As a therapist with a Master's in Social Work and specialized certification in alcohol and drug counseling, my passion lies in guiding and supporting you through your journey to well-being. My approach is rooted in empathy and strength-based interventions, empowering you to navigate life's complexities with confidence. Inclusivity is at the heart of my practice; I strive to create a space where every individual—regardless of background or identity—is met with respect and unwavering support. In our sessions, you'll find a welcoming and non-judgmental space where we can tackle tough subjects head-on. We'll work together to uncover personalized strategies and interventions that play to your strengths and fit into your life. The heart of our work is the therapeutic relationship. I am dedicated to building a connection where you feel genuinely seen, heard, and validated. Together, we will work toward healing and personal growth, using your strengths as a foundation for progress. Beyond my role as a therapist, I enjoy a good book and the finding a new cozy coffee shop. My love for Michigan's natural beauty and the joys of travel also enrich my life and work. If you're contemplating therapy, I invite you to reach out for an initial consultation. It's an opportunity for us to explore how we can collaboratively address your goals and navigate the challenges ahead. I look forward to the possibility of working with you.

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

Starting therapy can be a significant, sometimes overwhelming, step, and it's okay to feel uncertain as we approach our first session. This initial meeting is a chance for us to connect, understand what brings you to therapy, and set out our goals. I'm here to answer your questions and ease any concerns, aiming to create a bond of trust and comfort from the start. In a safe, supportive space free of judgment, we'll work together actively and attentively to address your needs, always valuing your input and preferences as we progress on your journey of healing and growth.

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

I truly believe that there is hope to be found even in the smallest moments, and I strive to bring that sense of optimism into every session. Whether it's celebrating small victories or exploring new possibilities, I find joy in helping my clients discover the potential for growth and change. In our work together, my goal is for you to leave each session feeling validated and empowered with actionable steps to move yourself forward. I work diligently to create a safe and supportive space where your experiences are acknowledged and honored. Ultimately, my hope is that our time together leaves you feeling inspired and motivated to embrace the possibilities for positive change in your life.
