Find a licensed online therapist in Pontiac, MI

I am a licensed professional counselor with a PhD in psychology and more than 20 years of experience in outpatient therapy. My clinical background includes working with individuals facing a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, life transitions, career challenges, grief, academic difficulties, and phobias. I have extensive experience supporting clients with obsessive-compulsive disorder, anger management issues, relationship concerns, body image challenges, and self-esteem issues. My work has also included assisting individuals coping with emotional stress, aging-related concerns, and significant health conditions. I have provided services to LGBTQIA+ clients, including adolescents and adults who are transitioning, as well as teens, adults, older adults, and individuals from both affluent and economically disadvantaged backgrounds. My therapeutic approach is eclectic and grounded, drawing from multiple evidence-based modalities to meet each person’s unique needs. I strongly believe in the value of therapeutic work outside the session. Clients can expect to engage in targeted exercises between sessions that support the goals we establish together. Treatment is collaborative, interactive, and tailored to each individual’s circumstances. I strive to create a respectful, nonjudgmental, and empowering environment where clients feel safe, accepted, and supported. I view counseling as a collaborative process that can serve as either a short-term resource or a long-term support, depending on personal needs. Taking the step to begin counseling is an important move toward greater self-awareness, and I recognize the courage it takes to face complex challenges. I am here to help whenever you are ready to talk. Let’s talk!

I have a passion to help people work through issues and concerns so they can live a healthy and well balanced life. During life transitions, changes and development, one may be presented with many challenges. These challenges may impact us as individuals as well as our family systems, peer groups, school and/or careers. Often times individuals and families can benefit from working with a therapist through these bumps in the road. My experience as a school counselor and licensed professional counselor provide me a unique and comprehensive understanding of the stress, anxiety and depression that can often occur during these transitions as well. I am dedicated to helping clients develop healthy coping skills to manage thoughts, feelings and behaviors. During the counseling process we will explore problem-solving techniques, develop decision-making skills and collaboratively create cognitive and behavioral plans. I have a Master of Arts degree (MA) in Counseling Education and a Bachelor of Science degree (BS) in Psychology. I have over ten years experience as a school counselor and academic behavior interventionist in secondary schools. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC). As an experienced counselor, I am qualified to address all academic and career needs as well as personal, social, emotional, and parental needs.

Most people face challenges in their lives and I believe sharing those difficulties with a professional counselor can be one of the best ways to overcome any obstacle. Whether the challenge is big or small, mental health therapy can help you find the answers you seek. Often, people just need to be heard and validated for their emotions or they want a sounding board off which to bounce possible decisions. Some might not want to share their thoughts and feelings with another person in their life for fear of being judged. Others may be dealing with concerns related to anxiety, depression, addiction, PTSD or women's issues. Whatever your reasons are for seeking therapy, I would like to walk with you on your journey to better mental and emotional health. My approach to therapy is person-centered, which means you have the power to find solutions that work best for you. You can expect me to listen and empower you to promote healing and change without judgement. Through a solution-focused lens, we will discover and use your strengths to accomplish your goals. In addition, I use Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) so that we can discover the relationships between your thoughts, feelings and behaviors and how these are contributing to any challenges you are facing today. My goal is to encourage you to become the best version of yourself in a judgment-free environment. On a personal note, I am a small business owner and clients from my Authentic Living Counseling practice will also use this platform. I am passionate about helping people overcome mental health and addiction issues by assisting them in achieving their personal goals. I look forward to meeting you.
