I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 25 years of experience supporting individuals through a wide range of life challenges. I work with clients navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship concerns, self-esteem issues, and behavioral and emotional difficulties. My approach is collaborative and grounded in evidence-based practices that help clients clarify their goals and build meaningful change.

I earned my master’s degree in community counseling from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. My work integrates cognitive behavioral therapy, internal family systems, and other solution-focused, strengths-based approaches to help clients gain insight, develop effective coping strategies, and build confidence in their ability to grow.

I am committed to creating a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you feel heard and empowered. Together, we will explore what you need to move toward balance, resilience, and lasting change. Reaching out for support is a powerful first step, and I would be honored to walk with you as you pursue a more fulfilling life.

My bread and butter is working with clients who are in a time of transition. I love being able to utilize skills such as problem solving, creativity and a passion for learning to work in partnership with clients facing life challenges. My clients tend to be young adults and professionals looking for direction and a desire to gain deeper insight. Specifically I work with individuals with ADHD, mood disorders, and chronic illness. I received my Masters of Arts in Counseling from University of Detroit Mercy and am a Licensed Professional Counselor.

My methods are flexible allowing space to explore and giving clients autonomy over their therapeutic journey. I utilize techniques such as CBT, DBT, Somatic and Expressive therapies in order to attain a more balanced and meaningful existence. My goal is to work myself out of a job by giving my clients the tools to feel confident in managing life stressors.

Life is messy and hard. Whatever you're carrying, you deserve a space to set it down and figure out your next step. When you're ready, I'm here and ready to face it together.
