You may trust that I will be authentic and genuine with you from the beginning as this is an important aspect of therapy. Making that call and keeping that first appointment can be such a hard thing to do, you deserve that honesty and integrity from the start. Over the last 23 years I have gained experience as a social worker. First as a case manager with my Bachelors in Social Work degree from Western Michigan University in 2000. Next as a therapist after earning my Masters of Social Work degree from Grand Valley State University in May 2005. Since that time, I have had the opportunity to further my skills in Michigan, North Carolina and Maine. I have had the privilege of gaining extensive experience working with individuals and groups (teens and adults, active duty service men and women and their families, veterans and civilians). Some client concerns include those struggling with: crisis response, depression, anxiety, trauma, life changes, stress management, grief, loss, gender identity, Gender Identity, LGBTQ+ concerns, sexuality, self-care concerns, and other life disruptions or stress.

I believe that everyone deserves to be mentally well, and that counseling can be an important part of this journey. I strive to create a safe space where you can engage with vulnerability and self-reflection. A core tenant of my practice is that you are the expert of your own life. This is why I emphasize collaboration and self-determination in the therapeutic relationship and encourage you to explore your own values, strengths and goals in therapy. I enjoy helping clients navigate the many challenges and transitions of life, and strive to be part of the system that supports their wellness and joy. My hope is that through the counseling process you can better tackle the challenges that come your way, learn new ways of coping, and take steps towards meeting your unique goals. My areas of focus include anxiety, stress, compulsive over-eating, body image, perinatal issues, and life transition concerns.

What traits must your future counselor possess? Should they make you feel heard and validated? Give you tools to succeed? If you said yes, I’m here to help! Life often throws a wrench in our plans, especially when it comes to our relationships, employment, health, finances, and the list goes on. And that’s on top of a global pandemic! It’s no wonder why depression, anxiety, and substance use are more prevalent than ever. As a cancer survivor, I understand how quickly it can feel like the walls are closing in. However, I’ve also learned ways to break free. It’s a primary reason I became a therapist: so I can help others do the same. My specialties including CBT and DBT, which focus on changing thinking and behaviors. This is achieved by building custom action plans for each of my clients. No cookie-cutter plans here! Popular areas to focus on include depression & anxiety, relationships, negative thinking, grieving, and chronic illness. We'll work on whatever is important to you. Making life-changes can be intimidating, but you won’t be going through this alone. I’ll give you hope and support, while simultaneously helping take some of life’s weight off your shoulders. I recognize committing to a full session can be daunting, which is why I offer free 15-minute phone or video consultations. Let's chat - send me a message today!
