Accepting Clients

I help individuals in their 20s and 30s find relief from anxiety and depression, and find more purpose, strength, and control in their life.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Ann Arbor, MI

About My Clients

My clients come from all races, sexual and faith orientations, occupations and genders. Our work together may include relationship issues, infidelity and affairs, anxiety, stress, depression, sex therapy, out of control sexual behavior and more. My approach to therapy is authentic, relational, and trust based. I am also an AASECT Certified Sex Therapist who is both comfortable and competent in sex, sexual dysfunction, BDSM and kink.

My Background and Approach

I believe people heal and grow through relationships and insight. I love working with curious clients who are interested in self-discovery. I use Internal Family Systems, Compassion-Based Mindfulness, and other evidence-based tools to help my clients navigate their process of self-exploration, resolve trauma, and accomplish their goals. I believe therapy is an opportunity to explore what is unsaid or undiscovered in our experience. I am a sex-positive therapist and I welcome members from LGBTQIA, Poly, and Kink communities My approach is rooted in a combination of Internal Family Systems (IFS) and mindfulness techniques. I also utilize aspects of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance Commitment Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. I strive to build a close relationship with my clients by being fully present, accepting, and understanding. I bring a healthy dose of humor to my sessions, as well as a balance of kindness and firmness, depending on what is called for.
