  • LMSW

Welcome! I am a licensed psychotherapist trained at the University of Michigan with 5+ years of experience helping clients with issues such as stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, OCD, depression, relationship issues, & coping with life changes.

Psychotherapy can be an excellent way to better understand yourself and deal with emotional/psychological difficulties you may be experiencing. I will work with you to create an open and safe environment where you can share your thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment. I draw on various modalities, such as cognitive, psychodynamic, behavioral, and trauma-informed approaches to find the style of work that is best suited for your needs.

I would be happy to talk with you more about your goals and whether my services would be a good fit.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
