Are you feeling the pressure to settle down and start a family, but you aren’t sure that is what you want for your life? Are you looking to heal from past sexual trauma while also developing the insight and skills to create lasting intimate relationships? Are you someone who appears to have it all figured out on the outside but on the inside you are dealing with nagging self-doubt, anxious thoughts, and questions about the future? I provide individual and couples therapy, offering in-person and virtual sessions in Michigan. I am currently under the supervision of Dr. Joe Kort at the Center for Relationship and Sexual Health.

How I can help you
I strive to empower clients to strengthen their confidence and trust in themselves. When I work with women and their partners, my goal is to give a voice to validate each other's reality and provide empathy as well.
Typical first meeting
I know first meetings with a therapist can be uncomfortable, especially when seeking someone for support with sexual health. I start each session with letting the client know they are in charge and we can steer the conversation in whichever way they are comfortable going. I try and keep the initial meeting light and get to all the major areas of functioning, including personal, work, relationships, sex, and well-being. I encourage clients to ask me questions and be curious about their care. I make sure to check in throughout the session to make sure they are comfortable. At the end of the first session, I stress to the client that therapy needs to be beneficial for them and that finding the right therapist is crucial to therapeutic success. I work with clients to ensure we are a good fit and encourage them to speak up about any concerns they may have.
What I specialize in
I specialize in all areas of women’s health including sexual pleasure and wellness and relationships, with a particular interest in working with women who have chosen to be child-free. I also work with couples and families. I am receiving additional training from the Sexual Health Alliance in their sex and couples therapy program. I currently hold a certification in trauma-informed practice and help women go from sexual trauma to sexual health.
