You’ve been through enough. Now it’s time to rediscover the person you were always meant to be. I believe true healing begins when we care for the whole person—not just the problem. My goal is to provide a safe, compassionate, and judgment-free space where you can feel heard, understood, and supported. I work with individuals who are ready to heal, grow, and create meaningful change. Clients may seek counseling for anxiety, depression, trauma, or feeling stuck and uncertain about their next steps. You don’t have to navigate life’s challenges alone. I’m here to meet you where you are, listen with intention, and support you as you work toward healing, growth, and wellness. When you’re ready, I invite you to take that first step toward healing and positive change.

Therapist

Virtual • Michigan


Hello and welcome,

I’m a dedicated therapist with over 10 years of experience supporting individuals through life’s challenges. I am truly passionate about the work I do and feel honored to walk alongside my clients as they navigate difficult moments and work toward healing and growth.

My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to each person’s unique needs. I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can feel heard, understood, and supported. I believe that meaningful change happens when we feel genuinely seen and empowered.

I draw from a variety of evidence-based approaches, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and other modalities. This allows me to adapt our work together in a way that best supports your goals and experiences.

I have experience working with individuals facing depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, and marital concerns. Whether you are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply looking for support and clarity, I am here to help you move forward at your own pace.

I look forward to the opportunity to work together.
