Teletherapy for Michigan

You wake up exhausted and dread facing the day ahead of you. Life feels heavy and everything seems like a burden. The anxiety or sadness you experience sometimes catches you unawares. It feels like you've tried every tool in your toolkit but something isn't clicking. You’ve had better days and you wish you could just make this feeling of angst go away. Trauma is a physiological response to a situation or event that overwhelms the body. As Peter Levine states “Trauma is a fact of life. It does not, however, have to be a life sentence”.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Biology and Psychology from Grand Valley State University (2012) and a Master’s Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Western Michigan University (2016).

Hello! Within my first few years of college, I finally figured out what I wanted to do as a career. I realized I wanted to help people through their own life obstacles, trauma, life stages, and more!

To me, counseling is a journey of being honest with who you are and who you want to present to the world.

It is written, "Hope is an anchor for the soul, firm and secure." A popular image of an anchor symbolizes safety and stability. Many people - maybe even you - face terrible storms in their lives: addiction, abuse, fear, loss of relationships, joblessness, loneliness and more. In response to life's storms, people turn to compulsive sexual behavior, anger, substance abuse and food to soothe themselves. These "medications" not only do not work, but create chaos in our lives. Other ways of dealing with turmoil include lying, isolation and feelings of shame, guilt and worthlessness. I offer a refuge to chart a new course.

Our practice bridges the gap between marginalized communities and the therapists best equipped to guide healing. We invite you to lean into your journey toward growth and healing by taking the first step & scheduling with us.

I strongly believe the best things in life aren’t things. In fact, I’d say it’s having peace of mind and the courage to take the first step toward change; making decisions with autonomy and living life from a place of intention and confidence rather than fear and obligation. With the amount of barriers we all face, it’s essential to find someone that will support you in finding that strength within yourself and gently push you to set your limits outside of your comfort zone.

Whether your challenges are behavioral, cognitive, or emotional, the psychodynamic style of therapy helps you get back in touch with yourself and make decisions that are right for you.

Each person has a unique life experience; the challenges they face and strengths they draw from are wholly their own. My aim as a therapist is to help clients see things from a new perspective, and tap into their strengths and resilience to meet their goals. I see each client as a person, rather than a diagnosis, and try to meet them where they are at in life’s journey. Together, we collaborate to form a person-centered treatment plan that reflects the client’s needs and goals.

I am a Licensed Social Worker in Michigan with over 15 years of clinical experience in the mental health world. I specialize in managing anxiety, depression, anger, low self esteem, grief and loss, relationships, life transitions, and trauma. Feelings can hit hard and be confusing. Trauma and/or negative experiences can alter our brain in ways that make us more vulnerable to intense, negative emotions. This can create a state of mindlessness throwing our awareness and acceptance off balance. We can become more reactive and at times dissociate from experiences, not truly enjoying life and unable to recall certain memories.
