Approach to Therapy:
I bring a distinctive approach to therapy, deeply grounded in my background as an educator.
In my therapeutic practice, I draw upon my educational experience to create a safe and nurturing environment where clients can explore their inner worlds, express themselves freely, and embark on a journey of self-discovery. I use a client-centered, strengths-based approach through a lens of psychodynamic, humanistic, and systems theories. I encourage my clients’ work through several modalities, including DBT, Social Rhythm Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and CBT.

Approach to Wellness:
I am an extrovert and seek time with my family and friends as much as possible. I make musicianship a regular part of my life by ringing in a handbell choir and exploring my creative side through backyard vegetable and flower gardening. I prioritize sleep, lift weights, and meditate to keep my body and mind whole. A Detroiter at heart, I love the Wings, Tigers, Lions, and all things Detroit. I like to travel, spend time in nature (preferably near water), and read cozy mysteries.
