- LMSW
I'm a licensed therapist in Michigan with extensive experience supporting individuals and families through life's most challenging moments. My work focuses on helping clients navigate communication difficulties, relationship concerns, parenting challenges, and workplace issues. I specialize in supporting men through fatherhood, identity, and personal growth, as well as helping individuals manage anger, anxiety, panic, and social challenges.
I work with clients across the lifespan while using evidence based strategies , including those navigating neurodivergence, financial stress, shame and guilt, isolation, and process addictions.
My core belief is that therapy works best when built on genuine connection, honest dialogue, and mutual respect. I'm committed to creating a space where you feel heard, understood, and supported as you work toward meaningful change. I'm here to help you build the skills and insight you need to move forward with confidence and clarity.

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.
