About Me

I am a Limited Licensed Psychologist (LLP) with over 13 years of clinical experience and training in EMDR therapy. I work with adults, adolescents, and children experiencing anxiety, trauma and PTSD, chronic stress, grief, life transitions, relationship and attachment trauma, and the lasting effects of difficult experiences.

Sometimes you can know intellectually that an experience is over, yet your mind and body continue to react as though it is still happening. This may show up as overthinking, feeling on edge, shutting down, strong emotional reactions, avoidance, body tension, or patterns in relationships that are difficult to change. EMDR can help address the memories, beliefs, emotions, and body-based responses connected to these experiences.

I have particular experience working with relationship trauma, attachment wounds, painful or unhealthy relationship experiences, car and auto accidents, medical trauma, grief and loss, chronic stress, and major life changes. Trauma can come from a single event or from repeated experiences that affect how you see yourself, other people, and the world around you.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and thoughtfully paced. I prioritize preparation, stabilization, and readiness before EMDR reprocessing and tailor treatment to each person’s history, needs, and goals. When helpful, I also draw from CBT, mindfulness, somatic, and attachment-based approaches to support emotional regulation, coping, and changes in both thoughts and body-based stress responses.

With children and adolescents, I use developmentally informed approaches and collaborate with parents as appropriate. I aim to create a supportive space where people can work through difficult experiences without feeling rushed or pressured.

I offer in-person EMDR therapy in Bloomfield Hills and telehealth throughout Michigan. Please reach out to discuss current availability and whether we may be a good fit.
