I have over 28 years of experience assisting clients with trauma, substance use, depression, anxiety, and codependency. My training includes EMDR for trauma and anxiety disorders, and I also use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I am certified to work with individuals experiencing substance use issues, as well as their affected families and friends. I can also complete driver's license evaluations for the state of Michigan.
We will get to know each other. Not only will you tell me about yourself, but you can ask me questions about my style and practice. I will ask you your goals and how I can best support you to achieve those.
Clients describe me as welcoming, non-judgmental, empathic, and caring. Whether you're addressing a short-term issue or processing childhood trauma, I am here to support you through your journey of change.
I also enjoy helping clients navigate significant life changes that often lead to depression and stress. In a world filled with challenges, it's crucial to develop skills and understanding to cope with them. My aim is to prevent past experiences from hindering your present and future

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
This is your basic 'talk therapy'. Every client has parts of their life they aren't happy with and that they want to understand better. I help you gain insight into and improve those areas.
EMDR
I use EMDR to help those with major traumatic events from their past as well as any client who wants to let go of a past resentment/hurt they just can't release. This is a truly amazing and gentle technique everyone can use
Motivational Interviewing
Are you 'sort of ready' to change some habit in your life...but are not sure? This is what we use to help you move to that action phase of change.
Strength-Based
I want you to always feel that the changes you make are from your inner abilities. I am not doing the work, but helping guide you to help yourself.
