I’m a licensed psychologist who has practiced across school and clinical settings. I’ve always had an interest in the relationship between educational experiences and mental health.
My career began as a school psychologist in 2007. I practiced in a variety of school districts throughout metro Detroit working with students from Grades K through 12. My move to private practice in 2017 stemmed from an interest in providing psychological services to individuals after their transition into adulthood. This transition was aided by my training and interest in understanding our developmental needs throughout the lifespan. Today I perform psychological evaluations for individuals from ages 5 to 85+ and provide individual therapy to adults who struggle with depression and anxiety. Using an integrative approach, I help clients adjust negative thought processes and behaviors that interfere with their careers, relationships, and family responsibilities.

Treatment Approach
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT) are applied to treat mood and anxiety disorders. Behavior therapy and executive functioning skills training is used to assist those who struggle with AD/HD. In addition to their effectiveness, clients are able to recognize progress in relatively short periods of time. In many cases, I may integrate these approaches to meet the various needs of a client.
