I am licensed by the state of Michigan in Psychology.

Creating and holding space for folks to feel safe in, share, be authentic, be vulnerable, and heal is something I have felt called to do throughout my life. The majority of my experience has been working with individuals and groups who are LGBTQIAP+, BIPOC (including MENA), survivors of intimate partner violence, and folks who have felt that more traditional approaches or therapists labeled their distress but did not support their healing. I am an adamant believer that individuals are the experts on their own experience, and view therapy as a partnership on a journey toward healing. I utilize an eclectic therapy practice, however I predominantly have experience in Compassion Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, as well as training in Interpersonal and Social Rhythm Therapy (IPSRT), a modality specialized for folks with Bipolar Disorder. Regardless of specific tools I may be utilizing, I approach my therapy practice with an existentialist, humanistic, trauma-informed, and liberation-oriented lens.

I offer a sliding scale ($40-168) for private pay clients for psychotherapy.

I also accept the following insurance plans: Blue Cross Blue Shield, United Health Care/Optum, Priority Health, Meridian, and Michigan Medicaid.

I am licensed by the state of Michigan in Psychology and registered with Yoga Alliance as a 200-hour yoga teacher.

My passion is to help individuals in the LGBTQIAP+, ENM, Kink communities to find the root of their pain using a multimodal approach. I provide individual, group, relationship, and family therapy to adults. I specialize in LGBTQIAP+ concerns, especially gender-affirming therapy (and gender-affirming surgery letter writing), non-monogamous relationships, kink, and ADHD. I have extensive experience in working with individuals who were raised in religious cults. I also have treated clients with depression, anxiety, infertility, adoption-related issues, grief/loss, relationship concerns, including polyamorous and non-traditional relationships. I also enjoy using my yoga teacher training and personal yoga practice experience in my work.

I pull from multiple therapeutic models from: 

The 8 Limbs/Pillars of Yoga

Existential therapy which focuses on having purpose and meaning in your life with a present and future focus

Humanistic model of therapy focuses on the whole person and their potential, what motivates them and their needs with a look at the here-and-now and how that relates to their past

Spiritual model which incorporates a person(s) faith, spirituality and/or higher power(s) into their healing process.

Muscle testing with energy work

Motivational Interviewing

Cognitive Behavior Therapy

Dialectical Behavior Therapy

Family Systems Theory
