As an individual who struggled with alcohol addiction, depression, and anxiety, my life experiences, as well as my education and faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior of my life, have provided me with the opportunity to serve those who are struggling with life. Everyone has life struggles. I am prepared to help individuals and couples learn how to live life amidst struggles, such as depression, addiction, worry, financial stress, or marriage difficulties. I am blessed and honored to be in a position to use the gifts God has entrusted me with to serve others. My specialty area is addictions. I struggled with alcohol addiction for about 23 years. Through God's redeeming grace and an excellent education, I am well equipped to help those struggling with addiction and the anxiety, depression, worry, and fear that may or may not be attached to the addiction. My life experience with addiction has equipped me with an understanding about addiction. Not just for the individual, but for the affected family/social network as well. My education at Grand Rapids Theological Seminary has also equipped me with God's ultimate resource for our afflictions - The Word of God.

Hello & welcome! I am currently accepting new clients virtually throughout the state of Michigan. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who has a passion for working with women, adolescents, and children. I am certified in perinatal mental health (PMH-C) that specializes in perinatal mental health disorders/perinatal mood & anxiety disorders (including pregnancy, postpartum, and loss). My approach to counseling is integrated based on the client's needs with a variety of techniques including: Mindfulness, CBT, DBT, and Solution-focused. I offer a supportive & non-judgmental safe space for women & children to express themselves, explore their emotions & allow them to discover new healthy coping skills.

I am an LMSW, soccer coach, and former collegiate athlete. Formerly the Ehrenberg Family Fellow for Athletic Counseling in the University of Michigan Athletic Department. I provided mental health and athletic performance care for up to thirty Division 1 varsity student-athletes. I received my master’s degree from the University of Michigan School of Social Work in 2020. My passion is to help individuals become masters of themselves and to help them accomplish their goals. I work from a social justice lens to be culturally sensitive, utilizing strength-based, solution-focused interventions. I strive to work collaboratively toward clients’ objectives. I have worked with patients on athletic performance, injury support, self-esteem, depression, anxiety, sleep issues, relational stressors, grief/loss, trauma and suicidality. My approach is foundationally a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) framework, and I am certified in Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT). I intend to earn my certification in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). The area I am most passionate about is the study of traumatic, toxic-stress, and mind/body symptoms. I have been interested in how trauma extends beyond some of the more historic notions of PTSD and ACEs. I myself was a collegiate athlete and, through many hardships and obstacles, on and away from the field, went through my own mental health journey. After coaching youth soccer for eight years since college, it became apparent to me that we had been neglecting the mental health of athletes and, oftentimes, of youth in general. In turn, my biggest motivation became de-stigmatizing mental health problems, particularly in the world of sport, and being a spokesperson for the value of therapy.

Hello! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and I've had the privilege of working with individuals in diverse mental health settings, from emergency departments and psychiatric facilities to private practices. This experience has given me a deep understanding of the challenges people face, and I'm truly passionate about helping them find healing and growth.

I aim to create a space where you can explore and enhance your current strengths while unlocking the inner strengths that have yet to flourish. I meet each person with a tailored approach, honoring each individual's unique journey. Clients often leave sessions feeling understood, with practical tools to use in their daily lives.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stretched thin, or unsure how to manage stress, emotions, or life changes, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to navigate it by yourself.

I hold specialty certifications for substance use and have experience working with therapy professionals, individuals with concerns such as depression, anxiety, trauma, grief/loss, relationship, and career challenges. My goal as your therapist is to create a safe space, empowering you with the tools to achieve your goals. I want my clients to feel supported, encouraged, and cared for. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, motivational interviewing, humanistic, and solution-focused - a combination that allows you to feel heard and allows me to truly understand you. I am a strong believer in person-centered treatment, a collaborative process where we create a plan that meets your specific needs and desires. I know taking this first step can be intimidating; I applaud your strength and I am here to walk alongside you as you work towards change.
