I believe our past does not define us—it offers lessons that help shape who we want to become. Life can be overwhelming and confusing, and having support along the way is essential. As a therapist, I provide a safe, compassionate space for those ready to face challenges and stressors. My focus is your well-being. Whether you're navigating grief, anxiety, depression, substance use, life transitions, or stress, I help you build healthy coping skills, set boundaries, and access meaningful support.
I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor working virtually with teens, young adults, and adults across Michigan. I use an eclectic, person-centered approach tailored to your needs, drawing from cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and other evidence-based practices.
Life can be full of twists and turns, but you don’t have to navigate it alone. Therapy can be a powerful tool for healing and growth—and I’m here to walk with you through it.
