Hello, I'm a licensed Professional Counselor based in Michigan. I have 21 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with depression, stress, worry, anxiety, addiction, trauma, low motivation, self esteem, and confidence. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing to make sure you feel we are a good match. This will also help us to create a tailored plan for us to work through together in follow-up sessions.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I have developed my ability to help individuals gain insight and self-awareness, identify the root cause of current challenges and create a tailored plan that leads to measurable progress.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I do well with clients whom are eager to improve, but don't yet have the tools needed to make this goal a reality. They often struggle with experiencing and accepting their own human emotions, feel stuck, overwhelmed and anxious about their journey in life.
