Do you feel like you are not living to your full potential? Do you feel unhappy? So many of us feel held down by stress and fear that we forget how to be happy. My desire as a therapist is to provide assistance and encouragement for exploring your personal stories as a way of coping with pain and finding meaning.
We can work together to help you build self-esteem and self-worth, positive social, emotional, and behavioral skills so that you can achieve a well-balanced, and positive life. Together, we can overcome the anxiety, shame, or depression that is holding you back and build upon your strengths to fulfill your potential, actualize your dreams, and achieve your life goals.

So many of us feel dragged down by stress and fear that we don't know how to move forward. Learning new coping and communication skills can prove to be the healing for our pain; it can connect past, future and present, forming continuity and hope. We can explore your personal stories as a way of coping with pain and finding meaning. Together we can work through important life stages and challenges.
I'm licensed in the state of Michigan with my LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor). I'm also an ATR (Art Therapist Registered) through the Art Therapy Credentials Board. I'm very passionate about counseling and art therapy, I view it as a privilege to be a part of a client's journey towards personal growth and healing. My primary areas of focus are anxiety and depression, but I have experience in many other areas. I have experience with grief & loss, adjustment disorders, life transitions, trauma, bipolar disorders, non-religious spiritual work, chronic pain, Oncology counseling & LGBTQ+ issues.
The counseling process is aimed to empower you and promote your own wellness. We will confront any concerns you may have and promote any desired positive behavioral changes that best benefit you.

Are you or a loved one navigating anxiety, trauma, or overwhelming stress? Is your child struggling emotionally or socially in ways you don’t quite understand? Are you and your partner stuck in repeating patterns or longing for deeper connection? Have you served in the military and carry experiences that are difficult to speak about or even name?
You’re not alone. Therapy can be a powerful step toward clarity, healing, and connection. I bring experience and specialized training in working with military veterans and their families. I understand the unique impact of trauma, moral injury, and post-traumatic stress, not just on the individual, but on relationships, identity, and daily life. My approach is trauma informed, compassionate, and grounded in a deep respect for each person’s lived experience.
In addition, I offer support for parents of neurodiverse children and adults, including those with autism, ADHD, and sensory differences. Parenting can feel especially isolating when your child doesn’t fit into expected molds. As both a professional and a parent with personal experience navigating these systems of care, I understand the stress, uncertainty and resilience that come with advocating for a child's needs. I help families build understanding and communication, while honoring each child’s strengths and individuality. Whether you’re seeking support for your own mental health, a relationship challenge, or trying to parent with more insight and confidence, my work is guided by empathy, evidence based practices, and a belief in your capacity for growth. Healing begins with one conversation. Healing is possible. Growth is within reach and you don’t have to go through it alone.
If you're ready to take the next step, I invite you to reach out. I’d be honored to support you on your path toward greater understanding, connection, and well being.
