From setting boundaries, to communicating feelings, to coping with difficult situations, everyone can benefit from a supportive and growth-centered environment. I aim to provide that safe space for all of my clients. I have extensive experience working with both children and adults, both individually and in family-centered treatment. I approach therapy in a collaborative way and focus on helping my clients understand themselves, their experiences, and their goals. I want to meet you where you are at and help empower you to grow where you want to grow.

I have 30 yrs of rich experience evaluating & treating young children, birth to school age children, as well as teens. I also support adults/parents. I will complete a comprehensive evaluation which will allow you & I to look at what your child needs & how to best meet these needs. I also have experience dealing with the medical field & school systems. I can help you navigate these systems to make sure your child’s needs are successfully met. As a psychotherapist, I will support you & your child through sessions that may include individual, 1 on 1 psychotherapy, family or couples counseling. Child sessions will include play therapy.

It can be hard to keep going when you feel stuck in your life, whether it is a relationship, a job, or simply not knowing what to do with the thoughts and feelings that come into your head. You may find it hard to get through your day: losing efficiency at work, finding it difficult to sleep or relax, pushing loved ones away, or just daydreaming when there are things that you need to do. Sometimes the pressure is too much and you might be tempted to turn to alcohol, food, television, gaming, or some other way to feel and connect with someone or something. Or, perhaps, you simply just checked out.

If you're struggling with anxiety and low self worth, then I may be the perfect fit for a therapist for you. I take the proven approach of mindfulness (focusing fully on the present moment rather than stressing about the future or the past) when combating anxiety and teach self-awareness skills to help clients see their inner strength. This helps clients sustain lasting relief from anxiety symptoms, experience increased inner stillness and develop greater confidence to face life situations, set and reach bigger goals than originally thought possible. I take a mental, emotional and spiritual approach to health.

Life is known to throw some curveballs and I am passionate about helping pick up the pieces of those traumas and life stressors. I strive to create a safe, open and honest environment for all clients to share in. I work with children, adults and families with a variety of issues. I know that no single approach is the right one for every individual, and so I explore many techniques including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, mindfulness-based interventions, play therapy techniques, family therapy and more.

Are you looking for assistance with managing stress, relationships, grief, parenting, anxiety, trauma and/or depression? Or, are you interested in help with weight loss, adjustment to illness, or stopping smoking? I am a board certified Health Psychologist specializing in short-term counseling (usually 6-10 visits but could be more/less). I believe that people benefit more from short spurts of counseling over a lifetime (as needed) rather than meeting regularly for long periods of time. I give you the skills. You live life and return as needed. I offer individual, couples, and family therapy.

My ideal client is any individual or couple that is ready to actively do the work to adjust and rearrange their personal habits in order to more productively move forward in their lives. No matter the issue, counseling is built on the idea that the client is in charge of the progress by dictating the amount of energy and effort they put into the process. Showing someone possible paths is useless if they choose to not walk down it.

My goal as a therapist is to help alleviate life’s circumstances and teach you the skills to effectively navigate life. Sometimes these circumstances can cause us to feel overwhelmed, but these are not situations you have to maneuver on your own. Now more than ever it is essential to take the necessary steps to preserve your mental health. I graduated from Michigan State University with my MSW with an undergraduate background in Psychology and childhood development. My entire life I have been incredibly passionate about working with children and understanding the ins and outs of child behavior and development.

The foundation of every therapeutic relationship is built on empathy, trust and unconditional positive regard. Most often I find that my clients just want a safe person to trust who is able to kindly challenge them when needed while offering a fresh perspective to their own thinking. I am honored to afford my clients both the presence and the space they need to heal from their pain. I believe life is a journey. I believe in the presence and power of God in the healing process as well as the importance of personal choice, responsibility and perspective.
