Philosophy And Therapeutic Approaches:
Humanistic Psychology: In my practice, I believe in the innate capacity of every individual for growth, healing, and self-actualization. Grounded in empathy, genuineness, and unconditional positive regard, my therapeutic approach is rooted in Humanistic Psychology and emphasizing the importance of self-awareness, self-acceptance, and personal responsibility.
Psychodynamic Therapy: Psychodynamic therapy offers a unique opportunity to explore the underlying dynamics of your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. My specialization lies in providing insight-oriented talk therapy for individuals seeking to explore the root causes of their struggles and develop a deeper sense of self-awareness and insight. Whether you’re grappling with unresolved childhood issues, navigating transitions, or seeking to understand recurring patterns in your life, I am here to offer you support, guidance, and a listening ear.my approach is rooted in the belief that our past experiences and unconscious motivations shape our present thoughts and behaviors. Through insightful dialogue and exploration, I aim to help you gain a deeper understanding of yourself, uncover hidden patterns, and make meaningful changes in your life. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or existential questions, I am here to support you on your journey towards self-discovery and personal transformation.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): I believe that CBT is best suited for self motivated and individuals willing to put in the work, both in therapy and outside of sessions. CBT believes in the understanding that our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are interconnected. By identifying and challenging unhelpful beliefs and behaviors, we can create positive change and improve overall well-being. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, or relationship issues, I am here to provide you with the tools and guidance you need to achieve your goals. CBT is a highly effective therapy for a wide range of mental health concerns. My specialization lies in providing individualized treatment plans that integrate evidence-based techniques from CBT to address your unique needs and goals. Whether you’re looking to overcome specific phobias, break free from perfectionism, or manage overwhelming emotions, I am here to support you every step of the way.

Background
I received my Bachelor’s Degree in Social Work for Michigan State University in 2009 immediately followed by myMaster’s degree in Clinical Social Work from Michigan State University in 2011. I spent many years working in the emergency room specializing in assessment and crisis interventions. It was in those settings that I was able to recognize my desire to help facilitate and support change through outpatient work. I spent a few years working as a behavioral health care manager in primary care clinics before finally gaining the confidence and experience to open this practice with my colleague, mentor and co-owner, Tiffany Turner. When I am not working, I love to spend time with my husband, 2 daughters and dogs. In my free time I enjoy exercise, time on the lake and going to the zoo! My career is my passion and I feel honored that I get to spend it helping others.
