I earned my graduate education from The University of Michigan. I am a kind, compassionate therapist dedicated to helping others. My goal is to provide an environment in which people feel comfortable and supported in order to achieve positive change in their lives. My approach is centered around helping clients identify their own goals and working together through a collaborative therapeutic process to help them meet those goals.

I am an LPC intern pursing my Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with a concentration in Forensic Counseling. I have experience with incarceration after care and court ordered services. I also have experience with children who are in foster care that may be experiencing adjustment issues and/or have experienced trauma.

Struggle is part of what it means to be human. Many of us deal with significant stress related to struggles with communication, relationships, anxiety, depression, or trauma. I am an experienced therapist who specializes in helping clients learn to cope with difficulties and challenges while exploring the historical and relational reasons behind their struggles. I specialize in working with clients who have experienced traumatic events in their lives and are looking for a way forward.

I believe that making the decision to enter into counseling is admirable. Each individual has unique experiences and unique struggles, but it is important that the individual knows that although the individual is unique, the individual is not alone. A strong therapeutic relationship between a counselor and client helps clients realize they are not alone as they explore their hurt as well as their strengths, and as they find hope. I would be humbled to create a trusting, nonjudgmental, and safe environment for you to heal and grow emotionally and spiritually, and to support you during an unprecedented time.

I strive to work alongside clients, and understand them in all aspects of their lives, to help achieve their goals. I have experience working with children, adolescents, and adults with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, trauma, ADHD, autism, and developmental delays. I believe that each client should receive an individualized approach to therapy, and I will work as a team with each client to develop personalized goals that lead to a healthier, more positive lifestyle.

It takes courage in recognizing the first step in your journey to healing. Making that initial call and asking for mental support can be daunting, but it is a journey you will continue to grow from throughout your life. I believe there must be a level of comfort and connection between therapist and client in order to feel emotionally safe and vulnerable. Together, we will work on creating a strong alliance that is built on trust, respect, and compassion. Recovery can be challenging, and may feel impossible- creating the space you need to explore your thoughts and behaviors can help you process where your feelings are coming from.

As an experienced, licensed psychologist, my role is to help people during difficult times in their lives. You might be experiencing conflict, anger, despair, sadness or simply feeling overwhelmed with daily responsibilities. I can help you to learn new, more efficient ways for managing time, stressors, relationships and emotions. My approach is supportive, with a focus on blending relief with an understanding of past and present factors impacting you and your decision-making.

Let me help you on your journey to a more peaceful and productive life. Often, unresolved childhood issues powerfully impact our adult lives in ways that can be difficult to manage. Sometimes, present day stressors affect us emotionally in ways that can impair productivity and cause conflict in important relationships. Whatever your case may be, call me. I want to help.

Your authority is in your authenticity, simply meaning the more honest, accepting, vulnerable and open you are with yourself first, is the more empowered you will be to address and heal any area of your life. We must radically accept our selves with compassion and honor. Self honor is the beginning of personal freedom. Radical self acceptance is the antecedent. I promote and empower positivity in your daily reality. Many of us struggle with societal and internal pressures and judgements. Because we judge ourselves in our minds, we find ourselves trapped often in them,limiting our potential and dishonoring our truths. I want to partner with you by helping you get out of your mind and past ways and get into your life, living in the present possibilities. My ideal client(s) are people who are willing to learn and grow within. I have no biases with religion, size, race, sexuality age and gender. It is my practice to be judgement free and accepting.

Everyday is a new challenge that may bring new struggles. These struggles can prevent us from enjoying our lives to the fullest. Each person faces their own individual mountains to climb or hurdles to jump. If you need assistance with conquering those obstacles, I can help.
