About
Finding someone to trust and confide in with life's demands can be challenging. To put yourself out there and say, "Here are my problems," can be intimidating and scary. It is my hope to create an environment where you will feel safe, free from judgement, and better prepared to explore and improve your life. My goal is to help you on your journey to self discovery, growth and happiness. You are your greatest teacher and together my hope is for us to achieve your greatest potential. I am open to working with clients of all ages, ethnicities, religious beliefs, and sexual orientations.
The wealth of my experience as a clinician has been working with children and adolescents, particularly children on the Autism Spectrum. I am a board member of the Autism Support Center of Southwest Michigan. I also enjoy working with couples and family dynamics. I provide couples, family, individual counseling, and group therapy.
I am available Monday through Friday 8am to 5pm via phone or anytime via email for questions or concerns you may have. Please do not hesitate to let me know if there are any other resources or ways in which I can help you reach your goals.
