Together, we'll work to understand your responses, reduce overwhelm, and build stability before processing difficult experiences. We'll focus on creating change that feels sustainable, helping you feel more regulated, connected, and in control of your day-to-day life.

My clients describe me as compassionate, calming, and easy to talk to. They often share that they feel genuinely understood, not judged, and supported in a way that feels both validating and practical - especially when working through trauma or long-standing patterns.

I became a therapist because I've seen how trauma, especially family, relational, war, and intergenerational trauma, shapes how people feel, cope, and connect. I wanted to help people make sense of their responses and heal in a way that feels safe, steady, and deeply human.

I'm a Michigan-based licensed clinical psychologist offering trauma-focued therapy for teens and adults. My practice is grounded in evidence-based care, compassion, and collaboration.
