Life comes with unique challenges—whether it’s navigating school, friendships, family dynamics, or the pressures of sports and performance. My passion is helping youth, adolescents, and athletes feel supported, understood, and equipped with tools to handle life’s ups and downs. Adults, I will work with you too! I believe therapy should be collaborative and practical—you bring your experiences, and I bring strategies and support to help you reach your goals. No matter where you are starting from, my goal is to walk alongside you as you build the skills to face challenges and move toward the future you want for yourself.

I am licensed to practice in Michigan and Tennessee. I also provide Mental Performance Consulting for athletes.
