The people I work with usually know what the “right things” and the “healthy things” are. They don’t understand why they don’t really enjoy their life. They are incredibly logical and feel like they should be happy, should be calm, and should be able to “figure it out”. Instead, they feel overwhelmed, uncomfortable, frustrated, powerless, disappointed, misunderstood, or exhausted. They want to be more efficient, less stressed, and able to feel good about their life. I help people reduce their worry, anxiety, or panic attacks while increasing overall satisfaction.

Finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re already carrying a lot. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker serving clients in Michigan and Indiana, and I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can show up exactly as you are. I work with adolescents, young adults, and middle-aged adults who are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, women’s issues, and other emotional or behavioral challenges. My approach is collaborative and compassionate. Together, we’ll explore what’s holding you back, build on your strengths, and develop practical tools to help you feel more confident and supported.

I believe in working to develop a therapeutic relationship where you feel connected, supported, and safe. This is a collaborative process, and I hope to be an assistant in your recovery. I understand trust is important to work through what you need for wellness, and it can take time. I have a broad range of experience working with all ages in varying capacities. I’ve worked in child welfare, homeless shelters, domestic violence, and prior to moving to private practice, I worked in community mental health. While I draw from other approaches, primary models I use are MI, CPT for PTSD, DBT, and RODBT for overcontrol.

Difficult life experiences can take away our sense of safety and make us feel detached from the world and others. Examples of these events include involvement with the foster care system, family separation, chronic illnesses, military deployments and readjustment, and sexual trauma/military sexual trauma. I have experience helping individuals and families process these traumatic events to assist them in reducing the negative effects the symptoms of trauma can have on survivors and the people that they love.

For over 27 years, I have been helping people understand and benefit from the relationship between what they think with how they feel and what they do. My focus for therapy is to help people identify workable solutions, effectively communicate their needs, and learn healthy ways to cope with life stressors. I listen, learn, and then empower people to set and achieve their goals. I encourage people to focus on their overall health, utilize their support system, assert themselves, and practice good self-care. I work with children 11+ years old and adults.

Many people come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from themselves. You may find yourself struggling with anxiety, depression, past trauma, or challenges related to substance us. It can feel daunting to make sense of these experiences or to find a path forward. Therapy can offer a supportive space to begin moving toward meaningful change.

You already know this is hard. You have tried talking, explaining, punishing, staying calm, and still end up yelling, feeling guilty, and wondering what went wrong. Your child may seem out of control, constantly whining, refusing, rejecting, or pushing boundaries while you and your partner parent completely differently.
Or maybe you are expecting a baby and already feel overwhelmed. Pregnancy and new motherhood can feel scary, and emotionally confusing. Anxiety, ambivalence, sadness, identity shifts, or relationship struggles are more common than people admit.
Right now, it feels impossible. But it’s not!

Most of us coast through life worrying about our destination, but we forget the journey is the most important! Your experiences can help shape your outlook for your present and future – whether for better or for worse. We are all human jigsaw puzzles in a way, where we are shaped by our experiences, relationships, struggles, and joys. And because of this, we can sometimes carry parts of ourselves and our experiences into our futures, where we may feel down, purposeless, or stuck in a spiral. I am here for you, to help guide you off the “beaten path” towards your journey to self-peace so that you can continue to grow and flourish!

Many of my clients have shared with me that felt they were "broken". I see my clients as hurting rather than broken and assist them in healing. The healing that can be created in therapy is available to everyone, even those looking to just do better in the future than they are doing right now.

Seeking counseling can feel daunting in the face of trying to find the right fit in a therapist. The idea of sharing your private thoughts with someone can be scary. The relationship between client and clinician is paramount in establishing the trusting and safe environment necessary for a healthy therapeutic process. I focus on strategies to manage stress, depression, anxiety, burnout, and life transitions. There is no one size fits all therapy model. I provide client-driven, strength-based, traditional talk therapy.

Using a variety of techniques, I seek to provide an environment that focuses on my client's unique experiences. Without stigma, we can work together to explore thoughts and feelings to create a space of compassionate care and personal growth through understanding and self-awareness. In the therapy space, we can safely dive below the surface to explore how past and present experiences can impact feelings and reactions in our day-to-day life.
