Hello and welcome to Great Lakes Psychology Group!

I am happy you are here. Though life may feel out of order, or maybe even impossible right now, I can offer multiple therapeutic options for you. Many of my clients have returned to a much calmer, peaceful state of being after working with me.

My training and education has prepared me to work with a diverse array of experiences. I began my work primarily in the field of drug and alcohol recovery. The second part of my career has focused on working with couples on conflict resolution, affair recovery, and other relationship goals, as well as with individuals for behavioral health issues such as trauma, anxiety, depression, bipolar, gambling addictions, schizophrenia, and other mental health concerns.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), with a master's degree in Clinical Mental Health from Western Michigan University, and a National Certified Counselor (NCC). I am also a Certified Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CAADC), and have earned a level 1 certificate for Terry Real's RLT therapy. Additionally, I have also completed the 3rd level of training for Gottman Method Couples Therapy and am currently in the certification track for the Gottman Method.

I look forward to working with you soon!
