With a Master’s in Counseling from Oakland University, I specialize in helping individuals navigate challenges related to depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, life stressors and relationship struggles. I have been guiding people through life's challenges for the last 16 years. I am a parent myself and understand the stress of balancing work and families which gives me the perspective to help others.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session, I will get to know you and the reason that you have decided to take this important first step. I will make sure that you feel comfortable and address the most important things you have going on. I will leave you with at least 1-3 tools you can use between sessions to begin feeling better.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My experience in working with all different groups of people has driven me to a very compassion focused approach. I will listen to you without judgement and help you work through a problem of any magnitude.

I use compassion focused therapy to help people cultivate compassion for themselves to increase self esteem, decrease depression and help regulate emotions.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
I use Solution Focused Therapy to help people achieve goals while finding solutions to problems that they may have.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use CBT to help people make a connection between thoughts, emotions and behaviors. This allows us to work together to challenge and reframe negative thoughts.

I used mindfulness in my practice to help people become more aware of their thoughts, emotions and bodily sensations.
