As a licensed therapist in Michigan, I bring over a decade of compassionate mental health experience supporting individuals through life's complex challenges. My practice centers on helping clients navigate depression, anxiety, stress, or adjustment to difficult life circumstances, while fostering deeper self-understanding and personal growth.
I specialize in supporting individuals struggling with social anxiety, communication difficulties, and challenges related to self-esteem and life transitions. My approach is deeply collaborative, focusing on empowering clients to develop meaningful coping strategies and reconnect with their sense of purpose.
Drawing from evidence-based practices, I create a warm, non-judgmental therapeutic environment where clients can explore their experiences, build resilience, and cultivate self-compassion. Whether you're seeking support through personal transitions, working to improve relationships, or addressing underlying emotional challenges, I'm committed to walking alongside you with genuine understanding and professional guidance.
My goal is to help you develop practical tools, gain insights, and create positive change at a pace that feels comfortable and authentic to your unique journey.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
