I am very close to MSU campus! Every person has unique needs. Sometimes, it is helpful to have someone to solely listen, and help you manage life's stressors.

I am specifically trained in DBT- Dialectical Behavioral Treatment but also have years of training in Strength Based Training, Solution Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behav...
I work with variety of clients, but most of my clients come to me for help with relationship issues -- significant other, friend, family and work relationships. College students often come to me with issues related to roommates, gaining independence from parents, anxiety related to overwhelming school work, career choices and figuring out who they are. College years can be an amazing time of growth and opportunity, but they can also be incredibly stressful. I love to help college students naviga...

Fortitude: “strength of mind that enables a person to encounter danger or bear pain and adversity with courage.” This courage is something we all carry, but oftentimes the weight of the challenges we face can be too much to carry alone. I believe in the power of having teammates that we can call on for support- people who can help empower us to put one foot in front of the other. I strive to be a great teammate. I am passionate about empowering others, and I am intentional in my learning and ...
One of my passions about my role as a therapist is to normalize therapy, why else would I do this! I think that this is something that my clients can bring away from their sessions. (Que cliche sunshine and rainbows that can be very real when you choose therapy, a very big and hard step). Everyone needs a little support every now and then, but sometimes, events happen that make you feel like you need a little more support, or college feels a little more overwhelming that you expected. I get ...

If you want to believe these statements but are finding it difficult, I would love an opportunity to meet with you. I am a fully licensed psychologist and enjoy working with adolescents and adults with a wide range of concerns. I believe that therapy...
