You may be having difficulty with a life transition, grief and loss, issues related to adverse childhood experiences, relationship issues, or anxiety and/or depression from a source you are unable to identify. You do not have to face these issues alone, and I believe that I can help guide you to the other side of whatever struggle or pain it is that you are facing. Regardless of age, we all continue to have periods of growth, struggle, and change.

M.A.P.S is committed to meeting the needs of students, schools and the community. Our school-based and telehealth K-5 services, as well as C.H.A.T. - Confidential Help Available to Teens, both provide very experienced and qualified mental health professionals to help our clients achieve stability, health and structure for a successful school experience, and a bright future. We customize our services to meet the needs of schools, because we understand that every school is unique, and requires a service that supports the school culture as well as the individual students. We understand that students thrive when they feel their best, and that starts with good mental health. When grief, anger, addiction, identity difficulties and anxiety go untreated, it can lead to acting out, school failure and even violence. We are here to help, and it's what we love to do. We help decrease crisis events, and work with your staff to create approaches that make students feel safe and important, as they get the help that they need.

I believe in a non-judgmental, person-centered, positive approach in the counseling relationship, where the client feels comfortable enough to express their feelings and thoughts while examining factors which may be causing them pain, anxiety, or unhappiness. I also believe that individuals have the power within themselves to overcome these personal barriers to attain their full potential. My goal is to support you and give you tools to use along the way, and also in your future. There is light at the end of what may seem a dark tunnel, but together we will work to get you there.

I have a passion for working with individuals looking to escape the yo-yo dieting cycle, learn about the many negatives of diet culture, and finally find body and food acceptance. As someone who is neurodiverse, I have a deep connection to various neurodiverse communities and firmly believe in understanding neurodiversity as a natural variation rather than a “disorder”. I also draw upon principles from WPATH and stand firm in my commitment to the LGBTQIA+, HAES, and ENM/poly communities. Growing up in a rural area in the thumb of Michigan taught me about the power of community and human connection, which I always bring to sessions!
