Hi! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor based in Michigan since 2015. I am also a Certified Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor. I help adults of all ages manage life transitions, mood disorders, concerns about substance use and being late-diagnosed neurodivergent. I support all pathways to recovery and incorporate a harm-reduction approach when appropriate. I am ND and LGBTQIA- affirming.

Get to know me

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

During our first session we will start to get to know each other. I will ask questions to get to understand you and what you dealing with and wanting to work on. You will have the opportunity to ask questions and share any information you want to share. While there is a lot of ground to cover in a first session, I strive to keep things relaxed and conversational.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I am able to support a nonjudgmental, supportive space where you are able to explore what is holding you back from making the changes you desire and how to create a strategy to reach your goals

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

Have you recently been diagnosed or are wondering if you might be neurodivergent? Going through major life changes? Reevaluating your relationship with alcohol or other drugs? I love to support clients who are exploring these changes and looking to become more authentically themselves in a challenging world. I work best with clients who appreciate a relaxed, conversational approach to therapy that is tailored to each client's individual needs.

My treatment methods

Humanistic

A humanistic approach supports a person's autonomy and holds a belief in every person's potential. This is a holistic approach that considers all parts of a person's experience.
