I’m a therapist and nonprofit consultant with more than 25 years of experience working in Southeast Michigan (AnnArbor/Detroit/Ypsilanti) supporting individuals through life’s most challenging transitions and leading mission-driven organizations. My approach is shaped by both my professional path and the lived experiences that have taught me resilience, empathy, and the importance of meeting people where they are.
I attended Eastern Michigan University for both my Bachelors (97) and Masters (04) degrees in Social Work. Learning to work in the community alongside individuals, forging meaningful relationships, has been an important part to my growth as a helper and a human. I value the diversity of race, culture, language and identity that are embedded in our communities and the richness it gives to all of us living here.
My approach balances therapeutic support with psychosocial education, bringing extensive knowledge of family dynamics, managing challenges and change and finding our space, voice, and some joy in today's challenging world.
Unconditional Positive Regard - genuinely listening to meet you where you are in your thought and feeling process.
Authenticity - I come as myself...there's nothing more or less that I can be.
Empathy - being able to sit with you, and find understanding, with whatever it is you are experiencing.
I believe showing up as a genuine, compassionate human being is as important as any intervention or technique.
Having intentional space to slow down, reflect, and explore your thoughts and feelings without judgment.
Therapy is a place where you can safely say out loud the things you’ve been holding in, including the beliefs or fears that may be keeping you stuck.
When we give voice to what we carry, we create the opportunity to better understand it, challenge it, and transform it.
Ultimately, my role is to walk alongside you—providing a safe, grounded, and supportive space where healing, insight, and meaningful change can unfold.
