“Mental strength is not the ability to stay out of the darkness, its the ability to sit present in the darkness knowing that the light will shine again.” - Anonymous. I am a limited licensed psychologist (master's level) that practices therapy under the supervision of a fully licensed psychologist (LP).

Life can definitely present us with challenges. Dealing with major changes in our lives, a chronic illness, the death of a loved one, relationship issues, or a difficult child can be emotionally draining. Psychotherapy can help to put your life back in order so that you can function and enjoy life again. I have been working with individuals and families for over 20 years. Support, guidance, empowerment, and education are key components to making positive changes in life.

I earned my Masters degree from Wayne State University's Marriage and Family Therapy Program. I have worked extensively with adults, children and adolescents, specializing in assessment and individual and group therapy, while working in the Court system for 27 years.

As a genuine, empathetic, and caring individual, my true passion is to help others and connect with people in a way that will help them reach their goals and overcome their struggles. My therapeutic approach is person-centered - I work collaboratively with clients to help them improve the quality of their lives.

I have faith in the idea that people can, and do change. In my experience, change is not always a linear process. Often, when trying to change a situation or behavior, people fall short or stumble. Being able to truly evaluate an individual's strengths and building upon those, allows for the needed empowerment to overcome our barriers. I am passionate about helping individuals to overcome various behavioral health concerns. Whether you are facing addiction, anxiety, anger issues, grief, stress, depression or trauma, I use a strengths based approach, coupled with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to build upon your inherit resiliency to affect change.

Managing the inevitable challenges and transitions of life can be difficult and overwhelming. At times, it may also feel very isolating. Fortunately, you do not have to cope with these difficulties alone. As a therapist, I believe clients have the resources and strengths within them to make meaningful, lasting changes. I see it as an opportunity and my responsibility to hold a safe, empathic space for you to explore, reflect, develop insight and coping skills, and create the growth you desire in order to live more authentically.

Has life come to a halt? Are you engulfed in a depression that you can not get out of? Are you overwhelmed with anxiety? Do you feel your marriage is in serious trouble? These are all real issues that many people face. My work with clients is to help them find Hope in the storm's of life, either external or internal. Let us work together to not just survive but thrive. No matter what the situation ,there is hope.

As a current career firefighter, I understand the door to the counseling office can be scarrier than the door leading to a dwelling fire.

There have been many shifts in our world over the past few years. People have been forced to transition multiple times and adjust to new realities that they did not plan on.
