Asking for help can be hard, but many challenges are easier to face with support and assistance. I offer a comfortable, safe space to talk. I believe that therapy is a collaborative process and should be tailored for each client, rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. I will listen carefully and share my thoughts on how we can best approach your problem. We will work together to devise strategies and meet your goals. I enjoy working with students. I worked for the University of Michigan's Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) for 7 years. I am a friendly and engaged therapist. I approach my work with dedication, compassion, and a sense of humor. I care deeply about my clients and feel honored that I get to help them overcome challenges, cope with difficult situations, and heal past wounds. I look forward to collaborating with you.
I specialize in working with sexuality, gender, and relationships through an anti oppressive attachment based lens. I am trained to work with couples/relationships and see many 2SLGBTQIA+ and non monogamous/polyamorous relationships. I provide Trans, Non-Binary, and Queer affirmative care. My training is in Marriage and Family Therapy, which basically means I have extensive training in working with more than one person in the room as well as considering relational context even when I am seeing an individual person. I practice relationship/marriage/premarital therapy through an attachment based lens and am trained in The Developmental Model of couples work. I have also completed Gottman Level 1 and incorporate that training when useful. I am trained in Brainspotting and find the clients seeking to process difficult experiences and/or move through areas in which they feel stuck benefit from this modality. I provide sex therapy through sex and pleasure positive lenses.

Well-being looks different for every person, so my approach to working with clients is focused on identifying what living a full and meaningful life might uniquely look like for you and partnering with you to get there together. This means embracing unique and personalized approaches to self-care and coping with life’s stressors, rather than listening to what media, culture, or other people with authority might tell us this should look like. As a therapist, I believe in taking a client-centered, strengths-focused approach that involves walking side by side with clients and recognizing them as the expert on their own health and wellness. As such, I allow clients to take the “driver’s seat” in navigating our work where they feel they need to. As the therapist, I might put my hand on the figurative steering wheel to “course correct” or offer some navigation assistance as needed, but my role is in supporting you where YOU want to take your journey, not where I think you should. Together, we’ll explore patterns in your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and where these might come from, identify parts that might not be serving you, and work to build a life worth living. Through my interdisciplinary background and training in social work, public health, and psychology, I’ve focused on the impact of our surrounding communities, systems, and policies on our wellbeing. I don’t believe that we can talk about you without talking about your environment and the way that the world around us contributes to your mental health, both for better and for worse. My background prior to joining Therapy Today has been focused on supporting the the mental health and wellbeing of college students, young adults, and student athletes. I’m passionate about working with youth and young adults, as I view emerging adulthood as a critical time for developing health promoting habits to carry with you into the future. In addition to my work at Therapy Today, I work on a public health initiative aimed at expanding access to mental health services for Michigan community college students. Outside of work, I love to go on walks, spend time in nature, and enjoy time with my friends, family, and my dog. I am a proud first generation college student and member of the LGBTQIA+ community.
Stress and anxiety create a different impact on everyone and taking steps to cope can, at times, be difficult on your own. People who are motivated to begin mental health treatment are some of the strongest people out there, even when it can feel overwhelming and scary to take that step. I have always felt a pull to help others in understanding your feelings and behaviors and in how to navigate your world in stressful situations. I work primarily with clients who are struggling with anxiety, stress, life transitions, grief/loss, and depression and can’t wait to begin doing some amazing, meaningful work with you! I have a desire to help others feel heard and my biggest goal is to lift people up who are struggling. I love to see the progress you can make with your goals and mental well-being and I want to be the person that you can count on for support! I intend to do this by listening, working with you, & meeting you where you’re at, as opposed to only giving advice. I’m so happy you’re deciding to take this step in beginning your mental health journey. Starting therapy can be an overwhelming and exciting experience, and I hope that we can work together towards any goals you may have.
I am a Limited Licensed Professional Counselor (LLPC) practicing in Michigan at Deepwater Counseling. I completed a Bachelor of Science in Public Relations from Eastern Michigan University and a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Eastern Michigan University, a CACREP-accredited university in southeastern Michigan. I spent a few years in the public relations field, before deciding to pursue counseling. I have interned counseling at Deepwater Counseling for a year prior to making this my professional home. Both my academic and professional career have given me training in working with clients who have depression, anxiety, couples, family, and interpersonal relationship issues, stress related issues, anger issues, crisis counseling, grief counseling, life transitions, and a variety of other areas of counseling. I work with clients of all backgrounds, all religions, and communities. My approach to counseling is to meet my clients where they are, allowing for an opportunity to collaborate with my clients in determining how best to approach their needs. I simply ask that clients go into therapy with an open mind and are open to the process. This allows for guided conversation, with an empathetic, third-party in a completely safe, judgment-free, and collaborative environment. My goal is to provide an environment where you feel comfortable and supported. I have worked with clients both in-person and virtually. We will work on identifying goals that are important to you and help you explore ways you can achieve those goals. If at any time, you find that this therapeutic process is not meeting your needs, you have a right to request a change in direction or discontinue treatment. I look forward to meeting and working with you.
I am currently accepting new clients and will get back to you within 48 hours. You can schedule an appointment with me on my website, by telephone, or by email.

