Finding a therapist that you feel truly gets you is crucial to having a meaningful and beneficial therapeutic experience. And while no therapy experience is "perfect", my goal is to help you feel comfortable and safe to be able to open up, dig deep, and get the most from your sessions. You can always expect to be heard, and to have an authentic connection and real conversation with me. My aim is for you to be able to take something from every single session- a new insight, perspective, strategy, or coping skill.

I have been in practice for over 40 years and I believe that I am successful in making most clients feel comfortable and listened to. I have extensive training in psychotherapy and my therapeutic approach is practical and supportive; I am active, compassionate and able to engage the client in the therapeutic process. I try to meet the person where they are at and tailor a therapeutic approach that meets their needs. I have found that deep and genuine emotional understanding and insight translates into real and lasting behavioral change.

As a therapist, I utilize a person-centered approach to help you reduce stress, manage your emotions, and identify long and short term goals. I use evidenced based approaches (CBT, DBT, solution focused) to offer helpful tools.

Hello, I am accepting new clients. Do you think you might be experiencing some anxiety or depression? Do you cope with chronic pain? Are you looking for support around parenting, women's issues, and/or grief? Sometimes, "life transitions" (ie: marriage, divorce, career change, adolescence to young adulthood, parenthood to grandparenthood, etc) throw some surprises at us. I can help you with these issues and other concerns you have. I grew up in Battle Creek, Belleville, and Coldwater, MI. I have lived in town and on farms. My dad was not my bio father. My stepfather was from India. I have traveled abroad.

The people I work with usually know what the “right things” and the “healthy things” are. They don’t understand why they don’t really enjoy their life. They are incredibly logical and feel like they should be happy, should be calm, and should be able to “figure it out”. Instead, they feel overwhelmed, uncomfortable, frustrated, powerless, disappointed, misunderstood, or exhausted. They want to be more efficient, less stressed, and able to feel good about their life. I help people reduce their worry, anxiety, or panic attacks while increasing overall satisfaction.

Life presents each of us with a rich tapestry of joys and sorrows, successes and failures, hills and valleys. Perhaps you have recently encountered a hardship in your life. Maybe you are surrounded with the trappings of a "successful" life, yet deep down, you still feel unhappy. You might feel pulled in all directions by the demands associated with each of your roles in life (e.g. spouse, sibling, child, co-worker, friend, etc.) You may find yourself overspending, working too much, or engaging in other self-defeating habits. Being a human being is hard work. None of us are meant to travel the complex road of life by ourselves.
