Obsessive-compulsive disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Michigan

Some of my background...

After raising a blended family, I decided to go back to school and change careers. Therapy lets me combine two of my lifelong passions: helping others succeed and horses. I now divide my time fairly evenly between working with horses and providing therapy.

I graduated from Oakland University in 2021 with a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I worked with a non-profit group for a year before starting my practice in 2022.

Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming, and I’m glad you’re here. As a licensed clinical social worker, my goal is to provide a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you feel comfortable sharing your thoughts, emotions, and experiences at your own pace. I believe meaningful change begins when you feel truly heard, understood, and supported.

I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, eating disorders, life transitions, trauma, OCD, and other emotional challenges. Every person’s journey is unique, so I tailor therapy to your individual needs, strengths, and goals rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach.

My clinical experience spans a variety of settings, where I’ve had the privilege of helping individuals from diverse backgrounds navigate life’s challenges. I use evidence-based approaches to help you gain insight, develop healthy coping skills, and create meaningful, lasting change.

Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply ready to invest in yourself, I’m here to support you every step of the way. Together, we’ll work toward helping you feel more confident, balanced, and empowered in your everyday life

I am a compassionate counselor and easy to get to know. I am excellent listener

I personally know what it is like to struggle with anxiety and despair. I also know what it is like to go to therapy and to get little benefit from it. Many years ago, my emotional life changed dramatically when I stumbled onto resources that addressed my actual needs, and subsequently I devoted myself to a career promoting better mental health practices than I was taught when I was young.

Simply put, I teach people six interrelated psychological skills that you can use to transform your life. If all you want to do is explore the past, I'm not your best option - I focus on the past only enough to get us moving toward the future you want. I love to help people develop psychological superpowers that they can use to get the life they always hoped for, starting from where they are now and moving forward into a future they find worthwhile.

I obtained by master's degree in 2023 from the Chicago School of Professional Psychology. I have experience working with diverse populations, including individuals managing anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. I specialize in trauma therapy, PTSD treatment, anxiety and OCD treatment, and substance use/addiction. I have additional experience working with survivors of domestic/intimate partner violence and human trafficking. I have recently obtained my credential as a Certified Trauma Professional (CTP).

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Mississippi and the state of Michigan.

I received my bachelor’s degree from the University of Mississippi (Hotty Toddy!) and my Master of Arts in Counseling from Reformed Theological Seminary. Before moving to Jackson, Miss. for graduate school, I worked with Cru (a campus ministry) for three years on the Ole Miss campus.

While living in Oxford, I also worked as the Administrative Assistant at Grace Bible Church of Oxford for two years.

Through receiving counseling in my own life, my desire grew to sit with and serve those experiencing darkness, hardship, or hurt in their own life. I want to utilize my life experience and education to walk alongside my clients as they uncover and develop their own internal resources.
