My specialty is in helping people who are feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or lonely. At some point in our lives, each of us may face transitions, conflict, or pain (past or recent), that can exhaust our personal resources. During these times we need outside support to heal or to make the changes we desire for ourselves. My focus is on assisting people in improving relationships, managing and directing emotions, and working through challenges that impact well-being and personal growth.
I am fully licensed in Michigan and Illinois as a Professional Counselor (LPC and LCPC). I have completed post-graduate training and consultation in the application of Family Systems, Psychodynamic, and Trauma informed approaches.
