Seeing a counselor can be an intimidating experience, I aim to provide a comfortable, safe, and respectful space. I believe everyone has a unique story. My goal is to help each client explore the good and bad from their life, primarily focusing on the skills and strengths they already possess to help them overcome any struggles and distress.

As a counselor I approach each client holistically, believing that our lives are shaped by our physical, emotional, intellectual, social, and spiritual experiences. I strive to utilize all aspects of a client’s life to help them achieve their goals. Many techniques may be used in my practice, but are based on a person-centered foundation, believing that the therapeutic relationship is vital to effective counseling. I can offer my years of life experience in addition to my formal training as a counselor to provide empathy and understanding to clients.

I work with clients from a wide range of backgrounds and experiences, where we can comfortably explore life issues such as Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, Grief, LGBTQAI+, Family Dynamics, Self-Esteem, Emotional Dysregulation, Anger Management, Transitions in life such as Career, Family, Relationship, Parenthood, Gender, Faith.

I am a Limited Licensed Counselor (LLC), with a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Oakland University. Preceding my master’s program, I received my undergraduate degree in Community Health Promotion and Education at the University of Utah.
