Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, but trust in knowing you are in the right place. I strive to create a space where you feel safe and comfortable to be vulnerable. An environment where you feel empowered to tackle any of life's challenges. Together we will identify areas of growth, develop goals, and work towards becoming the best version of you. I will make it a priority to tailor therapy to meet your individual needs as we are all unique individuals.

My experience includes working with children, adolescents, and adults dealing with a variety of needs such as anxiety, depression, adjustment, relationship issues, trauma, and grief. I use an eclectic approach pulling tools/techniques from person-centered, CBT, DBT, humanistic, mindfulness-centered, and art/play therapy.

It would be my privilege to walk this journey with you.

A bit about me. I completed my master’s at Oakland University in the spring of 2025. I enjoy gardening, reading (any and all books), hiking, and spending time with my three cats.
