About me

As a licensed therapist in Michigan, I bring over two decades of compassionate, experienced counseling to support individuals navigating complex life challenges. My practice centers on helping clients develop self-love, improve communication, and heal from past experiences. I specialize in addressing issues like social anxiety, trauma, relationship dynamics, and personal growth.

My approach is deeply empathetic and tailored to each individual's unique journey. I understand the courage it takes to seek support and am committed to creating a safe, understanding environment where clients can explore their emotions, develop resilience, and rediscover their inner strength.

I have extensive expertise in helping clients with trauma and abuse by using EMDR therapy. I have several years of experience assisting clients through mood disorders, including anxiety and depression, along with issues that are often prevalent in dysfunctional relationships and families. I offer supportive guidance for those experiencing challenges ranging from workplace stress, to serious depression, and to personal identity exploration. My therapeutic style emphasizes respect, understanding, and collaborative healing, helping clients move toward greater emotional well-being and personal empowerment.
