About

I am licensed in Michigan with 20 + years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, parenting issues, grief and loss, transitions and adjustments, relational and communication skill building.

I enjoy working with individuals of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities to navigate the stressors of life. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. I am genuine and create a safe place to process life’s difficult moments. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.

I have an eclectic approach, utilizing various theoretical approaches and real life experience. Additionally, I am trained in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) Mindfulness Based-Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).

Please be aware that I work limited hours at this time. I have more availability on the weekends and two late nights during the week due to other professional responsibilities Monday-Friday.
