About My Clients

Have you found yourself losing passion for a sport or thing in life that once sparked joy? Do you struggle when making or maintaining relationships with peers or partners? Have you experienced an injury or major life change that leaves you wondering, who am I? It can be difficult to feel as if you just don't really belong, and trust me you are not alone. Together, we can turn down that loud inner critic and start building a voice that actually supports you. There is strength in asking for help.

My Background and Approach

I use Person-Centered Therapy to prioritize YOU! I will truly work to hear and understand you, your feelings and experiences will be examined with compassion, and together we can work toward promoting your genuine and authentic self. I also specialize in Motivational Interviewing and together we can talk about making positive changes. Ambivalence, doubt, and uncertainty can cloud our reasons for making change. Lets talk about it, and see what may be holding you back. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is another therapeutic intervention I use. A fundamental belief under this approach is that all people are doing the best that they can. I see that you are trying your best! Together we can better understand intense emotions you feel and work toward building coping skills that lead to both acceptance and change in your life.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that every person deserves to feel seen, heard, and valued. I believe that every person is deserving of love, compassion, and kindness. Buttttttt....... if you are a Steelers or Michigan fan, some of these things may change. Woof, Woof, O-H!!!!!
