I'm available for in-person appointments in Marquette, MI and available via tele-therapy for individuals within the state of Michigan.
Life can feel like a lot. You deserve a space where you don’t have to explain everything, hold it all together, or have the answers ready. When you’ve been carrying so much for so long, and nothing else seems to help, it can be hard to know where to start.
I believe real change begins with feeling truly understood. That’s why my work is grounded in connection, compassion, and collaboration, creating a calm space where you can simply show up as you are.

Are you an expert at covering up your deepest feelings so much that those closest to you are unaware you are struggling? Is it hard for you to let people in emotionally, out of fear? Does this sometimes manifest in shame, irritability, miscommunication, anxiety, feelings of inadequacy, and inauthenticity? It rarely feels like the “right time” to navigate our most vulnerable feelings, until we start.

Trauma lives in all of us. We all carry our histories. Trauma is in our lived experiences, it is not about the traumatic event, rather about how it impacts us. Our perception of self, the aftermath on our nervous system & how it disconnects us from ourselves and others. Our brains have natural healing mechanisms. We can neurologically rewire & relearn; creating new, less destructive circuitry within the brain. Don't let your struggle become your identity. Become empowered to overcome life's toughest challenges!

Looking for a therapist that doesn't sound like a therapist?
My path here took a less direct route than most. After completing a B.A. in Psychology and a M.A. studying philosophy and religion, I spent ten years working with an underserved population in a conflict-ridden part of the Middle East. Following the unexpected departure from international work, I found myself in an unplanned career as a licensed builder. It was this "wrong turn" into the construction trades that greatly informed my current work. I saw the silent struggles of men, their incredible reluctance to reach out for help and the affect it had on their family.

FAQ - About In Person Therapy
What are the benefits of in-person therapy?
In-person therapy offers several benefits that some people find highly valuable for their mental health treatment. Being present in the same room as your therapist can create a stronger sense of connection and allow for more nuanced communication through body language. Some people may also find it easier to focus in therapy when they are in a dedicated space and away from potential distractions related to home or work; attending an in-person session provides a clear boundary between therapy time and the rest of your life. For certain therapeutic approaches, such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), exposure therapy, or somatic therapy, being in person may be particularly important, as these therapies benefit from the therapist being able to observe and respond to a client’s physical cues effectively. Additionally, some individuals simply feel more comfortable discussing sensitive or painful topics when they are face-to-face with their therapist rather than on a screen.
When should I choose in-person therapy over online therapy?
In-person therapy may be a better choice when you need a structured therapeutic environment separate from your daily life, when you find it difficult to focus or feel comfortable in an online setting, or when privacy at home is a concern. It may also be more appropriate if you are dealing with severe mental health symptoms that require close monitoring or if your therapy involves approaches that rely heavily on observing physical cues. On the other hand, if convenience, scheduling flexibility, or access to specialists outside your immediate area are priorities, online therapy may be a better fit. Many therapists offer both options, so you can also discuss with a provider which format might work best for your specific situation.
How do I find an in-person therapist?
You can use Psychology Today's therapist directory to find an in-person therapist in your area. You can search by location, insurance accepted, specialty areas, therapeutic approaches, and other criteria to narrow down providers who meet your needs. Each therapist profile includes information about their credentials, areas of expertise, and whether they offer in-person sessions. Once you have identified potential therapists, you can contact them directly through the directory to schedule an initial consultation and determine whether they are a good fit before committing to ongoing treatment. When reaching out, it can be helpful to confirm their availability for in-person appointments, their office location, and whether they accept your insurance.
