Socrates said, “The unexamined life is not worth living.” It can certainly feel that way when we are overwhelmed or stuck. When Socrates felt stuck, he sought guidance from the Oracle at Delphi, who told him: Know thyself. That’s the heart of therapy. There’s a small aim—just showing up, staying curious, doing the work. And there’s a big aim: self-knowledge and self-actualization. That means getting clear on what actually matters, and letting go of the old patterns, baggage, and noise. Think of me as equal parts Socrates and Forest Gump: examining life, on a road toward the horizon - long, strange trip. If interested, come along.
My background is a patchwork of philosophy, mental health, spirituality, the humanities, and travel—all of which shape how I show up for clients (and overfills my bookshelf). In session, I blend ACT, MI, IFS, and humanistic, strengths-based tools—with a focus on helping you reconnect to what matters and build a life that feels authentic and alive.
Clients appreciate my warm, down-to-earth, and sometimes lightly irreverent style. If you're ready to get real, reconnect with your own wisdom, and take meaningful steps (maybe a laugh along the way), I'm ready when you are.
Bear River Health Outreach offers therapy, groups, IOP, and residential care across Michigan.
