About My Clients

Riding the wave of anxiety is exhausting. While it comes and goes, the constant pressure to keep it under control takes a toll. You want to open up to others, but you suffer in silence because you fear judgment or worse - rejection. People probably see you as highly successful but you never feel like you're good enough. So you push and push to be better but never feel satisfied. This is not the life you want anymore! You want to feel more at peace.

My Background and Approach

My goal in therapy is to help you accept yourself as a flawed and beautiful human being. We work on building self compassion and routines that are supportive to your mental health. I like to learn about your past and about the experiences that led you here. From there we can learn how to let go of beliefs and behaviors that are no longer serving you. I use a relational approach with a blend of cognitive theory and mindfulness. I work best with clients that are looking for a long term and supportive therapist.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that we can find peace within ourselves, we just need to slow down and pay attention. I value the simple pleasures in life and take my self care seriously. I have a history of being rigid and work every day to be more flexible. I practice yoga and meditation regularly. Outside of being a therapist, I'm married and live with my spouse in the downriver area. I have a dog (Jane) and two cats, (Pepper and Leo). I love being in nature, playing video games, board games, riding my bike and reading.
