Great to meet you!

Seeking support takes courage and I’m so glad you’re here. I work with teens, young adults, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, life transitions, and the many stressors that come with every day life.

I also specialize in women's health, with a focus on supporting women during pregnancy and the postpartum period. I enjoy working with new moms and parents who may be feeling overwhelmed, stretched thin, or unsure of themselves as they navigate the demands and identity shifts that come with parenthood.

I have a diverse clinical background, including working with teens in a partial hospitalization program, as well as young adults at the University of Michigan’s college counseling center.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is grounded in compassion, authenticity, and curiosity. I want therapy to feel both professional and as though you are chatting with a friend.

What you can expect from me

Whether you’re adjusting to a new phase of life, feeling stuck in patterns that aren’t serving you, or just trying to manage day-to-day stress, I’m here to help. I view the therapy process as a collaborative, team-based relationship. I'm here to guide, support, and encourage you during some of life's biggest challenges.
