More About Me

I’m a temporary limited licensed psychologist, and I primarily work with adolescents, young adults, and adults. I graduated from Adrian College with a degree in philosophy and went on to earn my master’s in clinical psychology from the Michigan School of Psychology. My background in philosophy really shapes my clinical style—I’m someone who enjoys deep conversations, asking questions that make you think, and helping people find clarity through reflection.

I believe therapy is most effective when there’s mutual trust and a real connection. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe to be yourself, talk openly, and feel supported—without judgment. Whether you’re going through a big transition or just trying to understand yourself better, I’m here to help you work through whatever’s on your mind.

Some non-clinical stuff: Disc golf is my go-to hobby—it’s something I genuinely love and try to play as often as I can. Music is a huge part of my life too. I listen to pretty much every genre, and I also play piano and drums, and produce my own music. I’m into video games and, fun fact, I have four cats that keep things interesting at home.

If you’re looking for a down-to-earth, supportive space to work through life’s challenges, I’d be glad to meet you.
