Hi! I'm a Licensed Professional Counsellor (LPC) based in Michigan. I received my master's from the Siena Heights University and have been practicing for 16 years. I help adults struggling with depression, anxiety, life stressors and help them become the best versions of themselves. Establishing a good therapeutic relationship at the start of therapy is an important part of having a good working relationship.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

As your therapist, my goal is to make you feel comfortable during our sessions and to help guide you in the therapeutic process.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

My passion is working with clients that are seeking to better their lives. I love to work with clients that are eager to improve, but don't yet have the tools needed to make this goal a reality. I try to empower my clients with self-confidence and tools to make their lives better.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I’ve been using CBT in my practice for the past 16 years. It’s helped dozens of clients challenge reoccurring thoughts and manage their anxiety. We’ll use CBT to recognize how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence each other. We’ll then use that knowledge to change your thinking patterns, which will help you lead a less anxious and stressed life.

Acceptance and commitment (ACT)

Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT therapy) is a type of mindful psychotherapy that helps you stay focused on the present moment and accept thoughts and feelings without judgment. It aims to help you move forward through difficult emotions so you can put your energy into healing instead of dwelling on the negative.

Grief Therapy

Grief is a normal response to loss, and the feeling can arise due to the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, losing your home and a whole host of other life events. Everyone grieves differently. For some, grief impacts the ability to function in daily life, while others can continue on with less interruption. Wherever you might be in your grieving process, support can be found through counseling, which can help you work through grief and heal in a healthier way. Learn more below about the different types of grief, what grief counseling entails and how you might benefit from trying it.

Mindfulness-Based Therapy

Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy is an approach to psychotherapy that uses cognitive behavioral therapy methods in conjunction with mindfulness meditative practices and similar psychological strategies.
