I believe in the power of empathy, collaboration, and authenticity as foundations for healing—especially within the context of trauma, identity, and lived experience. My approach is trauma-informed and rooted in the understanding that each person’s story is shaped by their unique intersections of identity, environment, and neurotype. I strive to honor neurodivergence as a natural and valuable form of human diversity, rather than something to be “fixed.”

I am committed to providing affirming, culturally responsive care for BIPOC and LGBTQ+ individuals, recognizing the impact of systemic oppression, marginalization, and minority stress on mental health. I support clients in exploring their identities, processing trauma, and cultivating self-understanding in ways that feel empowering and aligned with who they are.

My goal is to help clients build self-awareness, self-compassion, and a sense of safety within themselves. I view therapy as a collaborative journey—one that centers your autonomy, honors your experiences, and moves at your pace. Together, we can work toward greater clarity, authenticity, and connection in your life.

Creating a space that feels safe, non-judgmental, and genuinely affirming is central to my work. I strive to ensure clients feel seen, heard, and respected in all aspects of their identity and experience. I view the therapeutic relationship as a partnership grounded in trust, transparency, and mutual respect.

I hold a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Oakland University and have completed my Master of Social Work at Walden University. I bring both clinical training and a deep commitment to ongoing learning and advocacy into my work, with the goal of supporting you in a way that feels validating, empowering, and meaningful.
