Accepting New Clients! Please no Meridian Medicaid! I am a licensed professional counselor and art therapist. I have dedicated my career to helping traumatized children, teens and their families heal through art therapy and counseling. I have worked in various environments, from home-based work to outpatient (office) settings in counseling. If you or someone you know has a child or teenager that is struggling with mental illness and trauma, send them my way! I am confident that my eclectic approach to counseling and art therapy will help you and your children heal and grow throughout life's journey.

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. I earned master's degrees in art therapy/art education (Wayne State University, 2013) and clinical psychology (Michigan School of Psychology, 2015).

A professional therapist and so much more! When words are difficult to find, the ability to express ourselves through art is right at our fingertips. Best of all, there is an “artist” in all of us. I call it the intrinsic creative ability. Focusing on your art during counseling sessions results in more relaxation and less stress, anxiety and troubles. Consequently, your art makes room to discover the insights that heal and empower. Plus, it’s fun! Why does it work? Art therapy’s power lies in the process, not the end-product. Creating art is an enjoyable way to experience your personal power and safely visit your concerns.

I work both individually and in groups with men/boys seeking support exploring how masculine socialization relates to their problems, and cultivating healthier masculinity to heal themselves, their interpersonal relationships, and patriarchal systems of gender-based oppression in their communities. I also work with a variety of clients of different backgrounds and experiences looking for a therapist with an anti-oppressive lens, who will regard the client as the expert on their life and experiences, and see their struggles in the integrated context of the personal, cultural, and universal levels of their human experience.

I am depth oriented, person centered, and art-based therapist. I deeply trust my clients, their wisdoms, and the potentiality of our relationships. In this work, we use and engage the symptoms and experiences of anxiety, depression, insecurity, etc. to move deeper into what often lies beneath these experiences: the enigma of living. Using compassion, acceptance, kindness, courage, and creativity this enigma becomes a dynamic partner in creating the life we want and need to live.

I’ve always been asked what’s the thing you would do for free? This is it! Especially working with children.

I believe together we can journey through this thing called life, and help you become a better person from the inside out, so that you can get back to that place of wholeness and wellness. I can not wait to talk to you.

I’m so glad you have taken the necessary steps to begin your healing journey and I’m looking forward to working together. As a therapist, I have learned that a person’s greatest pain can also be their greatest source of strength. I help my clients, who include children, adults and families, to find healthy perceptions of themselves and strengthen their relationships so they can know themselves as peaceful, complete, whole and safe. I will offer and assist with psychological education on specific issues, remain solution-focused, and always listening without judgment.

We feel pain in many ways; worry, anger, confusion, and sadness. Our past has taught us how to respond to these feelings. Problems start when the way we have learned to cope is no longer working for us. My goal is to help identify thoughts, emotions, and action patterns. I promote mindfulness, art therapy, mind-body connection, and cognitive behavioral change. From there, we can collaborate to work toward your goals and find a more fulfilling way to live.

I have come to recognize that much like plants and other organic, living things, our minds require consistent care and nurturing. Like plants, we show signs of distress due to changes in environment, unmet needs or trauma. While plants may outwardly show distress with shriveled leaves, human signs of distress often start internally. They affect our thought process, level of functioning and quality of life. However, comparable to plants, humans show a great propensity towards resilience. It is shown that with a little guidance and care we can learn to adapt and even thrive in our environment.
