Great to meet you!

I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Social Work from Eastern Michigan University and my Master’s degree in Social Work from the University of Michigan. As a mental health therapist, I believe in meeting people where they truly are. Life is short, hard, and unpredictable, and my goal is to help individuals find their own path to happiness and peace.

My therapeutic approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and strength-based techniques—combined with empathy, humor, and a genuine desire to reduce pain in the world. I strive to create a space where people feel understood, supported, and empowered to grow.

My approach to therapy

ChatGPT said:

My approach to mental health therapy is compassionate, collaborative, and rooted in meeting people where they are. I believe that healing begins with understanding each person’s unique story and strengths. Using techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and strength-based approaches, I help clients develop practical tools for growth and resilience. I also use humor and authenticity to create a safe, supportive space where people can explore challenges and move toward lasting change.

What you can expect from me

ChatGPT said:

In our first session, clients can expect a comfortable and welcoming space where they can begin to share their story at their own pace. I focus on getting to know you—your experiences, strengths, and what brought you to therapy—without judgment or pressure. Together, we’ll talk about what you hope to achieve and how we can work toward those goals. My priority is to help you feel heard, understood, and supported as we start this journey toward healing and growth.