This will take you to a calendar of my available appointment times where you can request one of those times. I am currently licensed in Michigan, South Carolina, Texas and Pennsylvania, and can see clients virtually in any of these states. I live in Michigan and can see clients in person or virtually in Michigan. My particular focus is on working with young adults and college students. I've worked with people on a variety of issues including unresolved trauma, relationship issues, life transitions, depression and anxiety just to name a few. I strive to create a safe and comfortable environment in which clients feel free to be themselves. I believe that growth and healing begins when people feel seen, accepted, and understood, and so I take the time to get to know you and understand the needs and issues that are unique to you.

I believe everyone deserves a nonjudgmental space in their life where they are fully seen, heard, and supported; where individuals of all identities can fully show up as themselves. I am deeply committed to providing you with that space. I create an environment of safety, warmth, curiosity, and openness in which my clients are able to explore the issues and harmful patterns causing them distress and discover healthy ways to live and thrive. I would be a good fit for anyone looking to gain coping skills, manage emotional and interpersonal stress, build self-esteem, and reduce mental health symptoms that are impacting their life. I utilize a collaborative process to help my clients learn important coping skills and tools to create a more fulfilling life. My approach is individualized, trauma informed and client-centered. I use techniques from DBT, CBT and ACT to support clients facing depression, anxiety, emotional dysregulation, and past trauma. I help clients heal, set goals, develop skills, identify values, and manage difficult emotions and situations. I am deeply committed to providing you with an environment of safety, warmth, curiosity, and openness in which my clients are able to explore the issues and harmful patterns causing them distress and discover healthy ways to live and thrive. I operate from a core belief: you are the expert of your own experience. I deeply value and appreciate your innate wisdom and enjoy utilizing a collaborative approach to therapy. It is my job to cultivate a space where you can fully show up as yourself, regardless of any identities you hold. I will see you as a whole person, with lived experience that informs who you are and how you operate through the world, including the systems that you live within. I am an LGBTQIA+ ally and look at things through a culturally responsive lens. Expect someone laidback, collaborative, empathetic, & who will get to know you & form a genuine relationship with you. In my free time, I enjoy playing video and tabletop games as well as relaxing with my 3 cats. For a free consultation or to schedule an appointment with me, please reach out to me. I look forward to hearing from you soon!

The transition to undergraduate or graduate school can be a very vulnerable time, and many experience depression, anxiety, and anger along the way.

Overwhelmed. Anxious. Depressed. Stuck. These feelings can act as signals, indicating need for change. Coping skills used in the past may no longer serve, yet are ingrained, often unconscious and difficult to change. People often seek therapy when life has become painful and unmanageable. I like to work with individuals who are ready to explore and challenge limiting patterns- to discover and commit to a healthier way of being. My role as your therapist is to provide a safe, non-judgmental space where progress can be made and to provide and guide you with the tools to make that possible. Above all, I value your perspectives and experiences and believe a strong therapeutic alliance is key to bringing about positive change. I believe everyone can reach a fuller understanding of themselves and that healing is always possible.
