I graduated in 2013 from Oakland University with a Master's in Counseling. My undergraduate degree in Psychology with a minor in English.

I have worked in substance abuse rehab facilities and prison, providing substance abuse counseling in group and individual sessions. I have also worked for community health agencies for different counties in Michigan, doing individual counseling, assisting clients with applying for benefits and providing various resources.

I work with individuals, adults aged 18 plus via telehealth. I work with all genders, sexualities, ethnicities, relationship structures, and religious/non-religious beliefs.

I bring more than 20 years of healthcare experience into my therapy practice, working with individuals and families across cardiology, pediatrics, substance abuse treatment, labor and delivery, discharge planning, and medical-surgical care. I’m naturally people-oriented and believe meaningful healing begins with feeling truly seen and understood. My path to becoming a therapist was shaped by resilience, personal growth, and a deep commitment to helping others navigate life’s challenges with support, compassion, and practical guidance.

I provide counseling for individuals and families who are facing many forms of conflict including addiction, anxiety, depression, grief and significant life transitions. I understand that seeking support often comes at a time when life feels overwhelming or uncertain, and my priority is to offer a compassionate, steady place to work through these challenges. Together we take the time you need to explore what brought you here and what you're hoping to change. Your goals - whether they involve healing from loss, breaking patterns related to addiction, or navigating a difficult transition - will guide the direction of our sessions.
