Emotional pain, racing thoughts, impulsivity, hopelessness, being overwhelmed are just a few of many things that people struggle with and some even accept as normal part of life. Moreover, many people are nervous to start therapy. I strive to provide a safe, non-judgmental, and empathic environment where I believe that each client is the best expert on their own lives. I listen and unconditionally accept each individual and create an integrative, unique and collaborative approach to therapy for every client. If you've considered therapy but still unsure, contact me. I am here to answer your questions.

Over the past twenty years, I have been a practicing psychotherapist dedicated to assisting individuals, couples and families lead happier, more productive, and emotionally healthy lives. Because confidentiality is so essential for psychotherapy to be effective, all clients are assured that the privacy of clinical information is protected by law. I have developed a private practice utilizing a holistic and collaborative approach with clients, emphasizing, not only emotional health, but also integrating physical and spiritual aspects of living. People are basically good, working with tools they currently have and doing the best they can. Why not add more tools?

I graduated in 2008 with my Master's Degree in Counseling from Wayne State University, with a concentration in School and Community Counseling.
