MA Clinical Counseling - Western Michigan University

My personal life journey has inspired me to join others as they maneuver the up's and down's that encompass our unique lived experiences. I have a passion to accompany others as they navigate life's challenges to help instill positivity and strength. Encouraging the innate strength that comes from within each and every one of us. I am so grateful to be able to join others where they are to support them on this journey that we call life.

When I am not working, I enjoy spending time outdoors and with loved ones, including my dog Ollie. I enjoy boating, hiking, exploring new places, going to the gym, reading, and trying new foods!

My Approach

My approach varies based on the client as I feel that therapy should be suited to each person's individual needs and interests. That being said, my approach thus far has incorporated cognitive-behavioral therapy, strengths-based therapy, solution-focused therapy, play therapy, and mindfulness-based approaches. I put a large emphasis on building therapeutic rapport in the early sessions, taking time to get to know my clients to determine what therapeutic styles may be the most effective for their healing and growth.

What You Can Expect

You can expect a space where you are valued and heard without judgement. I prioritize meeting you where you are at by getting to know what ways help you to learn and grow the best, as this looks different for everybody. This includes a large amount of autonomy over the structure and style of each session as I want it to be a space where you can comfortably share your story. Once strong therapeutic rapport is built we will work collaboratively to set goals and work to make changes dedicated to healing and growth in your life.
