About me

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) meeting with clients virtually in the state of Michigan. I am honored to work with clients ranging from age 12 to adults. I utilize a Person-Centered approach at the core of my work with clients. I also use these techniques and other approaches: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution Focused, Mindfulness, and Polyvagal.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

The first session is all about getting to know each other and building an understanding of the counseling process. I try to create a safe and comfortable environment where we will discuss the counseling process then what the reason for counseling is.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I work to create a safe and comfortable atmosphere through being empathetic, authentic, and honoring the strengths of clients. I have been working with teens to adults for over 5 years and continue to grow in my knowledge.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I work with clients struggling with anxiety, school or work stress, communication concerns, depression, trauma, academic struggles, bullying, family tension, and big life transitions.
