Helping you navigate life's challenges with experience, compassion and proven strategies for change.

Experience

I bring over 35 years of professional counseling experience. I specialize in treating substance abuse, behavioral health concerns, anxiety, and mood disorders. With a Doctorate in Counselor Education from Oakland University and certifications in addiction treatment and intervention strategies, I’m deeply committed to guiding adolescents, adults, couples, and families toward meaningful change.

Therapy Approach

I approach therapy with honesty, enthusiasm, and a client-first philosophy. I believes that sustainable change comes from strong partnerships between therapist and client, working as a team to foster growth and resilience.

My style integrates evidence-based methods with individualized care, blending techniques such as:

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
  • Motivational Interviewing
  • Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT)
  • Psychodynamic and Humanistic approaches
  • Trauma-Focused Therapy

Every session is tailored to fit your unique goals, strengths, and challenges. If you're looking for a therapist who will truly partner with you on your journey, I'm here to help.
