I have over 20 years of experience working with people who are navigating life transitions. I know that when you’re in the middle of it, it can feel all-consuming. My job is to help you see the bigger picture: to rise above your current circumstances and see your life for all of its fullness and purpose. But I’m not just trained to help you. I can help because I’ve lived through some of the same things myself. I’ve been a caretaker, have overcome seemingly insurmountable challenges, and have experienced my own mid- and late-life transitions. I “get” it because I’ve lived it, too.

I have been working contractually with Recco Richardson Consulting, Inc. as a counselor with adolescents in several Genesee County School Districts.

I have over thirty three years of experience working in the Human Service field. I work with clients who are experiencing mental health issues that encompasses services for individual, family and groups. Please contact me if you are need of assistance.

There comes a time in every person’s life when they experience hardship. Struggle and life’s difficulties are unfortunately inevitable for all of us. Fortunately, what is also true, is that we don’t have to endure those challenges on our own. Counseling can be a powerful tool when it comes to navigating life’s ups and downs. One of the greatest benefits of this work is being able to provide support and partner with you on your journey. I have earned a Bachelor’s degree in Family Life Education and Master’s degree in Counseling, both of which are from Spring Arbor University.

Is there ever a right time to ask for help? Maybe you've been thinking about therapy for months now or you recently decided to give it a try.

At some point in our lives, we will face challenges and difficulties that seem to overwhelm us and push us past our limits.

You do not have to live life feeling stuck in the past, overwhelmed by the present or fearful of what the future may bring.

Welcome! I am the founder of House of Therapy, a private mental health practice that was created with the sole purpose of serving BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ communities. As someone who lives at the intersections of those identities, I understand that having a therapist that can share and/or affirm your identities can be meaningful while navigating mental health concerns.

We encounter unforeseeable challenges in this life, and you may find yourself feeling hurt, defeated, lost and alone. You may have experienced a devastating loss, struggling with a chronic or life threatening illness, or are facing a major life transition. You can learn and implement coping skills to help improve your quality of life as well as increase confidence and self-worth. You may have recently gone through a divorce and you're having trouble moving forward. Counseling can guide you toward clarity and hope for your future.

I enjoy working with people from all walks of life, backgrounds, beliefs, and cultures. I have experience working with men, women, and children. I believe showing up authentically with ourselves and others is one of the bravest and most liberating things we can do in our lives. Therapy is a safe place to remember who we truly are and discover the power that each of us possess to create a life that we enjoy.

No one is you, and that is your superpower!... I believe every client is different, therefore every therapeutic experience is different. I am motivated to meet my clients where they are at and create a therapeutic experience tailored just for them. My approach to therapy is person-centered which puts an emphasis on the client as the expert. I believe in the importance of the therapeutic relationship and working together as a team to help my clients achieve their goals.

Are you having the same tired arguments with your partner over and over again? Do you want to learn strategies to better manage conflict and build trust within your relationships? When you feel heard and supported by your partner, conflict becomes easier to navigate. Maybe you are feeling stuck or hopeless about your future and don't know where to begin. Finding meaning and purpose in life is often an unrecognized unmet need and traveling that journey with a therapist can provide greater life satisfaction.

Accepting new clients! I am a licensed professional counselor with 15 years experience working with adolescents and adults in multiple settings. I hold the strong belief that people are perfectly imperfect. They are beautiful and spectacular but can also become stuck, unhappy, and unable to live a fulfilling life. That's where I come in as I can help you navigate these feelings and offer a path forward.

Can you pinpoint the thought that spirals into feelings of hopelessness? Can you recognize the point you start judging yourself in a conversation and start feeling down on yourself? I will teach you to become a master of catching and destroying these thoughts.

In today's world of increased demands and stressors, difficult emotions and negative thought patterns can affect both mental and physical well-being. Our history of personal trauma and behavioral disorders can condition us into thinking we cannot move beyond our experiences, leaving us frozen in place. If you are staring down that first step forward, learn the skills to manage the feelings of anxiety, anger, and sadness that hold you back from being your most resilient and accomplished self. As Maya Angelou famously wrote, "You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them."

I have always felt passionate about helping those who are hurting and consider it a privilege to work with individuals who want a better life, those who seek to find answers, and those who want a good listener and someone they can trust. It is my goal to provide the best therapeutic relationship that will allow you to feel comfortable and openly engage in therapy.
