I believe the purpose of counseling children is to help them empower themselves to make their own choices and have their voices be heard. I have a degree in Licensed Professional Counseling from Central Michigan University, and a bachelor's degree in psychology and child development. After graduation, I found my passion helping children and parents navigate challenges in grief and trauma. I have found that allowing children to be who they are during sessions, allows them to feel safe and secure to express their true emotions.

I enjoy working with a wide variety of clients. I believe that therapy should be highly collaborative, and that together we can work to address concerns that you bring to treatment. I value client feedback, and work to tailor my approach to each person/family to find what works best for them. This includes tailoring session frequency, therapeutic interventions, and interactional style. I want to be sure that clients feel comfortable with me. For the past 10 years I have worked with clients throughout Central Michigan including in Isabella, Midland, Gratiot, and Ogemaw Counties. Currently offering telehealth services throughout MI.

I'm passionate about helping others. I went back to school in my 40's to do just that. I’ve had years of professional experience in assisting others including being certified alcohol and drug counselor, prior to my training in mental health counseling. I'm now an LLPC and CADC and have been counseling for the past 8 years. Clients will have an opportunity to de-stress and find their best self when working with me. My style is conversational and solution focused. I work hard to alleviate any anticipated discomfort of counseling. I work with BCBS, Priority Health some Medicaid plans and private pay clients.

I have worked in the mental health field since 2019 and have a strong background in assessment as well as DBT and CBT focuses. I primarily work with people who struggle with anxiety, depression, bipolar, and BPD. For me, the focus of behavioral health treatment is balancing between acceptance and change - working hard together to embrace the things we cannot control, and problem-solve the things that we can. In addition to processing, cognitive reframing, and challenging thoughts, I place a strong value in skills-based psycho-education. So if you are looking to enhance your tool-belt of coping skills, I may be the right fit for you!

I believe it is important to embrace holistic wellness. I provide a safe non-judgmental space to work on becoming the best version of yourself. That may include recovering from trauma, depression, anxiety, working to have improved relationships, stress management or even improving confidence to get that promotion. Life is filled with challenges and I believe if you take time to heal, grieve, and honor yourself you can come through them stronger than ever. Sometimes it just takes having someone come alongside providing encouragement and practical tools to be able to grow and move forward.

I have been working in the field of Social Work/Mental Health since 2011. I am passionate about supporting individuals in learning about and processing through the ways life experiences and traumas have impacted them. I find that often times (not always) people develop symptoms related to anxiety, depression, anger & other behavioral issues because of how they have learned to respond to and survive through traumas and adverse life experiences.
