It would be hard to argue that our lives haven't been a lot more complicated over the last few years. Whether you are a child or teen dealing with peer pressure or the stressors at school, a stay at home parent trying to manage everyones busy schedules, a working professional balancing family life and the stress a job can bring, a single or divorced parent struggling to get through each day, a young adult looking for direction in life, or part of a family trying to raise your kids in this increasingly complex world, I have extensive experience in all of these areas. I am committed to helping you work through these challenges.

I have been practicing full time since 2010; primarily focusing on working with children, teens, and families.
I enjoy working with a wide variety of clients. I believe that therapy should be highly collaborative, and that together we can work to address concerns that you bring to treatment. I value client feedback, and work to tailor my approach to each person/family to find what works best for them. This includes tailoring session frequency, therapeutic interventions, and interactional style. I want to be sure that clients feel comfortable with me. For the past 10 years I have worked with clients throughout Central Michigan including in Isabella, Midland, Gratiot, and Ogemaw Counties. Currently offering telehealth services throughout MI.

Are you experiencing a difficult time moving forward? My objective in therapy is to validate your experience as an individual, couple or family. Through practical learnings and education, I will work alongside you to provide hope and help toward healing.

I provide therapy for children, adolescents, and adults.
We can get stuck in unhealthy relational patterns with ourselves and others that impact our mood and sense of self. We fear disconnection, rejection, and loneliness. What we desire is to be heard, known, and valued by others. What I hope to provide is a space and partner to acknowledge and express our needs, understand our roles, set boundaries with others, and feel safe and secure in ourselves. Together we can foster a deeper understanding of yourself and provide tools to help cope with life's challenges.

I specialize in working with both adults and children.
I consider counseling a safe space to share struggles that we are facing in this world. Life can be hard, lonely, and overwhelming at times for all ages. Having support for yourself as you navigate through difficult feelings, situations, and decisions is what counseling provides. I believe that we all want to live at our true potential and sometimes that takes a refresh or deep look at how we are currently functioning. Life is a journey meant to be experienced with others.
