Prenatal and postpartum therapists & psychiatrists in Saginaw, MI

I was born and raised in Michigan. I love the four seasons and all of the college and professional sport teams. I have over 20 years of behavioral health experience and both mental health and substance abuse. I also hold a certificate from Western Michigan University for treating drug and alcohol addictions.

Hi! You've taken the first step. Now you need to choose one among so many passionate and capable clinicians being presented to you... and it can feel daunting. For me and my ADHD brain, trying to pick a new therapist is akin to standing in front of the cereal aisle trying to decide which one is the best for me (so many choices!!).

I am a new licensed therapist but I am not new to counseling. I have spent the last 9 years as a Hospice Social Worker. I found tremendous meaning in this work and I am grateful to all who opened up their homes and hearts to me at one of the most difficult times in their lives.

As a seasoned hospice social worker, I offer support and guidance for terminal illnesses, end of life issues and bereavement.

In my new role as a therapist (Licensed Clinical Social Worker), I lean into my passion for helping people feel visible and cared about. My style is warm and inviting and I bring humor into my work as often as possible. My goal as a therapist is to support my clients in what they are seeking support for and to foster an openness for the possibilities of life.

I currently reside in Northeast Michigan along the beautiful Lake Huron and have a license to practice in Michigan. I am passionate about supporting individuals on their journey toward self-understanding and an overall well-being. As a clinician, I believe in creating a safe, compassionate space where you feel heard and understood.

I am a mental health professional who integrates evidence based practices with a Christ Like worldview to support healing, growth, restoration and transformation. True wellness and stability includes all aspects of the person that includes the mind, body, and spirit, and I strive to create a safe, grace-filled space where clients feel seen, heard, and valued. I value providing services to help individuals navigate the the challenging journey of life and offer a non judgemental space where clients can be open, vulnerable and honest about any challenges that they may be facing.

Welcome, and thank you for taking the time to be here. I’ve been in practice for over 10 years, and throughout that time I’ve learned that healing looks different for everyone. My work is rooted in trauma-informed care, and I approach each person with curiosity, compassion, and deep respect for their lived experience.

You don’t have to go through things alone. I’m here to walk alongside you as you move toward greater clarity, healing, and self-connection.

"The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are." – Carl Jung

Do you know who you are?

I am a licensed therapist located in the beautiful Northern Michigan, and it is my mission to help you answer that question with a 'YES.'

Knowing yourself is the first step towards a meaningful and fulfilling life. I work with clients to improve their self-awareness so they can begin to create the life they want to live.

Therapy is not just for crises -- it is also a tool to increase joy, satisfaction, and confidence in daily living.

I work with people navigating life's challenges using an approach that draws from real-life experience and evidence-based methods. I'm trained in DBT, EMDR, Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, and Trauma-Focused CBT, and I tailor my work to fit your unique needs and goals.

I'm genuine and create a safe, non-judgmental place to process life's difficult moments. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and meaningful life. I'm here to support and empower you on that journey.

I listen, provide empathy in a way to make you feel empowered without judgement or negativity.
