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.

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.
