Family therapy and counseling in Flint, MI

I have over 20 years of working with diverse populations. I enjoy building relationships with my clients that focuses on your strengths, identify barriers to your goals and help you navigate ways to get to where you want to be. I use an evidence based holistic approach that is client-centered. Whether you’re wanting to focus on your sexual health, addictions, sexual assault, domestic violence, grief, loss, raising children, you name it! I have successfully supported hundreds of folks who want to live their best life on their terms! Give me a call today and you’ll see why clients say, “I'm the BEST at helping you get there!”

In my approach to counseling, I use Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Solution Focus Therapy and Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy as the main approaches to counseling. It is important that each client's needs are met through their counseling experience, therefore, counseling is not limited to the above approaches. Biblical principles are also used as an approach to counseling. Counseling will be provided to a diverse population of individuals. Optimum health and healing is possible if you are willing to do the work! Be Willing!

I have been doing this work since 2009 — which means I have sat with a lot of people through a lot of different kinds of hard. I hold a Master's degree in Counseling with a dual focus in professional counseling and marriage and family therapy, and my career has moved through two distinct chapters that have shaped how I practice. The first half was spent in the world of substance use — working with individuals and families where the stakes were high and the complexity was real. The last several years have been in private practice, where I've worked with the full range of human struggle: depression, anxiety, ADHD, PTSD, substance use disorders, parenting stress, and the disorienting moments when life shifts beneath your feet. I work with individuals, couples, and groups. Very few things surprise me at this point — and that's exactly what makes this work feel safe.

Real change requires more than just talking, it requires intention, insight, and the right support. With over 40 years of experience as a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) and clinical leader, I have dedicated my career to helping individuals, families, and adolescents navigate life’s most complex challenges, including trauma, anxiety, stress, grief, depression, and family conflict. My approach is compassionate, structured, and results-driven, grounded in evidence-based practices such as Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT). Clients often experience me as warm, grounded, and direct, someone who creates a safe, nonjudgmental space while also helping them identify patterns, build insight, and take meaningful steps forward. I don’t believe in surface-level conversations; I believe therapy should lead to real, lasting progress. I am fully invested in your growth, meeting you where you are while also gently challenging you toward greater clarity, confidence, and empowerment. If you are ready to do the work, I am here to walk alongside you every step of the way.
