I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with 4 years of experience and specialized training in trauma, autism, anxiety, and anger management. I work with clients who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or misunderstood, helping them build resilience, manage emotions, improve relationships, and create balance.

I'm a Licensed Counselor with 3 years of experience in the mental health field. I'm passionate about helping adolescents, children, adults, and families reach their goals in order to live a more fulfilled life. I completed my Master of Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Western Michigan University. My role as a therapist is to provide a safe space where you can feel relaxed and move at your own pace. I offer a client-centered approach and believe you are the expert in your own life. I'm here to help guide you toward your goals.

I offer a non-judgmental approach and a safe space where we'll work together to help you navigate the roadmap to your life and be the healthiest version of yourself. I utilize various approaches including mindfulness, cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy, and dialectical behavior therapy skills.

Life, unfortunately, has no road map or single, final destination. Many find themselves searching for counseling when they feel lost, defeated, depressed, anxious, or hurt. I'm here to offer a safe space to those looking to make a change. I focus on helping you reach your goals by exploring behaviors and thought patterns. I focus heavily on helping you learn skills and tools to reduce your stress and empower you to make change where it counts. If you're ready to work, please schedule an appointment with me today.
