Therapist

Virtual • Auburn Hills, MI


Great to meet you! I welcome clients at any point in their journey and believe therapy is most effective when it is individualized to each person’s needs, experiences, and goals.

I decided to become a therapist because I know firsthand how meaningful therapy can be. I began therapy as a teenager, and that experience shaped my desire to support others through their own challenges. I have worked with adolescents throughout all 12 years of my career, including an internship within a school system and experience in the juvenile justice system. I also spent a year working in a secure residential treatment facility, where I developed a deeper understanding of trauma, impulse control, behavioral concerns, and the impact of adolescent development on emotional well-being.
