Introduction

I work well with thoughtful, purpose-driven individuals navigating trauma, grief, life transitions, and the deep questions that can arise along the way. Whether you’re a professional seeking more meaning, or simply someone carrying more than your share, you don’t have to do it alone. In our work together, we’ll go beyond surface-level tools. While building coping skills is part of the journey, true healing often lives deeper—in the unconscious patterns that shape your emotions, your relationships, and your story. My approach is holistic, trauma-informed, and rooted in connection. I also offer ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) for those seeking a deeper path to healing and integration. This is a space for transformation, not perfection. I’ll meet you where you are, and walk beside you as you move toward greater clarity, wholeness, and peace. *Now offering walk-and-talk therapy sessions in Ann Arbor, MI*
