About My Clients

I have a huge passion for working with adolescents and young adults; however, I have experience with adult clients as well. I truly enjoy working with people struggling through transition, difficulties with family, and adjustment difficulties in other areas of life.

My Background and Approach

I believe the role of a therapist is that of a partner and advocate, to help you achieve your goals, health, gratitude, and joy. I have a huge passion for working with adolescents and young adults, and have experience navigating my clients through life transitions, developing healthy behaviors and relationships, and gaining confidence in themselves. I am highly experienced working with trauma, anxiety, depression, neurodivergency, and family issues. I graduated with my Masters degree in psychology from Western Michigan University and have been working as a clinical psychologist for seven years. I am trained in Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Eye-Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), positive psychology, and mindfulness. I also have experience working in bariatric care and enjoy guiding my clients through developing healthy routines. I’m so grateful to have the opportunity to get to know you!

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that there is something beautiful in being human and every human deserves unconditional positive regard, compassion, and empathy. I work to thread this into my work and my everyday life.
