About

Starting therapy can be a big and vulnerable step, and I want to acknowledge the courage it takes to reach out. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, or relationship patterns that feel hard to break, you're not alone. I strive to create a space that feels warm, safe, and collaborative. Therapy is a relationship between equals, and I see myself as a fellow traveler - walking alongside you as we build insight, resilience, and self-compassion together. I am currently offering individual therapy to clients 12+ in Kalamazoo, MI and via telehealth. I specialize in DBT informed therapy for anxiety, depression, PTSD, personality disorders, and support regulating difficult emotions. I use mindfulness strategies, behavior chain analysis, and DBT skills to support growth and meaningful change.
