If anxiety, ADHD, trauma, or chronic illness are taking up more space in your life than you want, therapy can help you feel more grounded, clear, and in control. I specialize in working with adults navigating anxiety, ADHD, trauma/PTSD, relationship and intimacy concerns, and the emotional impact of chronic illness. Many of my clients understand why they feel the way they do, but still struggle to create lasting change—and are looking for therapy that can go deeper than talk alone. I am also able to provide supervision services for LPC's- contact me for details
My approach is warm, collaborative, and trauma-informed. I use a variety of approaches (IFS, EMDR, EFT, CBT, Gottman) to help clients process past experiences, better regulate their nervous systems, and build more secure relationships. I work at a pace that feels safe and respectful, with an emphasis on understanding and developing self-compassion.
With substantial post-graduate work in sex therapy through the University of Michigan, I can also offer a sex-positive, inclusive space to explore intimacy, desire, and relationship concerns without shame. I accept several major health insurance plans. If you’re considering therapy, I invite you to reach out for a consultation to see if we’re a good fit.
