Are you someone who experienced trauma, and now struggles with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, trust, and community? My passion is working with survivors of trauma, including survivors who have experienced intimate partner violence/domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking. I have extensive training and experience working with survivors aside from clinical work, including volunteering as a victim advocate on a college campus, being a SANE victim advocate, and working in two domestic violence shelters. I have 60+ hours of training in advocacy, trauma-informed-care, crisis intervention, and safety planning. I provide trauma-informed care, as well as a combination of both strengths and solutions-based approaches to meet clients where they are and use these strengths to empower them. I would love to go on this journey of empowerment, strengths, and growth with you! Please email me to schedule your first appointment!

College can feel overwhelming, like a whirlwind of pressure, uncertainty, and loneliness. Between the constant juggling of assignments, social expectations, and worry about the future, it’s easy to feel like you’re constantly on edge. Even small decisions feel like they’re too much to handle. Relationships can become confusing and draining, leaving you questioning your worth or feeling misunderstood. It’s exhausting, and sometimes it feels like no one truly understands the depth of what you're going through. But you're not alone, and there is a way through this. I’m here to help you find your way back to a place of calm and confidence. We’ll explore what’s been weighing on you, whether it’s the thoughts that keeps you up at night, the uncertainty about who you are or where you’re headed, or the people in your life that leave you feeling drained or disconnected. We’ll work to uncover the deeper feelings and thoughts that drive these struggles, so you can learn to manage them, feel more at ease, and make choices that reflect your true self. I offer in-person and virtual sessions. Clients who work with me appreciate my calm, down-to-earth approach. Feel free to reach out for a quick consultation phone call too.

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.

My hope is to help you gain clarity, deepen self-understanding, and build the tools you need to live more fully and authentically. Most clients I see are looking to heal from trauma, family dynamics, or attachment wounds that continue to influence their current relationships and sense of self. If you feel uncertain, stuck, or pressured to “have it together,” I provide a compassionate, empowering space to explore your story, heal, and grow into your authentic self.

They want clear insight and coping strategies so they can move forward with confidence—and they seek a compassionate partner to walk beside them every step of the way. With 10+ years of experience, I am able to support clients through life’s toughest moments using a blended approach of strength-based, CBT, cognitive reframing, and solution-focused therapies. I create a space where you feel safe, heard, and empowered to grow. My goal is to help you find relief, build resilience, and move forward with confidence.

Highland Township, MI

I don’t believe that any one modality of therapy works best for everybody. I believe in getting to know my client, understanding what works and does not work for them, and keeping an open line of communication with what is and isn’t helping. That is how I believe the best treatment and treatment planning occurs: when both parties are able to honestly express their thoughts on the treatment process and are willing to explore different avenues in order to bring about the most healing. I believe in person-centered care. I believe in helping a client feel comfortable, welcome, and safe when they are in therapy, and I strive to be a positive support for them. Without my personal life’s experiences with pain, anxiety, depression, and a multitude of other struggles, I know I would not be the therapist that I am today. I believe that I have a large amount of empathy for individuals who go through these types of struggles, and I feel that I can help them not only from a professional level, but also from a human-being to another human-being level. The human experience is not always an easy one to go through. It is my pleasure and privilege to help individuals walk through their struggles and to let them know that they are not alone. By providing them with support, empathy, techniques for success and a safe place to come each week, I believe that I can be a part of the healing in a clients life and that is one of the greatest blessings that I could ever think of participating in.

I’m passionate about supporting children, adolescents, and adults as they navigate the impact of trauma and life’s many challenges. My approach is grounded in the belief that healing happens through genuine connection and that you are the expert in your own story. Together, we will move at a pace that feels right for you, gently exploring and processing distressing thoughts, feelings, memories, and behaviors. Whether you’re struggling with PTSD, anxiety, depression, addiction, or ADHD, I offer a supportive, strength-based space where you can feel seen, heard, and empowered to move toward clarity and balance. I draw on a range of evidence-based therapies, including EMDR, Trauma-Focused CBT, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) tailoring these approaches to your unique needs and goals. Compassion, curiosity, and respect guide every step of our work together. As a trained EMDR therapist, I offer this powerful, healing approach when we mutually decide it’s a good fit. EMDR can help your mind and body process distressing experiences and restore a greater sense of calm and stability. My role is to walk alongside you on this journey helping you build insight, resilience, and meaningful tools that support lasting change.

During our sessions together, I will support you in exploring the many parts of you and how they came to be. I will work with you to identify the negative messages connected to these parts of you. We will form a relationship with these parts and create a safe place for all of you to be seen, heard, and understood. In this safe place, you will heal yourself. Developing my own internal resources has helped me to move through some very difficult times as a member of the LGBTQ+ community. Using evidence based research, I provide care that values every part of you and respects where you came from. In those moments of pain and struggle and self-discovery, I will help you to choose yourself. I seek to create a safe and inclusive space for black-bodied individuals, first generation immigrants, LGBTQ+ folks, survivors of trauma, sex workers, and clients who are struggling with relationship and intimacy issues. My approach to mental health care is rooted in anti-oppressive and decolonizing frameworks. The treatment modalities that I use have been found to be effective across many cultures, ages, genders, and experiences. I am here to support my clients in rediscovering themselves, strengthening their mind-body connection, and living the life they have always wanted.

I believe we don’t have to be defined by our past, but much of our past may be constraining us from who we can and want to be. You only know what you know, and allowing yourself the space, time, and freedom to redefine what that means for you can help you live a life you are meant, deserve, and worth living. I would be honored to be invited into that space with you.
