Welcome! I am a licensed therapist (LPC) with experience in the mental health field since 2004. I am passionate about helping teens, young adults, and adults reach their mental health goals, and I am highly sensitive to the unique needs of each individual.

I graduated from Oakland University in 2011 with a Master of Arts in Counseling, specializing in both School Counseling and Mental Health Counseling. Since then, I have gained extensive experience across a variety of settings, including a sexual assault team, a homeless youth shelter, home-based crisis intervention, school counseling, outpatient mental health, and career counseling. Since 2021, I have focused on private practice, providing teletherapy to individuals, families,and couples facing various challenges.

I specialize in treating anxiety disorders, depression, mood disorders, ADHD, trauma, and grief, as well as supporting clients with LGBTQ+ navigation, teen issues, relationships, communication, and family dynamics. My practice utilizes a range of therapeutic modalities tailored to your needs, including DBT, Mindfulness, CBT, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused therapy.

I also am currently offering Supervision services to LLPCs working on their full licensure.

I look forward to meeting you and supporting you on your journey.
