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 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.

I believe life is a journey and there are times we fall, however what counts is how we pick ourselves up. I make it my mission to assist individuals to regain a purposeful direction on their journey. We all have problems that arise within our lives and we need guidance on how to deal with the existing issues. I have experience assisting clients in the area of depression, anger management, anxiety, substance abuse, trauma, teaching social emotional learning to adolescents, family reunification and family team building during the COVID-19 pandemic. My hope is that when you reach out to me to receive therapy that we will together achieve your goals that has been established for your journey toward healing.
