I am a family, children, and adolescent therapist licensed in Michigan with over 7 years of experience working as a psych counselor and school social worker. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, self-esteem, parenting problems, Anger management, Autism, and ADHD. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.
My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, client-centered focus, psychodynamic and solution focus. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

Great listening skills, great advice and a positive outlook on life & therapy.
