If you are feeling suffocated under the pressure and weight of anxiety, depression, and stress, I want to assist you in regaining an interest in life and the fullness therein. I help individuals who long to feel complete and fulfilled and who seek to better understand the meaning of self as they deal with past issues that limit their ability to do so. My goal is to assist you in overcoming issues of trauma that may have left you feeling overwhelmed, stressed, unfulfilled and incomplete. My hope is to provide a pathway to healing and to a more full and complete life. My approach is direct and relatable. As there is no singular or individual method to success in therapy, we will address the issues together as a team with a united front prepared to succeed. To address trauma related issues, I use CBT, Mindfulness, EMDR, and Client -Centered Therapy. I believe the most beautiful pictures are created from broken pieces.

You're tired of always feeling overwhelmed, on autopilot, or stuck in your head with anxiety and insecurities. Self-defeating beliefs and patterns are seriously getting in the way of your goals, work, or relationships. And maybe you also struggle with food, body image, or past events / traumas that make you wonder if you'll *ever* feel okay in your own skin. Did I just just describe you? Let's talk. I'm not a passive therapist-- I roll up my sleeves and give you tangible strategies to deal more effectively in the moment with difficult experiences, thoughts, and feelings. I help my clients learn how to be more assertive and authentic, and less focused on people-pleasing, perfectionism, approval-seeking, and the "shoulds" that weigh them down. I use EMDR, ACT, IFS, and somatic and experiential techniques to bridge the gap between head and heart, mind and body. I'm committed to helping you break through what's been blocking you from a compassionate relationship with yourself and deeper connection with your partner, family & friends. With this clarity, you're better equipped to engage your passion & purpose to contribute to the world in the ways you deeply desire.

You’re capable, intelligent, and driven — but lately anxiety, pressure, or self-doubt may feel overwhelming. Maybe you’ve always been the “high-achiever,” yet no matter how much you accomplish, it never quite feels like enough. Between academics, relationships, family expectations, and planning your future, it’s exhausting to carry so much on your own. What if you could pursue your goals without constant worry, comparison, or burnout? I specialize in working with college women navigating anxiety, perfectionism, trauma, and major life transitions. College can bring independence and opportunity — but also imposter syndrome, relationship stress, identity shifts, and unresolved experiences from the past. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based care. Together, we’ll quiet your inner critic, reduce emotional overwhelm, and build resilience that actually lasts beyond graduation. As a Licensed Professional Counselor trained in CBT, DBT, and EMDR, I provide practical tools and trauma-informed support to help you understand your patterns, regulate emotions, and heal from what’s still impacting you. Whether you’re adjusting to campus life, navigating friendships and dating, recovering from painful experiences, or feeling stuck in anxiety loops, we’ll work at a pace that feels safe and empowering. You don’t have to hold it all together alone. Therapy can be a space to breathe, reset, and reconnect with who you are — outside of grades, expectations, and pressure. Change is possible, and you deserve to feel calm, confident, and grounded in this season of life.

We pride ourselves on creating a safe environment for clients to feel comfortable being themselves and not feel judged as they go through their healing process. It takes strength to be vulnerable. We love to walk with our clients through their journey. Our therapists have over 10 years experience in the field treating trauma, sexual abuse, racial trauma, family issues, self esteem and stress as well as anxiety. We treat individuals in Michigan, Tennessee and New Jersey via telehealth so you can relax in your home or wherever you are as we tackle different issues together so you can be the best version of youself.

Right now you may be overwhelmed by spiraling thoughts and debilitating fear -- struggling to process your emotions. People see you as smart and successful, but inside you feel like you're barely hanging on. You’d like to understand yourself more and learn skills that help you feel stronger and healthier. This is the work that I do. I specialize in helping smart, caring women who struggle with anxiety learn to find more balance. Clients who’ve worked with me have reported that they understand themselves better, struggle less, and feel more at ease overall. They've learned to treat themselves with more kindness than criticism, and to shift from self-destructive to life-giving behaviors. They’ve learned to handle their emotions more effectively (especially fear, anger, and sadness), to listen to their own voice (how they feel, what they like, what they want), and to feel more like themselves. People who've worked with me in counseling have described me as gentle, down-to-earth, funny, and flexible. I am thoughtful and love to read, and to bring to my work a lot of skills and stories from varied sources. I’m also artsy and creative, and love to adapt metaphors and strategies that apply uniquely and directly to clients’ lives. As a therapist, I’m not so much interested in “fixing problems” as in coming alongside you to listen and to share honestly what stands out and what might help. I welcome people with diverse backgrounds and identities. I believe in growth and development across the lifespan and that we are *always* in the process of becoming. With nearly two decades of experience and extensive training as a therapist, I am passionate about highlighting women’s voices and stories and feelings. What I love about my work as a therapist is finding ways to help women be exactly who they already are, which I believe, paradoxically, is the path toward healing and change.

I specialize in working with individuals who suffer from anxiety, OCD, and body focused repetitive behaviors (skin-picking, hair-pulling). Additionally, I work with individuals experiencing depression, stress, perfectionism, and those wishing to improve their ability to set boundaries in interpersonal relationships. I primarily utilize cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), which is an active approach to therapy that aims to teach you skills to work toward your therapy goals. When appropriate, I incorporate exposure with response prevention (ERP) to assist individuals in gradually challenging themselves to overcome fears.
