About
I am a passionate therapist who will assist you in reaching your goals.
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.

Grief and loss counseling helps people grieve difficult losses including the death of a loved one, the loss of a job, or the end of a relationship. It helps people navigate their grief process and eventually accept, understand, and move forward from their loss. Thriveworks grief therapists in West Bloomfield, MI have specific experience, training, and skills that enable them to best support grieving individuals.
Grief and loss counseling isn’t one-size-fits-all, but it involves sharing about your loss and then working with your counselor to acknowledge and accept your new reality in its wake. Your provider at Thriveworks in West Bloomfield, MI will design your treatment plan around your unique needs and goals for therapy, applying the counseling techniques that best support them.
If you have recently experienced an event like the death of a loved one, a breakup or divorce, the loss of a job, or another major life change, then you may want to seek grief and loss counseling. Grief can be caused by many experiences and events, so if you feel that you are having trouble moving on from a certain event or find that it is still impacting your life and functioning, grief and loss counseling can help you process it more effectively so that you can move on and once again find fulfillment and satisfaction in your life.
There are many counseling theories for treating grief, one of the most frequently used being the dual process model of grief which helps people acknowledge who or what they’ve lost through rumination while also adjusting to the new roles and identities that this loss has now placed on them. There are also many commonly used therapy approaches used in grief and loss counseling, including Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and traumatic grief therapy.
Grief & loss counseling at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
For many, grief and loss counseling lasts for about 6 months. For others, it may last shorter or longer, depending on the severity of their loss and their grief.
Have you ever lost a loved one? Have you ever been fired from a job that was dear to your heart? Have you have ever had to put a beloved pet down? These are all tough losses that can be absolutely devastating. In all of these scenarios, you’re forced to let go of an important someone or something that you love. Additionally, you’re flooded with difficult emotions like sadness, anger, fear, even confusion. And you have no choice but to accept and work through them.
The good news is that you don’t have to work through these emotions or grieve your loss alone. There are medical professionals who specialize in helping people just like you to grieve their heartbreaking losses. This process might involve confronting those difficult emotions we just listed, accepting the loss, learning new coping tools, and ultimately figuring out how to live happily again.
If you have recently lost a beloved friend or family member, job, or pet, be sure to get the help you need to heal properly. If you are in West Bloomfield, MI or the Oakland County area, consider working with a grief counselor at Thriveworks West Bloomfield—these professionals have the skills, training, and experience to guide you through your grief and offer you essential support during this hard time.

There are five stages of grief that help to explain this process: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. As Elisabeth Kubler-Ross and David Kessler explained in their book On Grief and Grieving, “The five stages of grief are tools to help us frame and identify what we may be feeling. But they are not stops on some linear timeline in grief. Not everyone goes through all of them or in a prescribed order.” That said, let’s understand these stages of grief a little better:
Again, these stages are meant to explain different elements of the grieving process. They do not represent a linear timeline of what one might experience as the result of a loss. Now, if you find yourself struggling after a tough loss, that’s all you need to reach out for help. Losing a loved one is often one of the hardest experiences in life, and you need all of the support you can get.
