I am a Limited Licensed Professional Counselor (LLPC) practicing in Michigan at Deepwater Counseling. I completed a Bachelor of Science in Public Relations from Eastern Michigan University and a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Eastern Michigan University, a CACREP-accredited university in southeastern Michigan. I spent a few years in the public relations field, before deciding to pursue counseling. I have interned counseling at Deepwater Counseling for a year prior to making this my professional home. Both my academic and professional career have given me training in working with clients who have depression, anxiety, couples, family, and interpersonal relationship issues, stress related issues, anger issues, crisis counseling, grief counseling, life transitions, and a variety of other areas of counseling. I work with clients of all backgrounds, all religions, and communities. My approach to counseling is to meet my clients where they are, allowing for an opportunity to collaborate with my clients in determining how best to approach their needs. I simply ask that clients go into therapy with an open mind and are open to the process. This allows for guided conversation, with an empathetic, third-party in a completely safe, judgment-free, and collaborative environment. My goal is to provide an environment where you feel comfortable and supported. I have worked with clients both in-person and virtually. We will work on identifying goals that are important to you and help you explore ways you can achieve those goals. If at any time, you find that this therapeutic process is not meeting your needs, you have a right to request a change in direction or discontinue treatment. I look forward to meeting and working with you.
