Have you ever been told you’re "too sensitive" or "too much"? What about "not enough"? Have you felt pressured to meet other’s expectations and disregard your own needs, feelings and wants? If this feels true, you are not alone. I have experience working with individuals through their traumas, shame, anxiety, anger, depression, identity issues, life transition, relationship troubles, grief, and heartache. I believe therapy looks different for each individual depending on what they are needing from the therapeutic space. Sometimes it’s using humor to bring connection, other times it’s processing tough challenges without judgement.

In addition to my personal style, which focuses on the therapeutic relationship and storytelling, my training and additional fellowship at the University of Michigan Health System Department of Outpatient Psychiatry emphasized skills-based therapy; strategies that allow for long lasting change even after therapy has ended.
Therapy can be used to reflect, process, plan, and explore. I work with adolescents and adults to provide a safe, curious, and nonjudgmental space to not only address current stressors, but also to build and strengthen your most intentional life. We will work together to identify your individual needs, gain new insights, and practice new strategies that will support you to thrive and cultivate your truest self.

Emotional distress takes many forms: low self esteem, depression, anxiety, chronic anger, and/or relationship problems are some of the reasons people come to therapy. Some people who see me are having a difficult time with a life transition or have been unable to bounce back from a significant loss. Some have a history of being traumatized in ways that still impact them, or have problematic and unproductive ways of coping with life's difficulties.

Welcome! I believe that one of the essential ingredients of change and transformative psychotherapy is the relationship between the individual and the therapist. Feeling understood and comfortable not only helps reduce one's symptoms, encouraging self-acceptance, but also leads toward deeper work which promotes lasting change and a deeper experience of one's unique self.

Experiencing painful feelings or distress in a relationship, work, in life, perhaps along with low mood or too much tension? I am interested in your story. It is natural to feel overwhelmed at times and it is not a sign of weak character to seek help. In a safe environment, as we explore the internal conflicts and patterns that get in the way of living fully, healing and change can result. Insight can also emerge from actions taken in life - what it is that you do and how you do it - and this is also explored in therapy.

You can expect me to be interactive, honest, and caring.

I specialize in trauma, grief&loss, and relationship issues.
At its core, therapy is about supporting a life lived with awareness and choice, which is not only the best way to honor it, but also to meet the suffering that comes with it. Jung says: "I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become". In a way both are true; the family we're born into, and life's events impact us deeply, and we can learn and grow through our experiences, the good and the bad, as opposed to letting them trap or control us. We can all lead lives consciously and choicefully.

While need for human connection appears to be innate, the ability to form healthy, loving relationships is learned. Some evidence suggests that the ability to form a stable relationship starts to form in infancy, in a child's earliest experiences with a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's needs for food, care, warmth, protection, stimulation, and social contact. Such relationships are not destiny, but they are theorized to establish deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others. The end of a relationship, however, is often a source of great psychological anguish.
