Laid back yet direct. Clients often say, "You remember everything and really pay attention". I strive to be authentic and not a blank slate.

I go beyond just talking, beneath the surface, to help you understand what is driving repeating patterns in your life. We will explore what works best for you (journaling, processing, reading, rehearsing) and use that to work towards change.

Address people pleasing, perfectionism, boundaries and relationships. We will help you find your voice and identify and assert your wants, needs, and preferences. We will quiet the dialogue in your head allowing you to be more present and connected.

Are new to therapy or have had not-so-great experiences in the past. Clients often tell me that my relaxed style and sense of humor make it easier for them to get beyond defense mechanisms (Humor, Deflection, Avoidance) and to the core of deep issues

It brings me fulfillment to know that I could make a positive impact in someone's life by offering empathy, guidance, and a safe space to process.

My virtual practice allows me to see clients in MI, LA, and SC all from the comfort of your home. No commute allows us to have an uninterrupted hour.

I have been a therapist since 2008 in many settings and several states. I try to be my most genuine self and that looks direct and honest with a dose of sarcasm. Pets and coffee welcome. Give virtual a try, it becomes comfortable and natural quickly.
