Utica

Reaching out for support can feel overwhelming, and I believe that everyone deserves a space where they feel safe, heard, and understood. My goal is to provide a compassionate, nonjudgmental environment where we can work together to help you better understand yourself, heal from past experiences, and create meaningful change.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with a Master of Arts in Counseling from Oakland University and am certified in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). I primarily specialize in working with adults who have experienced trauma, while also helping clients navigate anxiety, relationship concerns, self-esteem, grief and loss, life transitions, and learning coping skills.

I take a collaborative, personalized approach to therapy because I recognize that every person’s experiences and goals are unique. Drawing from evidence-based approaches including EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness, Narrative, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), I tailor treatment to meet your individual needs.

My clinical experience includes working with adults in various settings, including Gilda’s Club in Royal Oak, supporting individuals and families impacted by cancer. During graduate school, I also worked as a graduate assistant in a university career counseling center, helping traditional and nontraditional college students and alumni navigate career exploration, job searches, interviewing, and professional development. These experiences have strengthened my ability to support clients through life’s many transitions. I welcome clients from all backgrounds and am proud to provide an affirming space for members of the LGBTQIA+ community. Whether you’re processing past trauma or navigating life’s current challenges, I look forward to supporting you on your journey toward healing and growth.
