You’ve been carrying a lot emotionally - maybe for years - and it’s starting to wear on you. The anxiety won’t quiet down, the sadness feels heavier than it used to, or you’re starting to realize how past relationships and old wounds still shape how you move through the world.

Maybe you’re grieving something - or someone - and don’t know how to process it. Maybe you’ve spent years trying to make sense of narcissistic relationships that left you questioning your worth. Or maybe you’ve been the steady one, the caregiver holding it all together while quietly losing touch with your own needs.

Whether you're just beginning to understand yourself, navigating the complicated terrain of adulthood, or reflecting on life’s deeper meaning later in life, therapy can help you find clarity, calm, and connection.

I work with adolescents, adults, and older adults, including caregivers, who are ready to understand their emotional experience, move through anxiety and depression with support, and feel more at peace with themselves. You don’t have to hurt all alone - we can make sense of things together. Healing is possible, at any age.

I specialize in helping people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, weighed down by depression, or lost in the emotional fallout of narcissistic relationships. Many of the individuals I work with are navigating grief, caregiving roles, or mood challenges that make it hard to feel stable and connected in daily life.

If you’ve been holding a lot for a long time - managing everyone else’s needs, pushing through your own pain, or feeling unseen in your family or relationships. I want you to know that your experience matters.

I help people of all ages explore the deeper layers of who they are, make sense of their emotional world, and begin to feel more grounded, steady, and self-assured. Whether you’re sorting through the past or figuring out your next chapter, this is a space for you to feel understood and supported.

I have training in relational,  behavioral, and cognitive therapies. I will be trained in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) later this year.

I’ve worked in the mental health field for over two decades. I hold a Master of Science in Clinical Psychology from Eastern Michigan University (1998), and I’ve completed extensive coursework in gerontology, which has informed my work with older adults and their families.

As a single mom and sole provider, I understand firsthand the layered experiences of motherhood, empty nesting, and preparing for retirement. I’m also a sibling and guardian of a family member with special needs, which has given me a deep appreciation for the often invisible emotional needs of caregivers and family members - especially those who support others while quietly carrying their own stories.

In my practice, I integrate relational, expressive, and trauma-informed approaches to create a safe, supportive space for reflection, growth, and emotional clarity. I work especially well with those in midlife and later life, as well as with individuals exploring legacy, meaning, and selfhood beyond caregiving roles or family expectations.

My extensive professional history in theatre continues to shape my work, helping me bring creativity, curiosity, and a deep respect for the human experience into every session. When I’m not in session, you’ll likely find me outdoors with my camera and my Husky, Captain Carol Danvers - or curled up inside with a book and music.
