Great to meet you!

I'm originally from Detroit and was drawn to mental health following a career in nonprofits. With more than 5 years of experience, I've worked in university counseling centers, private practice and intensive outpatient programs.

My approach to therapy

I primarily use DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) and specialize in folks seeking to manage big feelings, self harm, emotional outbursts and other behaviors. I'll help you better understand patterns in your life and help you figure out if those patterns actually work for you! Therapy with me is a space to honestly reflect on your life without judgement and develop skills to help you create the change you want to see.

What you can expect from me

Clients can expect a nonjudgemental environment.

This is a space where you can talk about your romantic life and your panic attacks.

Where you can talk about current events and difficulty managing substances.

Where you can talk openly about your suicidal ideation and your professional goals.

Therapy with me isn't a place of judgement, it is an opportunity to honestly reflect and decide which thoughts and behaviors you want to keep around.
