LPC, 16 years of experience
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.
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.
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 specialize in people who are feeling anxious or depressed or struggling with a life change. I want to help people navigate those challenges and come out of this experience feeling equipped to be in charge of their lives and feelings.
I use compassion focused therapy to help people cultivate compassion for themselves to increase self esteem, decrease depression and help regulate emotions.
I use Solution Focused Therapy to help people achieve goals while finding solutions to problems that they may have.
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.
