Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LMSW, C-ASWCM, CBIS, CAMF, SAP
As a counselor, therapist and medical case manager, I have grown in my understanding of the importance of the mind body connection (physical and mental health). Therefore, each person is encouraged (coached) from a person-centered strength perspective to make positive changes in their life based on their lifestyle goals.

My therapy practice is based on a person-centered and solution-focused treatment approach utilizing techniques learned and practiced from ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), and MBCT (Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy), as well as other treatment modalities requiring specifically focused therapy such as Christian Counseling.
I am passionate about helping my clients understand themselves and their layers while creating space for them to genuinely witness the many aspects of their internal world. My expertise lies in helping adolescents and young adults navigate and find healing from the impact of trauma. I integrate nervous system-informed approaches including Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy.
I am experienced in the treatment of gender identity issues, relationship with food & body, anxiety, and depression, attaining my Master’s education from the University of Michigan. As a nonbinary therapist living with a congenital disability, I am rooted in supporting folks living with disabilities and/or belonging to the LGBTQIA+ population.
With a trauma-informed & client-centered lens, I work to guide clients to compassionately observe their stories, beliefs, experiences, and bodies to build a foundation of security within themselves for a greater sense of balance. I strive to create a supportive space to heal and an environment to thrive through significant connection, humor, fun, & light.
