Therapists in Michigan
I enjoy working with individuals struggling with chronic illness, eating disorders, weight loss, anxiety, depression, interpersonal concerns, and general life stress. I understand that it can be extremely stressful to manage emotional or physical health concerns in our fast paced, high pressure society. Throughout my training, I have admired the people I have worked with who are making transitions and want to examine themselves, their past, and their interpersonal environment to make changes that work for them.

Hi friend! Welcome! I specialize in eating disorders, trauma, and BPD. I know therapy is a vulnerable experience, and it's most important to feel heard, understood, and truly connected with your therapist. That's why I hope to create a space that is relaxing and warm, and to bring a touch of humor to help you feel at ease! I want you to know that as your therapist, I am here to work alongside you, and to be my authentic self in order to build a strong and empathetic connection with you. Together, we can explore new connections, challenge old beliefs, and navigate even the most difficult emotions with gentleness and compassion.

My specializations include anxiety, depression, trauma, self-injury ("cutting"), eating disorders, abuse survivors, and LGBT issues, including self-acceptance, coming out, spirituality and wellness.
Everyone has times in their lives when stress seems overwhelming, when ways that we use to cope just aren't working anymore, or are even making the situation worse. Even more so coming out of a pandemic. You might be sad, anxious, hurting yourself or isolating and want to change. Counseling can help you to move forward at times when you feel stuck, can help you to develop new coping skills and tools to manage life's challenges, and rediscover the strength inside you. I provide an accepting, non-judgmental, confidential environment, and a safe place to explore your thoughts and feelings with a caring, compassionate listener.
