I understand that the decision to enter into counseling may have been a difficult one for you. I know that making that first call is the most difficult and bravest thing you can do for yourself. I have been on both sides of the desk, so I can relate to that fear and anxiety. Before you agree to enter into a counseling relationship with me, I believe it’s important for you to understand my background. I have many personal loss experiences which led me to this career. I have experience as a hospice volunteer, facilitating a young partner loss group, grief and loss groups using art expression, guest blogger and artist for an online support group, illustrated and co-wrote a hospice grief journal, an artist, and a published poet. I have over ten years of experience in career counseling earning two certifications, have worked in non-profits, hospitals, nursing homes, hospices, teaching, mental health clinics, and most recently in private practice. I also am a Certified Therapeutic Art Life Coach and certified in grief counseling. I consider myself an eclectic, faith based (religion need not be discussed) counselor that is person centered with an empathetic strength based approach. I incorporate the use of creative arts using various art media and writing and mindfulness such as relaxation and visualizations. I received an associate’s degree in psychology and a bachelor of fine arts degree, Cum Laude, in 1999 and received my master of arts in counseling in 2006 from Siena Heights University. I have also earned post graduate credits in art therapy. I can help you with life adjustment, bereavement, depression, stress, and anxiety. My hope is that through a non-judgmental approach, you will accept my support and encouragement during the difficulty you may be experiencing in your life journey.

Counseling Philosophy and Services I believe in a holistic and strength-based approach to counseling. The therapy process, in my opinion, is most beneficial when it involves exploring and integrating emotional, physical, social, spiritual needs, and values. Strength-based therapy highlights your abilities, talents, and positive qualities. One can use existing strengths and resources to promote personal growth, resilience, and well-being. I am licensed in Michigan with 5 years of professional work experience as a mental health clinician. Two of those years I worked as a home-based clinician serving children with severe emotional disturbances and their families. I have over 10 years of professional experience working with women during prenatal and postnatal transitions. I enjoy serving individuals across the lifespan. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.
