I specialize in working with youth and adults, including BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ communities, who are navigating complex emotions and challenges with grief, anxiety, depression, identity, and chronic illness and pain. As a Registered Art Therapist and Counselor, I offer a unique, holistic approach that blends Art Therapy and counseling for healing and growth through creative expression. Together, we'll create a safe and affirming space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences without judgment. In our sessions, you’ll find a nurturing space that supports you in processing emotions and thoughts around difficult experiences. We’ll work together to help you discover new ways to express yourself and gain valuable insights. I'll support you in building skills to handle uncertainty and grow compassion towards yourself and your experiences. Art Therapy is a practice I utilize with clients to help process difficult experiences and emotions. Art therapy involves the creative process of art-making to help clients better understand their cognitive thoughts, emotions, and experiences. I consider the use of art therapy with counseling to enhance self-exploration, reflection, and personal insight. All my clients have the option to include Art Therapy in our work if they would like, no prior experience with art-making is necessary. If you're curious about how I can help support you with your specific therapeutic needs, feel free to reach out for a free 20-minute phone consultation. I’m happy to answer any questions you may have about getting started! No matter where you are in your journey, I'm here to support you in blooming fully into the person you aspire to become.

“Always remember you are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, smarter than you think, and loved more than you will ever know.” -A.A. Milne Whether you are struggling with a life transition, family or romantic relationship issue or overwhelmed with stress from work or school, I want you to know that I will do my best to hold a safe and judgment-free space for you to explore your thoughts and feelings. I will help you look deeper into yourself on your journey of positive change, personal growth, and self-improvement. Let’s work together to figure out why you are not as happy as you would like to be and work towards living up to your full potential, for yourself, and the people in your life. As your therapist, it is important to me to use a humanistic, trauma-informed, holistic approach with you. I will see you as a whole person first and not defined by any clinical diagnosis. My approach is focused on each individual’s unique strengths to best navigate working together towards accomplishing goals. Most importantly, you are incredibly strong for taking this initial step of seeking support to start taking back control of your life. I look forward to holding a respectful safe space for you to grow, heal, and start living the happier and healthier life you desire and deserve. I graduated from Kalamazoo College with a B.A. in Psychology with a minor in Studio Art while being a collegiate student athlete. I earned my Master’s in Social Work from the University of Michigan with a concentration in Interpersonal Practice in Integrated Health, Mental Health, and Substance Abuse. I worked at a mental health and substance use sober living and outpatient clinic as a case manager, led female group therapy, and assisted with the yoga group therapy sessions. I then worked as a psychotherapist at a mental health private practice providing therapy to a variety of population groups and individuals of all ages before joining the amazing community of therapists at Therapy Today, Ann Arbor. My education, training, and unique life experiences have provided me the skill set to utilize a variety of evidence-based modalities including psychodynamic therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and other evidence-based strategies to best work with clients towards change and growth. It is important to me to use a trauma-informed holistic approach with clients by seeing each client as a whole person first and how the make up of their life experiences, environment influences, and family genealogy impact a person’s mental and physical health.

Is life not the way it's supposed to be? Do things seem broken? Maybe it’s anxiety, a relationship problem, or emotional pain from long ago. Maybe it’s something that “just doesn’t feel right”, or perhaps you just need extra support for a major life decision or situation. We are here to listen and to help provide the confidence and guidance you need to change negative behavior patterns and begin taking steps in the right direction. As professional therapists, our role is to guide you as you take steps towards positive life changes, healing, and a healthy mind. Together we’ll work to uncover and better understand your story, its challenges and the day-to-day stressors that detract from your life and focus, and will identify practice and help you build habits that will make you stronger.

I've learned over my years in practice that every person carries a deep inner resilience and an ability to heal. Sometimes, they just need a little support in uncovering it. My role is to walk alongside you, offering a space that is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in trust. I specialize in trauma therapy, as well as having experience supporting clients through a range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, and bipolar disorder. I work with folks from all walks of life and deeply value the richness that diversity brings. All identities and backgrounds are welcome and affirmed here. My approach is neurodiversity-affirming, mindfulness oriented, and grounded in social and systemic awareness. I use a variety of evidenced based modalities, including EMDR, DBT, and ACT to support my clients in reaching their desired goals, while recognizing that a trusting, safe relationship between client and therapist is at the core of success. The process of choosing a therapist can be daunting and feel vulnerable. I offer brief consultation calls to help answer questions and determine if you would like to work together. If you feel I would be a good fit to walk alongside you in this journey, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Establishing a strong working relationship is essential to positive therapeutic outcomes. I firmly believe that therapy works best when you match well on a personal level. Adjusting to college is hard. There's a lot of pressure to do well academically, socially, personally...and it can be helpful to have an unbiased person to vent to and talk about what you're struggling with. I specialize in treating individuals struggling with primary and secondary trauma. I use a multifaceted approach to therapy to meet my clients where they are and to suit their individual needs, whether trauma is a main focus or not.
