I am training to be a limited license psychologist (LLP), and I am currently at Meredith Psychological Services. I primarily use Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and I want to primarily work with adolescents and young adults, those who struggle with emotional regulation skills, neurodivergent folks, LGBTQIA+ folks, people with PTSD, depression, and anxiety.
I offer therapy that is LGBTQIA+ and neurodivergent affirming. I also primarily use Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) as well as a blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).
My therapy is not about changing the individual and who they are, but rather giving them coping skills and problem-solving skills to help them live in a world that is not designed for marginalized people. Please feel free to reach out and set up an appointment today!
Call or Summer Bridges now for a free 15 minute consultation - (269) 468-0354

I work with clients who may have not responded well to traditional therapy practices in the past, or marginalized groups who face very real world problems who may have felt invalidated in therapy. My practice aims to give problem solving skills and coping skills to my clients who live in a world not designed for them. I also help clients navigate intense emotions using DBT skills.

I primarily use Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, while blending DBT with aspects of ACT and CBT. DBT has proven to be really helpful for those who experience emotions very intensely, or who may have not responded well to traditional therapy practices in the past. It can be very helpful for neurodivergent folks in particular.
