Hello! I am so happy you are here. I believe that finding the right therapist can make all the difference. I strive to create a warm, supportive space where clients feel comfortable being themselves, sharing openly, and working toward meaningful change. Therapy is not a “one-size-fits-all” process, and I believe each person deserves an approach that is tailored to their unique needs, strengths, and goals.
I work with children (ages 8+), preteens, teens, adults, and couples. I have a particular interest in supporting clients experiencing anxiety and depression, as well as those navigating stress, relationship concerns, life transitions, and other challenges that can come with different stages of life. I also enjoy working with athletes of all levels and bring a unique perspective as a former Division I athlete myself. I have experience working in schools, inpatient, and outpatient settings, allowing me to support individuals through various challenges and stages of life.
My approach draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, and mindfulness. I tailor these approaches to each individual, with an emphasis on empathy, respect, and helping clients feel heard and empowered.
I love being able to support my clients through life’s challenges and celebrate their growth along the way. I earned my Master of Social Work from Ohio University and grew up in West Michigan.
Outside of therapy, I enjoy spending time with my family and being outdoors. I love swimming in the summer, skiing in the winter, and, as a former volleyball player, I still enjoy playing volleyball whenever I get the chance!
