Great to meet you!

I've been a therapist since 2015 and have worked with all kinds of people, from those facing homelessness in Detroit to curious five-year-olds learning about their feelings. I’m trained in Gottman Couples Therapy, have training in infertility mental health both in the US and abroad, and am working toward a perinatal mental health certification. I like to mix proven methods with warmth and a good sense of humor, so you'll always feel at ease. Helping you find your own strength and grow is what inspires me, and I’m here to support you every step of the way.

My approach to therapy

My therapeutic approach begins with creating a warm and supportive space where clients feel truly heard. I use evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Prolonged Exposure (PE), while also allowing clients the freedom to open up at their own pace. My specialties include infertility, third-party donor journeys, and postpartum adjustments, all areas in which I bring personal and professional insight. Also as a former military spouse, I am passionate about supporting military families through deployment, reintegration, and transitions to civilian life. My goal is to guide and empower you as you navigate life's challenges, helping you find resilience and growth.

What you can expect from me

Our first meeting is an important step in your journey, I want to ensure that our work together is the right fit for your needs and that you feel supported from the very beginning. I recognize that starting therapy can feel daunting, so I strive to make our initial session as relaxed as possible. Together, we'll talk about your goals and explore how I can best support you in reaching them.
