As a licensed therapist in Michigan, I bring over two decades of compassionate clinical experience supporting individuals through life's complex challenges. My practice centers on helping clients navigate emotional wellness, with specialized expertise in addressing depression, anxiety, stress management, and addiction recovery.
I am deeply committed to supporting individuals through transformative life transitions, focusing on areas like self-love, personal purpose, healing from shame, and rebuilding after significant emotional experiences such as divorce or chronic health challenges. My approach honors each person's unique journey, offering empathetic guidance toward greater emotional resilience and self-understanding.
