Hello! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Michigan. I have over 5 years of counseling experience in women's issues such as divorce, self esteem, self confidence, relationships and parenting. I have also dealt with issues of grief and loss as well as stress and anxiety. My style of counseling is warm, supportive, and compassionate. My approach is cognitive behavioral as well as humanistic. However I will tailor my treatment plan and approach to your needs. Change does not always have to be feared or difficult.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker ( LCSW) and have worked in multiple settings, advocating, coaching and providing guidance for individuals with concerns including anxiety, stress, depression, isolation/loneliness, grief, loss, bereavement, end of life / hospice, compassion fatigue, forgiveness, self care, self esteem, life purpose and coping with life changes. I have worked with individuals at different stages of Cancer survivorship and end of life. I strive to make the therapy experience genuine, positive, respectful and safe. My communication style is warm, kind and engaging. I do not believe in using stigmatizing labels. Although I am not an expert in LBGTQ+ issues/experience yet, I am educated and my practice approach is LBGTQ+ affirming, respectfully. My therapeutic approach is solution focused, client centered and strength based drawing heavily from cognitive behavioral and humanistic therapies. I believe human beings have the amazing capacity to self heal, inspire, empower, learn from others but most vastly learn from our own struggles, challenges and triumphs. Therapy is a process that can help you discover the lesson or silver lining your problem has presented to you. Therapy can also help you discover new and better ways of thinking and coping with challenges you face. Each of us has unique gifts that if discovered and embraced can help guide us to a more peaceful, joyful and fulfilling life. I applaud you in reaching out and taking the first steps toward seeking a happier life.

Hello, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LMSW) in the state of Michigan with over 20 years’ experience as a psychotherapist. My therapeutic model focuses on restoring hope, promoting growth, and building upon the strengths of the client. My goal as a therapist is to provide support and practical feedback to help with those unresolved past and current concerns/problems while gaining more confidence, courage, and satisfaction out of life. Through counseling I am dedicated to help clients find their own inner strength and resolve life difficult journeys, so that life is enjoyed to its fullest. Growth comes from facing our problems and overcoming them. I provide therapy with an integrative approach that has its foundations in behaviorism, utilizing models such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy and Person-Centered Therapy. Although therapy can become uncomfortable, I vow to create an open and safe environment where issues, thoughts, and feelings can be shared without fear. It is not always what happens to us that impacts us but rather how we respond to learning to make better choices. Looking forward to working with you.
