Great to meet you!

I have over 5 years of experience helping adults with addiction and helping adults, teens and children with mental health disorders since May 2022. I'm licensed in Michigan and hold a certification as a Certified Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor.

My approach to therapy

I often use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. With EMDR, we'll look at how past trauma/experiences create negative core beliefs about yourself and affect your emotions. I'll help you learn coping techniques to help you feel better.

What you can expect from me

I believe in a holistic approach to wellness. Our mind and body are connected to make up who we are. It is often hard work to get better and it requires commitment and patience. There will be times you will want to give up, however, know that I will be with you throughout the healing process. I will listen with an open mind and sometimes push you a little out of your comfort zone. My goal is to help you heal past hurts, hang ups and traumas.
