My approach to therapy is rooted in meeting individuals where they are, rather than imposing where or how they should be. This humanistic, client-centered approach is based on a strength-based perspective. I firmly believe that clients are the experts in their own lives and that seeking help requires great strength, especially when they are truly ready. While I enjoy working with people of all ages, I have a particular affinity for children, adolescents, and young adults, who represent especially meaningful populations to me. I am committed to being an advocate for those who may feel unheard and playing a supportive role in each client’s journey toward self-improvement. Please know that my office is a safe space where you can express your thoughts and feelings freely, and be vulnerable. I encourage you to be yourself, and if you’re still discovering who that is, I am honored to help you find out!

Howdy there! I’m proud of you for making the courageous choice to pursue therapy. As a member of the LGBTQIA+ community myself, I have a profound understanding of the unique challenges and celebrations that come along when navigating this wonderfully diverse spectrum of identities. Although I have only walked parts of this path myself, I am intentional at creating a safe, affirming, and judgment-free space where you can be your authentic self. Having worked extensively with populations struggling with loneliness and isolation, I’ve witnessed the transformative power of human connection. This experience has reinforced my belief that every individual deserves a haven where they can unapologetically be their authentic selves and embark on the empowering journey of exploring their unique stories.

I bring fresh learning experiences and the valuable guidance of dedicated supervisors. My therapeutic approach is firmly rooted in collaboration and a deep respect for your unique needs and desires. I use an integrative approach that draws from various theories, such as person-centered, empowerment, and mindfulness. Ensuring that your journey is guided by evidence-based practices and a genuine commitment to your well-being. My goal is to nurture a therapeutic alliance that empowers you to effectively navigate the obstacles life presents, foster your resilience, and uncover the innate strengths that reside within you.

Your well-being is at the forefront of our work together, and I am here to support you every step of the way.

My approach is based on years of experience working with children and adolescents who struggle with trauma and attachment issues. I have learned that the most important aspect of therapy is creating a safe space so that people can heal. I have expanded my skills to include adults and couples which I have enjoyed tremendously and want to continue to grow as a clinician in these areas. My goal is to meet you where you’re at and to help guide you in creating goals for your personal growth journey.

I have training in EMDR trauma therapy and am a certified addictions counselor.

I look forward to meeting you and creating a space to learn and grow together!

Welcome! My passion is to help serve and improve the mental, social, and emotional well-being of children, adolescents, young adults, and their families in the Upper Peninsula. My goal is to support and empower clients walking through a variety of life experiences. I am a firm believer in providing a non-judgmental, person-centered therapy approach. When entering my office, you will be provided a safe space met with acceptance, empathy, and genuineness.

I have experience working with children, adolescents, and their families in the school, and community settings. My approach is holistic and strengths-based integrating various evidenced-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Motivational Interviewing, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Mindfulness Practices. I support children, adolescents, and young adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, self-esteem, life changes, and social/emotional concerns.
