I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the State of Michigan and a Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC). I have over 10 years of experience working with adults, children, couples, and families. I believe that everyone deserves to have their story heard. In this fast paced society, how often do you feel that someone is truly paying attention? Life is challenging, but ultimately rewarding. Each crisis or obstacle that we face provides us with an opportunity to grow. Choosing to grow requires courage. Often we lose sight of how resilient we can be…we need some guidance in re-fueling our well of fortitude. While our time in counseling is important, your dedication to making positive choices in your day-to-day life is crucial. You are the expert on your life. Much like the circumstances that nurture an acorn to grow into an oak tree, we can work together to create your best life. Although I may utilize several theoretical approaches, my core beliefs are strengths based and nonjudgmental. Through the counseling relationship, we will work together to identify goals. I will find ways to teach you new skills that are relevant to your unique situation. I have provided counseling and support for clients with a wide range of concerns including: anxiety, depression, adoption, relationship issues, LGBTQ issues, parenting, PTSD, ADHD, Traumatic Brain Injury, and grief. I am also passionate about social justice. I would love the opportunity to work with you! Together we will determine, if my style is a good fit for your needs.
