I believe in understanding the whole person, and exploring both conscious and unconscious patterns to facilitate healing and growth.
I am a clinical social worker with and received my Master's of Social Work from the University of Michigan. I am a Level 1 certified IFS therapist (soon to be level 2). My primary focus areas include complex grief, ADHD, postpartum and life transitions.
My approach to therapy is eclectic, drawing primarily from Internal Family Systems (IFS) and psychodynamic perspectives. I work to help clients understand and work with the various parts within themselves to achieve greater self-awareness and harmony. I also integrate psychodynamic principles, exploring how past experiences and unconscious dynamics may be influencing present challenges. This combined approach allows for a deeper understanding of the root causes of issues while also providing practical tools for change.
I strive to create a warm, welcoming, and non-judgmental environment in our sessions. I believe the foundation of effective therapy is a strong therapeutic relationship, so we work together to build trust and comfort. I prioritize open communication and regularly check in to ensure you feel heard and understood. I want you to know that I'm here to listen without my own agenda; you are the expert on your own experience, and I'm here to support you.
