About

I'm so glad you are here! Reaching out for help is one of the hardest things to do and trusting a complete stranger can be even harder. I am here to hold a safe place of support for you to move through your journey in a way that is authentic to you.

My experience includes working with adolescents, teens, and adults who have significant mental illness, substance use issues, chronic pain/illnesses, are pregnant or postpartum, and/or have experienced trauma, loss, or rejection. I have a particular interest in working with people in the LGBTQIA+ community and have received an LBGTQ+-Affirming Practices Certification from OutFront in Kalamazoo, MI. I also continuously attend training to learn more about my biases and how to help those with less privilege through a journey that often has more obstacles than mine did.

I have an eclectic approach and generally find that people just want a safe place to talk with a person who can use their story to guide them to new growth. My methods of guidance include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, Strengths-Based Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing, among others. My methods are customized to fit the needs of the person. Whatever topics we cover will be up to you.

I look forward to working with you!
