I have been fortunate to work with people in all stages across the life-span, as a counselor and life coach for 22 years. I have a B.A. in Early Childhood Education from Western Michigan University and have taught at the preschool and early elementary level. I also have training as a birth and postpartum doula. My M.A., also through WMU, is in Community Agency Counseling with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan and Arizona. I was fortunate to offer counseling for elderly residents of long-term care facilities in Branch County, MI for five years. My pronouns are she/her. Most recently I have combined my passion for helping people with my interest in multiculturalism. I am a certified diversity trainer with National Coalition Building Institute and have spent twelve years working with international high school exchange students throughout every aspect of their program experience, from placement to support throughout their program year. I was very happy to complete training through Bennett Stellar University in Neuro-Linguistic Programming and Hypnotherapy in 2013 and have found the coaching skills gained there to be a tremendous addition to my counseling background. My approach to counseling varies depending on the needs of the client and combines all aspects of my own background and training to work effectively with a diverse range of clients at all points in the life cycle. My counseling style is warm, compassionate, and interactive. I use an eclectic blend of cognitive behavioral, solution-focused, and mindfulness techniques along with Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), and hypnotherapy to help you reach your goals. Together we will explore the messages you have absorbed from the world around you and re-frame the subconscious messages you give yourself so that you can find peace, happiness, and success. I look forward to getting to know you!

Hi :) I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the State of Michigan with nine years of experience walking alongside adults through some of life’s heaviest seasons. I work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, Bipolar Disorder, ADHD, Borderline Personality Disorder, substance use concerns, family stress, self-harming behaviors, suicidal ideation, and significant trauma. While I have experience working with children and adolescents, my heart and passion are rooted in helping adults make sense of their stories, regulate their emotions, and build lives that feel steady and meaningful. My counseling style is warm, down-to-earth, and collaborative. I believe you are the expert on your own life — even if right now it doesn’t feel that way. Therapy with me is not about judgment or rigid advice; it’s about slowing down, getting curious, and building practical tools that help you feel more grounded and in control. I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based approaches, solution-focused strategies, and concrete coping skills to support emotional regulation and growth. I have additional training in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), which allow us to process trauma and intense emotions in ways that are structured, supportive, and manageable. Together, we create goals that are realistic, measurable, and aligned with the life you want. Growth takes courage. You don’t have to do it alone. I would be honored to support you in becoming your most grounded and authentic self.

I’ll help you get clear on what you want, uncover what’s holding you back, and take courageous, doable steps to create change that sticks. This isn’t about doing more.

We are all humans with human experiences and challenges. Are you finding yourself sometimes feeling misunderstood by others and feeling like you have to wear a mask to hide who you really are? Having trouble getting along with others while feeling a deep sense of loneliness. Are you feeling life is against you and not going your way. Is your past traumas/unresolved issues creeping up and interfering with your present life. Are you sick of feeling sick and tired? If so, it sounds like it’s time to focus on your overall wellbeing. I have twenty plus years of experience counseling diverse individuals, families, and couples with life hardships and my goal is to guide you to live a healed authentic life. I will assist and challenge you with developing skills and the confidence you need to live the unapologetic life you desire by having non-judgmental genuine conversations about your fears and concerns. However, I will not coddle you because I believe that enables unhealed/unhealthy thinking and behaviors. Only want clients who are serious and committed to wanting therapy; not those who are just curious or unsure about starting therapy. Otherwise, the time is now, healing is possible. IMPORTANT NOTE: I do not counsel anyone with any form of addictions. I do not have any experience with any addictions.
