My Story
I am so glad you are here. Let me share a bit about my journey with you. I earned my Bachelor's Degree from Michigan State University, my Master's Degree from the University of Northern Colorado, and a Post Master's Certificate in School Couneling from Eastern Michigan University. As a Licensed Professional Counselor and Global Development Career Facilitator I have the privilege to work across various settings including schools, nonprofits, and higher education settings. Each of these experiences have enriched my approach to counseling allowing me to provide compassionate support to women, adolescents, young adults, caregivers, and cancer patients. My goal is always to create a safe, empowering space where peopole feel understood and supported on their unique journey.
In my practice I use a trauma informed approach to ensure that every client feels safe and understood. By integrating cognitive behavioral therapy I help clients reframe thought patterns and develop healthier perspectives. I also incorprate mindfulness techniques to help people feel grounded and more present. Additionally, I utilize motivational interviewing to empower people to uncover their own strengths and motivations for change. In blending these approaches, I create a holistic client centered experience that fosters healing and growth. My goal is to empower each client to feel confident and supported on their path to their goals.
When we work together, you will find a welcoming and nonjudgemental enviroment where your voice is heard and valued. Our sessions are a collaborative space where we work together to explore your goals and find the best path forward.
Through my extensive work with the LGBTQIA+, neurodiverse communities, as well as with caregivers, adolescents, women, and young adults, I have cultivated a deep understanding and compassionate approach that honors each individuals unique journey. As someone who is neurodivergent, a cancer survivor, and a caregiver, I bring a unique perspective and a deep sense of empathy to my practice. This personal experience allows me to connect and provide a truly understanding and supportive environment. It enriches the way I offer care and aims to ensure that every client feels seen and understood.
