I hope to have clients who will be honest with me and let me help them where they are at. My clients don't have to be perfect, just willing to challenge themselves to trust the therapeutic process. The goal is to persevere and continue working on improvement, not expect perfection.
Hello! I earned my Master's in Counseling from Central Michigan University. I use cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and help people struggling with depression, anxiety, and trauma. I also provide family and couples therapy, and can provide a Christian/faith based, or secular approach.
I have worked with clients from many different backgrounds and treat everyone with dignity, respect, and care. I value relationships, and I have been told my greatest strengths are being approachable, kind, humorous, straight forward, and a good listener/ problem solver. I am confident I can help you!

I am a very approachable person and I strive to make each client feel as comfortable as possible in the therapeutic process. People have said "It feels like I am talking to a close friend." Once I get to know the client, I am able to determine the appropriate therapy for the individual and am able to shift methods as necessary.

I use an eclectic approach to therapy. We use elements of cognitive behavior therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, acceptance and commitment theory, supportive reflection, and motivational interviewing. I am a Christian and can provide counseling from that perspective, but am also able to provide secular counseling.
