Individuals seek therapy for many issues. I have been afforded the opportunity to work alongside people that want help in managing Anxiety, Depression, Self-Esteem barriers and daily stress. Often times these issues are masked by deep rooted trauma, grief and abuse. Individuals need encouragement, support, feeling that they are heard and validation while on their journey to healing.

Life is constantly changing and challenging. At times, it can feel difficult to keep up. As a counselor, my goal is to help you identify ways you can tap into your strengths to better navigate these challenges. My hope is to help empower you to create lasting, meaningful change in your life. I have experience working in inpatient settings, in the child welfare/foster care system, as well as in substance use treatment centers. I am also certified as a supervisor for LLPC therapists in the state of Michigan

Although I spend a lot of time conducting psychological assessments, I truly enjoy the time I get to spend as a therapist walking through life with my clients. At one point in time or another, all of us struggle with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, relationships, big-emotions and overall ineffectiveness in our life. In therapy, we not only spend time discussing ongoing issues and current difficulties, but we also focus on themes in our lives and the ways that our thinking patterns can inhibit our ability to create the unique life that we want to live.

Life is often really tough. My goal is to provide a safe space for my clients to share their story, their struggles, their victories and their goals so they can feel less alone and also have a therapeutic partner to sort through what they'd like to understand better about themselves in order to take new steps towards wellness and growth. Being understood by a compassionate person is strengthening, and so is having a therapeutic partner to help you think about what you're thinking about and what you'd rather be focusing on.

As a queer therapist, I am extremely passionate about caring for my community in the ways this career allows. I take pride in ensuring my sessions are a safe and supportive space, and I am part of the communities I serve. I am trauma informed, sex positive, kink knowledgeable and neurodivergent affirming. I meet every client where they are at and see them as a person, not a set of symptoms to be "solved" or "fixed". I embrace the fact that healing is non-linear (and often messy!), and encourage my clients to cultivate compassion for themselves and the varied journeys that have led them to my virtual space.

It's not always easy to know where to start when life feels like it's moving too fast or standing still. You may find yourself at a fork in the road, seeking positive changes and wondering if therapy can be the tool to get you there. As a dedicated and caring therapist, my goal is to provide you with the support and guidance you need on your journey towards growth and fulfillment. I am committed to creating a safe and non-judgmental space where you can openly express yourself, be heard, and feel understood. I believe in a person-centered approach to therapy, where your own needs and goals are at the forefront of our work together.

The world can be a confusing place, especially for the youngest members of our society. I enjoy providing support for children, teenagers, and young adults by getting to know them, their interests, and their difficulties. I focus on social/emotional skills such as communicating feelings in a healthy way and practicing emotional regulation skills. In my practice, I have noticed that self-awareness and understanding provides a good foundation for growth. These tools and others are helpful for navigating problems such as anxiety, low self-esteem, anger, depression, and relationship difficulties.
