My therapeutic approach is grounded in both science and compassion. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Psychology and Neuroscience from Michigan State University, where I first discovered how our brains and behaviors interconnect in fascinating ways. I continued at MSU for my Master’s in Social Work, deepening my commitment to helping others navigate life’s challenges with evidence-based support.

When I’m not crafting content or diving into the latest therapy books, you’ll find me exploring new places with my husband, attempting to photograph our three cats (who have very different opinions about camera time), or planning our next adventure. There’s something about travel that reminds me of therapy: both involve stepping outside our comfort zones and discovering new perspectives.

I believe in the power of being present, finding joy in small moments (like when all three cats actually sit still for a photo – note that I do not have a pic of this yet!), and approaching both life and therapy with curiosity and compassion.

Thanks for being here. Let’s grow together.

I’m currently accepting new clients! If you’re looking for a therapist who combines evidence-based approaches with genuine warmth and understanding, I’d love to connect with you. You can schedule a session here, or feel free to share my link with anyone who might be searching for support.
