Welcome! I am a licensed master's level psychologist who provides therapy to adolescents and adults across the state of Michigan. I have over 20 years of experience as a psychotherapist working with issues such as ADHD, anxiety, depression, relationships, family issues and parenting, life skills and changes, trauma, loss / grief, as well as chronic or terminal illness. With support, encouragement, and expert insight, therapy can be the place you grow, the place you heal, or the place you learn to accept you. I enjoy working as a therapist. It is an absolute privilege to experience your courage, your growth and your healing. A more focused passion of mine is working with people affected by cancer. I also specialize in working with caregivers, helping professionals, and educators affected by burn-out, secondary trauma, and compassion fatigue. Come as you are. Be you. Judgment free. Respectfully. Let's do this! Education and Credentials Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology, M.A. Limited License Psychologist, State of Michigan (L.L.P.) Certified in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy All therapy is culturally sensitive, trauma informed

I work with teens and adults who feel anxious, emotionally exhausted, discouraged, or worn down by chronic pain. Together, we pursue healing that honors both your mental health and your faith. My approach is grounded in clinical psychology, with the option to thoughtfully integrate Christian spirituality and/or address religious trauma in a way that is respectful, collaborative, and aligned with your values. As therapy progresses, you’ll begin to notice meaningful shifts. Life, work, and relationships will feel lighter and steadier. Moments of genuine joy will return. When difficult thoughts or emotions arise, they won’t pull you under. Instead of spiraling into overthinking or self-criticism, you’ll respond with clarity, wisdom, and self-compassion. The harsh inner voice softens, replaced by one that is kinder and more truthful. The world may still feel uncertain at times, but it will no longer feel hopeless. If you’re wondering whether we might be a good fit, I invite you to learn more about my story and approach.

I often build trust and rapport quickly, while instilling hope and optimism. Therapy is performed both in person and tele therapeutically, helping to ameliorate symptoms and improve overall functioning in those that I serve. Clients will tell you that I am nonjudgmental, open minded, approachable, live by Christian values and I am respectful of all people.

For years, clients have felt relaxed and heard in the sessions, making continuing therapy seamless for many. Regarding diagnoses, I have helped ameliorate symptoms for clients with ADHD, Anxiety, Bipolar, Depression, GAD, PTSD, OCD, ODD, and adjustment disorders, etc..

Currently, I am accepting the following insurances: Aetna, BCBS, Blue Cross Complete, BCN, McLaren, Mclaren Medicaid, Medicare, Michigan Medicaid, Molina, Multiplan, Optum, and PHP (Out-Of-Network coverage). Finally, being located near East Lansing, I am in a prime location for college students and have helped many with a broad range of issues and have had many clients state that they have had therapists in the past, but have felt more connected to, listened to, and made more progress herein.

Many of the students I work with are trying to juggle a lot: school, work, relationships, family, and their own mental health. Some are dealing with anxiety, depression, or ADHD, while others are working through trauma or just feeling stuck and overwhelmed. What they tend to have in common is a desire to feel better and a willingness to take that first step toward support, even if they’re not exactly sure where to start. I work best with students who want someone who will listen without judgment, explain things clearly, and help them find a path that fits their unique goals, whether that includes therapy, medication, or both. You don’t need to have it all figured out before reaching out. We can work through it together.

I enjoy supporting students and young adults as they navigate life's challenges and transitions. You may be feeling overwhelmed by academic stress, anxiety, relationships, self-doubt, balancing responsibilities, or figuring out who you are and where you're headed.

Sometimes we lose our sense of self and feel overwhelmed by our emotions, experiences, and life's responsibilities. Other times, we lack a space where we can show up as we are, and have someone join us in our experience. I value creating a collaborative space for exploration, healing, and understanding. Together, we can create a space where you are heard and where you can explore what brings meaning to your life. I work with clients who may be navigating life transitions, are feeling distressed, or experiencing interpersonal issues. Early on, we will develop a trusting relationship, exploring your current concerns and collaborating to find ways to address them. I often use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Person-Centered, and Strengths- based techniques. After exploring what's brining you into therapy, we will work on increasing your tolerance of certain emotions while living a life that brings you fulfillment and meaning.
