I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan, with over 15 years of counseling experience, including the last 6 years in this state.

My goal is to partner with those seeking support, providing a safe and supportive space to explore emotions and discover new ways forward.

First session

When you enter counseling, you can expect a safe, non-judgmental space where your thoughts and feelings are valued and respected. We will begin by exploring your concerns and identifying your strengths. This will allow us to develop a personalized plan of support.

Strengths

Through compassionate listening and using evidence-based techniques, I aim to support your personal growth and help you achieve greater well-being and fulfillment in your life.

Ideal clients

I offer compassionate and comprehensive support for adolescents, adults, and couples dealing with stress, anxiety, and life's many challenges. My services are tailored to those struggling with relationship difficulties, self-esteem issues, or navigating significant life transitions. In a safe and understanding environment, I work alongside my clients to help them build resilience and gain clarity on their journey forward.

Treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

For more than 10 years I have used Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as it is a versatile therapeutic approach that effectively addresses both anxiety and depression through specific techniques tailored to each condition by targeting both the cognitive and behavioral factors that contribute to these conditions. By changing how individuals think about and respond to their thoughts and emotions, CBT helps them regain control, reduce symptoms, and improve their overall well-being.

The full body breathing reset technique was very helpful. Also the challenging questions to get both of us to open up is a great thing.

I felt like she had a warm glow about her presence, and it was welcoming to me for some reason. After our first meeting today, I am glad I picked her to work through my journey of healing. She is absolutely welcoming, warm and such a safe space. She is open minded and is able to connect with you in ways you don't expect. I appreciate that very much.
