Brene Brown said it best - "Imperfections are not inadequacies, they are reminders that we are all in this together."

I practice a strength-based approach to counseling in a warm, relaxed, comfortable virtual online environment. In our sessions you will be valued, heard and validated through a positive and affirming perspective.

I address a wide range of issues with adolescents, adults and couples, including depression, anxiety, other mental health disorders, trauma, grief, unresolved emotional issues and relationship concerns in both individual and couples' approach to counseling.

I am Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), a Certified Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CAADC) and a Certified Clinical Supervisor (CCS) in the State of Michigan. I have held credentials in Trauma Counseling with youth and adults. I have extensive education and experience in the field of depression, anxiety, trauma and addiction.

I have continued my career in the mental health field/substance abuse/trauma field for over 25 years. I have experience in both mental health and substance abuse with trauma, depression, anxiety, co-occurring disorders, and human trafficking victims (sex and work trade).

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.
