We will all experience times in our lives when we really need someone that we can talk to, someone who will really listen, someone we can trust. Therapy is a powerful, evidence-based tool that has been proven to meet those needs. Though there is often a stigma attached to seeking support for mental health concerns, in reality, our mental health is an integral part of our overall health and wellness and, in my opinion, should be treated with the same importance as seeing a physician or a dentist. Though people seek therapy for a variety of reasons, the common theme is their hope to live happier, healthier, and more productive lives.

Wellness = the state of being in good health, especially as an actively pursued goal. My ideal client is one that energizes my passion for integrative health. Many of those I have worked with have complex issues that are open to exploring the many layers of treatment that include assessing the mind, body and soul. I firmly believe that you can not get to your best personal level of healthy living without practicing an intersection of practices. Using a body-based and holistic approach, I see myself as a companion on the journey with individuals to building stronger self-awareness, personal growth and wellness.

Do you identify as a highly-sensitive-person (HSP)? Deep feeler + thinker? Recovering perfectionist ...people-pleaser ...performer? Worry you are both too much + not enough? Struggle in relationship to self + others over the years? Dealing with quarter-life to mid-life transitions & challenges? Everyday overwhelm? Feel stuck but also ready for change? Together, we will explore how your past effects your present & co-create new ways forward. My main philosophy is: You are already whole & already know what you need (yes, even right now, as you're reading this). Most of us need some help to do so.

My goal as a therapist is to support clients in connecting to themselves, building resilience, and enhancing their overall well-being using a strengths-based approach. My clients are looking for care regarding sexual health, LGBTQ+ health, women's health, relationship and intimacy concerns, and attachment concerns. I best serve transitional-aged youth and adults. I'm also involved in cat rescue and can't wait to see your furry friends in the background.

Do you feel disconnected from yourself and/or others? Would you like to navigate your thoughts, emotions, burdens - your internal & external world(s) - with more ease, understanding or expansion? Do you identify with being neurodivergent, highly sensitive, burned out, a people-pleaser, perfectionist, excessively anxious, chronic-fatigue, masking, deep thinker, (blocked) creative, old soul, late bloomer, or feel “broken”? Want a space to process your human experience & co-create a path forward, from the comfort of your home? I offer online therapy to women (cis, non-binary, trans, LGBTQ+) in Michigan.

I believe that people are so close to their own life’s challenges and stressors that they often miss what is right in front of them. Therapy provides an opportunity to step back and regain perspective. I know that each individual is an expert in their own lives, and at the end of the day, only they know what is best for them. Through therapy, I create a supportive and nonjudgmental space for you to speak your truth and look at things in a different way. I will point out and empower you to use your strengths to your advantage. Finally, I will sprinkle in some humor, swear words, and quote The Office because laughter is important.

Life can be overwhelming; from the chaotic daily stressors, to life changing transitions. Are you wondering how to tackle these challenging situations? Do you know something is "off" with your energy, but not quite sure what it is or how to access it?

I believe that with support and the right therapeutic relationship you can make the changes you want in your life. I am a Certified Sex Therapist and I attended the Sexual Health Certificate Program at the University of Michigan. I work with folks who want to fully experience sexual pleasure, but aren't sure how. This may be related to sexual pain, sexual trauma, or an upbringing lacking education about sexual health. My approach honors and addresses situations in the past, but also gives you ideas about how to feel better in the here and now.

In my therapeutic approach, I aim to support my clients by utilizing compassion, empathy and genuineness. In my practice, I typically use an integrative therapeutic approach. Different symptoms require different levels of care, and they also require the use of different therapeutic methods.

I'm currently accepting new clients for virtual or in-person care. I provide individual therapy for women and gender non-binary clients. My clients struggle with body image, relationship problems, or oftentimes a general sense of not feeling "good enough." Sometimes this shows up as anxiety in a romantic partnership, at work, or in the way they view their bodies.

Anxiety, depression, imposter syndrome, and other various mental health concerns can feel so defeating. A common saying is "the first step to healing is talking about it", and I find this to be so true. Finding support in another person to share this concerns with, like myself, can open up so many doors for you to begin your journey of healing. As a person also struggling with anxiety and imposter syndrome, I know that asking for help is the biggest barrier. But once you finally do, the tension you hold will release and you can become your best self!

I am able to communicate effectively and adapt my style and techniques according to individual needs, personalities, and backgrounds to best assist each client in achieving their goals and fullest potential.

The key to growth is love. All that is helping, caring, sharing, restoring, forgiving is love. A psychotherapist is a conduit to change. I believe that everyone has the ability and desire to improve her or his life; to maximize the gift that is life. I seek to facilitate such development through compassionate, dynamic participation in the transformation process.

Se Habla Español. Are you experiencing the stress with every day life? Are you feeling overwhelmed and like you just can't do everything you need to do? Having gone through both of those experiences, I know what it's like to feel like the world is caving in.
