Everybody needs somebody to talk to who is non-judgmental, trusting, and caring. I am a fully Licensed Professional Counselor in the State of Michigan and a Nationally Certified Counselor.

Being a parent, whether you are at the stage of trying to conceive or amid parenting chaos, can be both overwhelming and joyful. We face so much pressure as parents today and it can be really challenging to navigate. It can lead to feelings of worthlessness, sadness, increased fatigue, low motivation, overthinking, and difficulty sleeping. These challenges can also negatively impact partnerships, making two partners feel isolated and alone while in a relationship .

I have a professional interest and passion to counsel adolescents, adults, families, and couples using evidence-based approaches and interpersonal practices. With supporting individuals overcoming trauma, mental illness, and/or substance abuse, I've learned how to aid in promoting an individual's personal sense of resilience through mindfulness techniques, along with other interventions, eliminating barriers to treatment.

The decision to come for counseling is sometimes a difficult one, yet an important step towards change. It will be an honor for me to walk with you through this therapeutic JOURNEY that we try to keep PURE of judgments and labeling.
