Are you an overthinker? Thinking about all possible variables just in case? Have you thought you might be struggling with anxiety, ADHD or depression? Have you experienced a loss, not just by death but loss of plans or expectations? I can help you explore what is holding you back and learn techniques to thrive. I see clients in office in Ann Arbor, online via Zoom, or in a local park.
I believe everyone deserves a nonjudgmental space in their life where they are fully seen, heard, and supported; where individuals of all identities can fully show up as themselves. I am deeply committed to providing you with that space. I create an environment of safety, warmth, curiosity, and openness in which my clients are able to explore the issues and harmful patterns causing them distress and discover healthy ways to live and thrive. I would be a good fit for anyone looking to gain coping skills, manage emotional and interpersonal stress, build self-esteem, and reduce mental health symptoms that are impacting their life. I utilize a collaborative process to help my clients learn important coping skills and tools to create a more fulfilling life. My approach is individualized, trauma informed and client-centered. I use techniques from DBT, CBT and ACT to support clients facing depression, anxiety, emotional dysregulation, and past trauma. I help clients heal, set goals, develop skills, identify values, and manage difficult emotions and situations. I am deeply committed to providing you with an environment of safety, warmth, curiosity, and openness in which my clients are able to explore the issues and harmful patterns causing them distress and discover healthy ways to live and thrive. I operate from a core belief: you are the expert of your own experience. I deeply value and appreciate your innate wisdom and enjoy utilizing a collaborative approach to therapy. It is my job to cultivate a space where you can fully show up as yourself, regardless of any identities you hold. I will see you as a whole person, with lived experience that informs who you are and how you operate through the world, including the systems that you live within. I am an LGBTQIA+ ally and look at things through a culturally responsive lens. Expect someone laidback, collaborative, empathetic, & who will get to know you & form a genuine relationship with you. In my free time, I enjoy playing video and tabletop games as well as relaxing with my 3 cats. For a free consultation or to schedule an appointment with me, please reach out to me. I look forward to hearing from you soon!

Asking for help can be hard, but many challenges are easier to face with support and assistance. I offer a comfortable, safe space to talk. I believe that therapy is a collaborative process and should be tailored for each client, rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. I will listen carefully and share my thoughts on how we can best approach your problem. We will work together to devise strategies and meet your goals. I enjoy working with students. I worked for the University of Michigan's Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) for 7 years. I am a friendly and engaged therapist. I approach my work with dedication, compassion, and a sense of humor. I care deeply about my clients and feel honored that I get to help them overcome challenges, cope with difficult situations, and heal past wounds. I look forward to collaborating with you.

I have experience that can help you as you navigate college pressures, transitions, and career paths. I enjoy working with high school and college students. Often my clients are working through life changes and transitions and they want to better their relationships. I help clients understand things that are happening in their bodies, both physical symptoms related to escalation or anxiety, and their emotions. I can help you identify triggers for negative feelings and interpret various social interactions. Together, we can work to help you gain insight of helpful versus harmful behaviors. I view this work as collaborative. Together, we can recognize patterns and cycles that start with interpretation of events, your cognitive patterns, and your feelings, empowering you to determine which actions to take. We can process past and present events that have impacted your ability to connect with others, while working toward finding peace and growth.
