Accepting new clients. Trauma informed therapist. Are you experiencing anxiety, depression, chronic pain or illness, PTSD, panic attacks, food addiction, binge eating, grief, divorce, ADHD, phobias, test anxiety, public speaking? Do you seek change? Let’s do the work in therapy so you can live the life you want to live. Change is possible. I am committed to establishing trusting, meaningful relationships to inspire change. I purposefully create an affirming environment where you'll feel validated and empowered to embrace change. Choose either virtual therapy or come meet Trooper and me in-person for tail wags & warm greetings.
Creativity and mindfulness inform my approach to therapy. Inclusivity and intersectionality shape my belief in anti-racist, feminist, humanistic, holistic, and social justice approaches to therapy.
Former researcher with the University of Michigan's Food Addiction Science and Treatment Lab. Focus or research: Food as a maladaptive coping mechanism for emotional and chronic pain. Advisory board member for animal assisted therapy interventions. Focus: expand and advocate for partnerships with animals in therapy.
