to appreciate their individuality and understand that not everyone learns, processes, and thinks the same way; but rather everyone is unique and can benefit from therapy. I enjoy teaching coping skills to people so they can feel more empowered and take control of their own lives. I find this especially important when working with clients that have had a past diagnosis of a learning disorder. I feel everyone has the potential for growth but the path to growth is not the same for everyone.

Saint Clair Shores, MI 48081
I have extensive experience addressing PTSD, vicarious trauma, mood/dissociative disorders, sexually reactive youth, and grief.
Healthy connections provide for relationships wherein we feel integrated, empowered, and validated. When these connections are damaged we can suffer physical pain, social isolation, instability and internal fragmentation. It’s at these times, a supportive advocate can assist in repairing damaged or lost connections through a therapeutic rapport. My work is done in relationship with you, exploring how stress, trauma, addiction or disease has impacted your connections and deciding which ones need to be repaired to restore balance to your life.

FAQ - Teenage and Adolescent Therapists
What does therapy for teenagers look like?
When a therapist works with a teenager, the pair will talk about what the teen is struggling with and explore solutions, which may involve interpersonal skills, coping strategies, medication, or lifestyle changes related to sleep, diet, and exercise. Different therapists employ different modalities, but most involve a combination of conversation and skill building.
How long does therapy for teenagers generally take to work?
There’s variability in teenagers’ experiences and challenges; some may begin to improve from therapy within a few weeks while others may take several months or longer. Teens can discuss their progress with their therapist periodically to assess how they’re improving and any changes to the treatment plan that could potentially accelerate that progress.
How do you encourage a teenager to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love while framing therapy as an opportunity to explore a tool that could help improve their life; just like they practice baseball or dance, now they can practice their emotional skills. Give your teen control over the process where you can—maybe by weighing in on choice of therapist and signaling that therapy involves confidentiality, so a parent need not know all that is discussed in sessions.
How do you prepare teens for therapy?
You can prepare your teenager for therapy by describing what the process will look like and setting expectations for timeline, if requested. You can explain that the first session may begin with an assessment phase, that they can describe their experiences but that the therapist will ask questions too, and that it may take time to feel comfortable opening up. Ask how they’re feeling about the process and answer any questions calmly and supportively.
