Owner/ Psychotherapist
I am a Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) specializing in individual, couple and family therapy. I hold a Bachelor of Science degree in Education from Northern Michigan University and a Master of Arts degree in Counseling Education/Counseling Psychology from Western Michigan University.
I am a native of the U.P. and have a passion for helping others find happiness and peace within themselves, while focusing on personal growth. I help individuals work through trauma, stress, anxiety, depression, suicidal ideations, relationship issues and challenging life transitions. I guide couples in reconnecting, healing post-affair and working through empty nest issues. I provide families guidance in establishing connection, unity and structure. I am a Cognitive Behavioral therapist, but I utilize a variety of evidence-based treatment modalities to address a broad range of mental health struggles. I strongly support an integrative, holistic approach to counseling, as I believe a deeper understanding of the whole self can foster greater self-awareness, confidence and self-acceptance.
As your counselor, I will work with you to build on your strengths and guide you toward your goals. I will develop an individual plan using proven methods to help you reach your goals. With compassion and kindness, I will encourage you and guide you through the counseling process.
