With over 30 years of experience in the mental health field, I have dedicated my career to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with compassion, understanding, and practical support. As a fully licensed therapist, I bring both professional expertise and genuine care to every session.

Throughout my career, I have worked with people from many different backgrounds, helping them address issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, grief, and life transitions. My approach is centered on creating a safe, non-judgmental space where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered.

What clients often appreciate most is my ability to truly listen and meet them where they are. I believe healing and growth happen when people feel supported and understood. My role is to help clients gain clarity, develop healthy coping skills, strengthen resilience, and rediscover their personal strengths.

Over the years, I have seen how powerful change can be when someone is given the right tools, encouragement, and guidance. My experience allows me to draw from a wide range of therapeutic approaches to best meet each client’s unique needs.

My commitment is simple: to walk alongside my clients on their journey toward healing, growth, and a more balanced, fulfilling life.

Do you often find yourself feeling empty – as if you float through your days going through the motions, rather than living an abundant and thriving life? Life can be difficult, and no matter how strong one may be mentally, there is only so much stress one can shoulder alone before it becomes too much. I believe in working together collaboratively in order to unlock one’s innate ability to self-heal. Through support and guided introspection, the answers to our troubles become self-evident.

I have worked in the Social Work field for about 10 years and found my specialty and passion in therapy. I am a compassionate and non-judgmental therapist who enjoys working one-on-one with individuals seeking help. I specialize in anxiety, depression, self-harm behaviors, trauma, family conflict, postpartum, and LGBTQ+ issues.

I’m an Indiana and Michigan Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over a decade of experience helping young adults, adults, and older adults (65+) manage life transitions, emotional stress, and everyday overwhelm. As a fully virtual provider, I offer flexible, confidential online therapy to clients across Michigan.

I am a licensed mental health therapist with a background in social work. I have a master's in clinical social work from the University of Wisconsin, Green Bay. I have experience working in outpatient therapy and medical settings, which has shaped my grounded and integrative approach to care. I work with adults and children navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationship challenges, professional stress, grief, and patterns that feel difficult to shift. I also support individuals experiencing self-doubt, boundary concerns, emotional overwhelm, and relational dynamics that leave them feeling unseen or unheard.
