Life is stressful; especially as a teen or young adult! So many life changes, school pressure is hard, and relationships with friends and parents can feel overwhelming. As a queer, neurodivergent therapist, I have the lived experience and know how hard it can be to constantly worry, feel shame about making small mistakes like forgetting important dates, and wonder if you are 'enough'. Luckily, I have designed my practice to help those with ADHD/ASD, Anxiety, and those in the LGBTQIA+ community overcome life's challenges. I would love to talk with you more about what YOU need!

Welcome! I am licensed clinical social worker that provides individual and family therapy services. I have specific interest working with children, youth, and families. I also provide individual therapy services for adults. My therapeutic approach is relational, person-centered, emotion focused, and trauma-informed. I have a variety of skill sets that I adapt to meet the unique needs of each individual that I work with. I use CBT, DBT, and Collaborative Problem Solving in my work. My goal is to support the process of personal growth, self-discovery, and promoting desired changes to inform a more meaningful quality of life.

All families experience transitions, and even positive change can cause stress. I employ an eclectic approach with a strong emphasis on attachment, structural, and solution-focused family therapies. I work with young children and their caregivers to form secure attachments early on. This leads to more effective communication and problem solving patterns and a higher level of resilience down the road. My work tends to be short term and builds on the existing strengths of your family. My work with couples is attachment informed as we look at past and current relationships to elucidate our most fulfilling ways of connecting.

I work with relationships-the dance between the Feminine and Masculine. My interactions with couples & families experiencing conflict, relationship challenges and recovering from wounds leaves them feeling a sense of renewal. My focus on the Feminine specifically aims to help women develop confidence to live the life they desire. I have cared for people experiencing a broad range of struggles including marital betrayal, depression, relationship conflict, decision-making, or grief. It is so important for me to hear the individuals I work with, help make sense of their world and give them valuable tools to make the changes they need.

***Currently available for in-person and Teletherapy appointments*** I am passionate about people leading empowered, connected, and purposeful lives. I provide counseling services to diverse clients as they learn, change, grow, and function in increasingly inspired, creative, healthy, and adaptive ways. I work collaboratively with clients in identifying needs, making changes, and practicing new skills in a safe and supportive setting. I am experienced in working with adults, couples, families, as well as adolescent clients, on issues including depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, anger, identity, and unwanted thoughts or emotions.

As a compassionate clinical psychologist, I understand that life's journey can be challenging. The weight of daily struggles and the echoes of past events can sometimes become overwhelming, leaving you feeling adrift in a sea of confusion, stress, and exhaustion. It's okay to acknowledge these feelings – they're a natural part of being human. However, it's also important to know that you don't have to face them alone. In times of uncertainty and turmoil, psychotherapy offers a path towards clarity, freedom, and relief.

About Me: I am a compassionate and dedicated CSWA with a passion for helping individuals navigate life's challenges and achieve their full potential. I will be working through Mindful therapy services. With a Master's degree in Social work and 6 years of experience in both clinical and private practice settings, I provide a safe and supportive environment where clients of all ages, race, gender, and sexual orientation can explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in a safe space. Currently I am waiting on the state to approve my supervision and as soon as that is up and running I can start to take on clients.

I believe that being seen and heard in the caring non-judgmental presence of another creates an environment where deep healing can occur. I practice from a mind-body holism approach, meaning I honor the inseparable union of mind and body. Many of my clients benefit from somatic healing where years of previous talk therapy has only touched the surface. Together we will navigate a path towards understanding the natural somatic and emotional responses associated with difficult life events. I believe we all deserve to feel comfortable in our own skin and at home in our own lives.

I provide in-person and telehealth with individuals and couples of all ethnicities, genders, and sexual orientations, ranging in age from 18 - 65+.

Neuroscience has taught us that "the mind" is encapsulated not only in the head; it exists throughout the whole body. As a holistic practitioner, I am interested in how you can learn to listen to the wisdom and cues of your inner knowing, beyond just what your thoughts tell you, and mend the relationship between mind/body. We all have the ability to grow and transcend from our past and present wounds and turn them into sources of empowerment and healing. I greet identity work, life transitions, and LGBTQ+ issues with positive psychology and feminist therapy frameworks to aim towards your sense of liberation.

After graduating with a Masters in Social Work from the University of Michigan in 2003, I have provided both home based and outpatient therapy to at risk youth and families. I specialize in working with children, adolescents and adults dealing with a wide range of issues. I believe that small shifts at any level, i.e. personal, environmental, or within relationships, can affect positive change within any individual and system.
