Hello! I'm a Licensed Professional Counsellor (LPC) based in Michigan. I received my Masters from Spring Arbor University. I have been practicing for 11 years. I help teenagers and young adults struggling with anxiety and self-doubt to become the best versions of themselves. I focus on the client's strengths because we all have them. I understand that sometimes in life we can get buried in the negative and we lose focus of our strengths and we can feel out of control. I want to help clients regain control of their lives.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, we'll start with introductions, then discuss specific challenges you're facing as well as what areas of life are going well. This will help me create a plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions, because a well written plan helps with growth.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I feel like my greatest strength is that I care and I am not afraid to have the uncomfortable conversations. This means I will challenge when necessary, in a caring way.

Solution Focused Brief Treatment
I use solution-focused therapy with my clients because it helps clients focus on what they can do to solve their problems. So much of life is out of our control so I think focusing on what we can control helps us find solutions.
Strength-Based
I use strength-based therapy with my clients because we all have strengths, and sometimes we need help identifying them. I utilize storytelling where the client tells their story and I ask questions to help them reframe negative responses. I challenge thought patterns that could be holding the client back by offering different perspectives.
