Prenatal and postpartum therapists & psychiatrists in Troy, MI

You’ve been through enough. Now it’s time to rediscover the person you were always meant to be. I believe true healing begins when we care for the whole person—not just the problem. My goal is to provide a safe, compassionate, and judgment-free space where you can feel heard, understood, and supported. I work with individuals who are ready to heal, grow, and create meaningful change. Clients may seek counseling for anxiety, depression, trauma, or feeling stuck and uncertain about their next steps. You don’t have to navigate life’s challenges alone. I’m here to meet you where you are, listen with intention, and support you as you work toward healing, growth, and wellness. When you’re ready, I invite you to take that first step toward healing and positive change.

Before earning my Masters in Counseling, I earned a PhD in social and personality psychology. This background deeply informs how I show up as a therapist. I help clients address unresolved trauma and grief, anxiety and OCD, address relationship issues, as well as "problems of everyday living." My style is active, engaged, and practical.

Life has a way of throwing curveballs we never saw coming, and when that happens, it helps to have someone steady beside you. I create a warm, non-judgmental space where you can show up exactly as you are—no pretending to have it all figured out, no fear of being judged for where you're at right now. Together, we'll work through what you've been carrying, find your footing in the present, and start building toward a future that actually feels exciting to you.
