Licensed Professional Counselor

License #640101150322 years of experienceAges 1–64

We all have times in which we seek an outside person to help give us perspective and provide support as we find our way. I am an experienced Professional Counselor with many years of experience working with both children and adults. I earned my Masters Degree in Professional Counseling from Central Michigan University in 2004 and have over 10 years post masters experience. I have experience working with children and adults in the areas of depression, anxiety, trauma, adjustment to life challenges, self-esteem and relationship concerns.

I am passionate about helping people discover and move toward their full potential and helping families build on their strengths. I have many years working with children and families in the community mental health, foster care systems, and schools addressing various mental health concerns. I am also nationally certified in Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
I would love to work with you on meeting you where you are and helping you find your potential to overcome obstacles and grow. I believe that all helpful therapy experiences start with a trusting relationship with the therapist.
