Great to meet you!

​I'm a Michigan-based trauma therapist specializing in PTSD and attachment disorders. I have over eight years of experience working with individuals and families in crisis. Sensitivity is a superpower; Intensity is a gift. Being highly sensitive can leave you feeling isolated and alone in your experiences. Your mindset matters! ​Together we will work to mentally makeover the parts you may try to hide or think are too ugly to face.

My approach to therapy

I am not your traditional therapist. My therapeutic approach is to help you 'get comfortable with the uncomfortable.' I am direct, I am quirky and empathetic to your needs and experiences and how it is impacting your daily life. I am a solution-focused clinician, who enjoys watching individuals go from surviving to thriving!

What you can expect from me

I am a strength-based clinician who helps individuals impacted by emotional neglect and abandonment develop healthy relationships and a sense of self. I am skilled in DBT and crisis intervention with suicidal adolescents and adults with co-occurring disorders. Clients can expect to walk away from sessions with a sense of understanding. They can expect to feel heard, supported, and empowered.
