I have been doing individual, group, and family therapy since I received my MSW degree in 2007, but I've worked in the field of social work since right out of high school. In my therapy practice, I draw from a wide variety of personal and career experiences which have taught me to hold emotional space and cultivate safety and unconditional positive regard for my clients. I began as a VISTA volunteer at a YWCA on the border of Detroit. After completing my BSW at Wayne State University I was hired into a program that provided in-home family therapy and case management for parents that were involved with CPS. Then I joined the Peace Corps and served in Kingston, Jamaica as a youth-at-risk volunteer. I completed my MSW degree at Western Michigan University after I returned to the US, and have worked in a variety of settings as a clinical therapist since then, including a Native tribe, a medium-security prison, rural schools, and within a medical clinic setting. I also teach yoga and am a reiki master, and I practice Native Tradition. My current perspective on counseling is that humanity is going through a massive evolution of consciousness. I am an empath which also informs my therapeutic approach. I enjoy blending scientific facts and ancient wisdom with storytelling when working with my clients. I live in a cottage in the woods, close to Lake Michigan, and I spend as much time in nature as possible. I care deeply about people and while I have many hobbies, mental health therapy has always been my passion. My family is full of mental illness, addiction, narcissism, and abuse and as a child I dreamed of being happy and helping others find their happiness too. I believe we all have an inner compass that can guide us. Mindfulness, CBT techniques, yoga, philosophy, art, music, and humor make up the majority of my approach with clients in an attempt to spark that connection with your inner compass.

As a therapist, my approach is contemporary and uniquely tailored to each client. Everyone has the answers within themselves and sometimes needs the proper guidance to trust their intuition and develop essential skills for life's complexities. My style is direct yet comforting and solution-focused, ideal for busy individuals who use therapy as a pitstop to reflect and reset. I have extensive experience helping individuals navigate relationship concerns and substance and behavioral addictions, as well as assisting people to become the best versions of themselves. I emphasize accountability, providing assignments to help adopt healthy habits for lifelong change. I specialize in guiding individuals and couples through the complexities of relationships using methods like the Gottman Method and Imago Therapy. I welcome all types of relationships, including kink-friendly and polyamorous dynamics. My approach focuses on helping couples create stronger connections by encouraging self-reflection and personal growth. Additionally, I support clients navigating the dating scene and those working through challenges such as infidelity, aiming to foster healthier, more fulfilling relationships. I specialize in working with clients who possess a foundational level of self-healing and are seeking to navigate challenging situations with resilience. I do not work with individuals in crisis or experiencing severe mental health symptoms, as my therapeutic approach is best suited for those prepared to engage in solution-focused strategies for personal growth. I exclusively offer live chat sessions as my chosen modality. This approach minimizes barriers to care, providing a comfortable and accessible platform for clients. Many individuals find they can express themselves more effectively in writing and better retain new mental health interventions when they read them. Are you ready to reach a new level of optimal wellness, break down mental blocks, and face challenges head-on with self-compassion and empowerment? Let's work together and make it happen!

Welcome to my therapeutic practice. Engaging in therapy is a deeply personal journey, and finding a therapist with whom you can connect and grow is essential. I believe that therapy is a unique experience for each individual, shaped by their diverse backgrounds, experiences, and needs. However, it's crucial to understand that real change can only happen if the client is willing to work towards it. A therapist is not a magician who can make everything happen without the client's active participation and commitment to the process. In my 8 years as a licensed therapist in Washington, Rhode Island and Connecticut I've come to understand the profound impact that therapy can have on one's life. Fluent in both English and Spanish, I offer bilingual services to ensure accessibility and inclusivity for all clients. Therapy has evolved from traditional models to a more person-centered approach, where the focus is on building a collaborative and trusting relationship between therapist and client. I strive to create a safe and non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences freely. Creative expression is a powerful tool in therapy, allowing for the exploration of unspoken feelings often associated with shame. Through active listening and compassionate support, I aim to help you navigate difficult topics with courage and resilience. Setting boundaries and taking responsibility for oneself are essential aspects of good mental health. My role as a therapist is to empower you to take ownership of your journey and make positive changes that align with your values and goals. It's also important to recognize that therapists come with various styles and approaches. Some may focus on cognitive-behavioral techniques, while others might use humanistic, psychodynamic, or integrative methods. Finding a therapist whose approach resonates with you is key to a successful therapeutic relationship. Ultimately, the goal of therapy is to equip you with the skills and insight needed to navigate life's challenges independently. I believe that social media often leads us to seek external guidance when the answers lie within ourselves. It's important to prioritize self-care and recognize the value of investing in your mental health. Opting into a therapeutic relationship can be life-changing, not only for yourself but also for those around you. I am committed to accompanying you on your transformative journey towards positive change and personal empowerment. I look forward to the opportunity to support you as you discover your inner strength and resilience, and I'm here to provide guidance, compassion, and encouragement every step of the way.
