Navigating a new or overwhelming health challenge—or simply trying to hold your daily life together—can leave you feeling entirely alone, even when surrounded by your family and friends.

I provide online therapy to adults of all ages across Michigan. I specialize in helping individuals manage intense life stressors, navigate major pivots, and process the unique emotional toll of health-related anxiety, acute trauma, TBIs, and chronic illness

Together, we will use a solution-focused approach, blending practical cognitive tools (CBT) with somatic (body-based) therapy and advanced trauma processing like the Flash Technique. My goal is to help you process the present moment while building a sustainable foundation so you can regain control of your life long-term.

When you are already physically and emotionally exhausted, reaching out for help is intimidating. Let's start with a relaxed, no-pressure call to see if we are good fit.

My Scheduling Approach:

  • Consultations: Available openings on my schedule reflect my availability for this initial 15-minute chat.
  • Ongoing Sessions: I offer flexible scheduling to accommodate your life. We can set a recurring day and time, or schedule week-to-week if a strict routine is difficult to maintain.
  • Hours: I offer morning and afternoon appointments, Monday through Friday.

If you are ready to take a gentle step forward, browse my calendar to book your consultation today.
