You're ready for change. You want more for yourself and are set to take the next step to achieve it. As a life and leadership coach, this is where I come in. I work with clients in their quest to step into their fullest potential. Whether in their personal or professional lives, they have challenges they are striving to overcome, transitions they are working through, ideas that need clarifying, and goals they want to reach. I work with my clients in all of these arenas to help them connect with their best selves and create a pathway of significance and fulfillment in their lives.

Some people will never understand what it is like to be raised by parents who don’t see you. The pain you feel when they put everything and everyone before you. How small and invisible it made you feel when they ignore the love you have for them and choose “it” instead. The “it” could have been drugs, partners, friends, siblings, work, etc…no matter what you did they never seemed to choose you. You may have even had to take care of your parents and become a 2nd parent to your siblings. You found yourself making excuses about why they were not present, why they forgot, and then you learned to numb the pain.

Are you looking to discover the keys to unlocking hope, fulfillment, purpose or meaning? Maybe you are having a hard time coping with the effects from trauma, family conflict, stress, relationship or life transition issues? Anxiety, depression or fear may be disrupting your life and robbing you of peace. You are the expert on you, so wherever you find yourself, know that you are not alone. Step by Step Counseling is here to journey beside you to help you reach your goals with empathy, compassion and respect. I believe the therapeutic process is to be taken one step at a time and I'm so glad you have taken the first step!

At some point in our lives we all fall on hard times and face struggles that seem impossible to overcome and can leave us feeling lost. Allow me to help guide you towards the life that you want for yourself. My approach is person-centered, mindfulness-based and solution-focused, which means you lead the session and work towards goals that are meaningful to you. With 10+ yrs of experience in mental health and yoga therapy I’ll help you learn the skills you need to build and maintain your personal recovery. Therapy allows us to make a commitment not only to ourselves, but also to our loved ones. Maybe it’s time to take the first step.

Sometimes we feel stuck and need guidance and support to feel balanced and able to face challenges again. You may be experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship challenges, intimate relationship issues, or adjustment concerns. Through safe and confidential telehealth video, you set your goals and receive the right level of support and guidance to achieve them. My services are not appropriate for those with violent behaviors, personality disorders, alcohol or drug dependence, or for the sole purpose of divorce/custody cases in court.

Therapy is an opportunity for you to gain support while working through different issues, crises, and traumas as well as working towards achieving your personal goals. Together, we can really hone into what it is you are wanting for yourself and finding a path forward that best suites you. My understanding of counseling comes from holistic and trauma-informed approaches that incorporate mind, body, and spirit such as Jungian, transpersonal, somatic, mindfulness, attachment, and creative expression approaches. I also have a sandtray in my office for sandplay!

I am a licensed therapist with a Master's Degree in Social Work from the University of Michigan - Ann Arbor. I have most of my experience working with members of the LGBT community, and specialize in helping people with mood disorders.

I believe a trusting relationship between counselor and client is important. I am comfortable working with individuals from diverse cultures and lifestyles and feel being accepting, objective, respectful, and genuine are essential characteristics for working with clients. My goal for the counseling process is to help clients gain personal insight, knowledge and tools that will facilitate continued growth and development after therapy has ended. As your counselor I do not have the answers to your dilemmas, instead I function as a facilitator of the process that will assist you with discovering your own solutions.

I am here to lend you my ear in your time of need. I can help your through your pain. IRISE Counseling Services can help you manage your life and help your achieve inner peace in troubled times.

Stressed, overwhelmed, and restless minds are welcome here. Have you found yourself beginning to detach from life and relationships; unable to trust those around you, forgive those who hurt you or be your authentic self? Maybe you're tired of people telling you that you're "over analyzing things" or "being too hard on yourself", too sensitive or (gasp!) too spiritual! Meanwhile, you're constantly feeling unworthy inside: like a fraud, a failure, and falling short of the love, career, friends, and abundant life you desire. You've probably googled, "am I depressed" or "how not to be anxious". Traumatic encounters, issues in our family of origin, spiritual confusion and insecurity can leave you in an emotional tailspin.

HELLO! I understand how difficult it is to be in this space, where you not only have to find a therapist. But then you log on to this website and others and have to shift through tons of profiles, hoping to connect with the right person. I hope that my page is the last stop in your journey to find someone to not only listen to you but help support you during this difficult time.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, unfulfilled? Not enjoying your life in the way that you would like to? Do you set excessive standards for yourself and struggle emotionally when you don't reach them? Do you measure your worth in terms of what you can produce or accomplish? Is it hard to get motivated to go to work? Does it feel like your relationships with others are not fulfilling? Do your childhood wounds impact you emotionally as an adult and you want to heal? Do you struggle with your confidence and self-worth? Many times, these challenges show up as anxiety, overwhelming sadness, depression, and lack of motivation.

In my own life, I have recovered from many challenges. With the help of a Spiritual Director, I gained insight into how past experiences were negatively impacting present decisions. What I learned most is that survivors of any type of painful experience must process their pain. Processing pain requires confronting what has happened in a safe space. I understand first hand how difficult it is to trust your heart with someone else again. I certainly understand the "idea" that isolation, aggression or denial is a better option, but it is not. Proverbs 24:6 says that wise counsel helps you wage war and have victory.

Over my years of experience I have had the opportunity to work in several settings. Because of this experience I come with different insight into the issues that may be affecting you. Therapeutic support can improve your mental health for the better. I am letting you know you are not alone in the need for support. Let me help you identify, clarify, and meet your goals for better quality of life.
