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, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
