You may be dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, self-doubt, or simply feeling stuck and unsure how to move forward. You don’t have to figure it out alone.
I am a licensed clinical social worker in Michigan with five years of professional experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, low self-esteem, and challenges with motivation and confidence.
My approach is compassionate, practical, and collaborative. I strive to create a safe, judgment-free space where you can better understand what is keeping you stuck, work through difficult experiences, and develop healthier ways of responding to life’s challenges.
Taking the first step toward therapy can be difficult, and I would be honored to support you in that process.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
