I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Certified Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CAADC) in the state of Michigan. I am currently providing in-person and telemental health services to individuals struggling with ongoing mental health issues including anxiety, depression, PTSD, addiction, grief, and more. I work with adolescent and adult populations and utilize both humanistic and cognitive behavioral approaches to counseling which honor an individual’s strengths, build upon existing capabilities, and encourage autonomy.

Therapy should help you get better. My goal is to help clients move through difficult situations and make changes in their lives that contribute positively to their health. While I am a certified complex trauma therapist and specialize in treating combat related PTSD, I have also helped clients struggling with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, and infidelity. As a coach, I help clients to achieve personal goals such as losing weight or managing anger. Some people are wary of seeing a therapist, but my straight forward approach and focus on finding solutions has been an attractive option for even the most hesitant clients.

I believe everyone has the strength within to overcome their challenges, but sometimes we just need a little extra support. That’s where I come in. My goal is to provide a safe, trustworthy space where we can work together to navigate issues, set goals, and make positive changes for a more fulfilling life. I use a mix of different techniques, mainly drawing from acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), solutions-focused, and cognitive behavioral theories. I understand that everyone’s journey is unique, and I respect your individual needs and perspectives..

Have you ever felt overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, anxious, or hopeless? Negative emotions may have motivated you to explore therapy. I admire your bravery for embarking on your healing/recovery journey. I will provide a safe place for you to practice emotional vulnerability and to embrace your authenticity. You can enter into this chapter of your life with goals for yourself, and together, we will cultivate them. This is a time for you to be able to explore all aspects of your life, in a safe space.

One of the most self-loving things you can do for yourself is to take the steps to understand your own story and reach towards growth and healing and I would be humbled to join you on the journey. I believe the therapeutic relationship is of utmost importance and I strive to create a foundation of trust and support with you to move toward the goals and changes you would like to make in your life. One size does not fit all, therefore I use a person-centered approach and believe in meeting you where you are first and moving forward from there.

I help people address mental health issues through a combination of highly individualized therapy and lifestyle interventions. I have extensive experience treating depression and other mood disorders, anxiety disorders, eating disorders and trauma. I help people better understand how their attitudes and behaviors are influenced by their life experience and current environment, so change is possible. My approach is highly collaborative and flexible, and I work with my clients to maximize the benefits of therapy by helping them develop supports and opportunities for growth outside scheduled sessions.

Sometimes life gives us more than we can handle by ourselves & we could use a bit of help navigating our way through it. We all have struggles as well as our own individualized higher purpose to fulfill. I'm here to help process your thoughts, feelings, & experiences so you may move forward in a healthier, more positive direction where peace & contentment can be found using a mind, body, spirit approach to healing & growth. We all deserve to live life to the fullest & I can offer you the counseling tools, resources, encouragement & support to assist you in overcoming life's obstacles & challenges encountered throughout your journey.

First off, congrats. You decided to look for counseling - a decision that takes a lot courage and a willingness to invest in yourself. I'm honored to be your partner for that journey. Being human is really hard work, and my job is to create a space where you can become the kind of human you want to be. In our work together, we'll focus less on feeling better and more on getting better at feeling, expanding your options for responding to the things you think, feel, and experience, so that you can make fulfilling, values-based decisions no matter what comes your way.

Scared? Uncertain? Feeling like no one will understand how you feel or know how to help? Do you think that even a “professional” will judge you or not understand what you’re going through? I get it… Making the decision to ask for help is hard- it takes courage. I think most of us would like to think we can deal with whatever life throws at us- until we can’t. … and the shit hits the proverbial fan. My goal is to help you confront the issue(s) standing in the way of the life you want. You don’t have to do it alone. Sometimes we all need a new perspective to consider. In the most simplistic of terms, that’s what therapy is about.
