TransformationalChoices

My services are designed to work with individuals, couples or groups, along with their therapist in order to set and achieve specific goals.  Together we will overcome obstacles and increase your focus on goal attainment.  We will break down your goals into manageable steps so you can accomplish your goal and present your best self.  These services are designed to help in your career development, focus on your well being, or increase your leadership skill set.

I am a disability-informed practitioner, and am experienced in empowering individuals to explore strategies to fully engage in their communities, and grow in their identities.  I also have significant experience supporting people through career challenges and life transitions.

I utilize a number of modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness, and Motivational Interviewing. I recognize that oppressive systems contribute to mental health disparities among marginalized groups, and work from a strengths-based, feminist, anti-racist perspective.

My person-centered approach will respect you as the expert in your own lived experience as we set and achieve specific goals together. 

My goal is to create a welcoming environment for everyone I work with and to provide a safe, comfortable space to help you grow. Every individual is unique in their own way and requires their own personalized plan, as a result, I utilize a variety of therapy methods depending on what works best for the client. You and I will work together to develop an individualized treatment plan around your specific needs and goals. Together, we can work to decrease symptoms of anxiety and depression, process trauma, adjust to major life changes, increase overall wellbeing, and/or work through anything else that is causing distress in your life.

I am also a sex-positive, kink-aware therapist with a Certificate in Sex Therapy from the University of Michigan Sexual Health Certificate Program. I am ready to work with you on improving sexual functioning and developing a satisfying relationship with sex. I look forward to helping you work toward accomplishing your goals.

Thank you for taking the time to learn more about me and the work I do. As a therapist, I strive to create a space where you feel truly seen, heard, and supported. My goal is to help you navigate life’s challenges with compassion and understanding, while empowering you to take meaningful steps toward the life you envision for yourself. I believe that progress happens at your pace, and I am here to walk alongside you every step of the way. 

I specialize in working with individuals and families navigating various life challenges, including adoption, family transitions, parenting, and relationship issues. I bring extensive experience from the child welfare system, supporting children, adults, and families in foster care and adoption through Michigan’s court system. Whether you're dealing with stress, self-esteem, depression, or relationship struggles, I am here to help you explore your needs, understand your challenges from different perspectives, and discover the best solutions for your unique situation.

My therapeutic approach is rooted in understanding and connection. I use a range of modalities, including mindfulness and relational techniques, to help you explore your issues deeply and holistically. Together, we can navigate life’s complexities and help you connect with your inner strengths and spiritual self.

If you're ready to take the next step in your journey, I’m here to support you.

Welcome and congratulations on taking the next step in your healing journey! Change is not always easy but with holistic, compassionate support, change is doable. I would consider it an honor to walk alongside as you embark on the road to rediscovering your authentic self. Together we can address depression, anxiety, trauma, CPTSD, grief and loss, and relational issues. I am passionate about working with caregivers but I invite adult individuals from all backgrounds. I approach person-centered therapy from the perspective that values free will, the uniqueness of each individual, and the strengths each individual possesses to affect life changes.  I use a mix of techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Reality Therapy, as well as other evidenced-based interventions/activities to shape an adaptable mental health wellness plan specific to your needs. I wish you success on your journey to wholeness.

Hello! Choosing to explore therapy is a brave act of self-care, and I commend you for it! I know it can be scary to take this vulnerable step, to process through challenging circumstances, to ask for the help you’ve never gotten. I respect the resilience that has brought you this far. Instead of telling you that I’m a “safe space,” I commit to showing you through our work together that you are seen, heard, and supported. My goal is to work myself out of a job by empowering you to live your most meaningful life! I draw on trauma- and attachment-informed approaches, CBT, DBT, ACT, mindfulness, and narrative therapy, but more than anything, I believe that having a validating, supportive presence can be the most powerful tool for change! Also, if you love pop culture as much as I do, we can absolutely weave your favorite shows, movies, or characters into our sessions to make our sessions the most meaningful to you. I look forward to hearing your story soon.

Through our therapy sessions we will create an open, safe and non-judgmental environment. I focus on having a person centered approach and meet clients where they are at. Over time this allows us to unlock individualized goals, address concerns and achieve overall growth. You are not alone in this journey. It's not easy asking for help, my goal is to make those next steps a little easier.

I will collaborate with you in building skills to help you reach your goals. I’m here to listen and create a safe space grounded in a trauma-informed and strengths-based perspective to help you find a balance in life and feel more at ease. I specialize in helping adults and teenagers cope with burnout which can manifest in symptoms of anxiety and/or mood disorders or substance use. I use various techniques based on your needs, such as Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy.  I also use a warm, culturally conscious approach that allows you to understand how to create more self-compassion in your life.

My approach to counseling is founded on my belief that a safe and comfortable environment is necessary in order for it to be effective. Together we can discover the tools you need to achieve your goals and develop a lifestyle conducive to healing and self-actualization.

I employ a trauma-informed approach along with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy and person-centered therapy to shape interventions and treatment goals. I look forward to walking with you on this journey of discovery and growth, as we explore potential paths that will lead to long-lasting, positive change.

Seeking a supportive space to feel heard and understood? Whatever you are dealing with, you can expect a collaborative, accepting environment that focuses on your strengths and provides a place for processing. Driven by your goals and needs, our work together can lead to a renewed sense of self, build confidence, and develop skills for navigating difficult situations.

I offer holistic, individual counseling and use an eclectic approach that incorporates techniques from Solution-Focused, Cognitive Behavioral, and Adventure therapies within a strengths-based, empowerment framework. I practice from a client-centered, trauma informed, and anti-oppression perspective.

James Baldwin said, “Not everything that is faced can be changed. But nothing can be changed until it is faced.” This work is hard but important, and I hope we can face it together.

Hello there! I am a therapist with a passion for working with individuals from a client-centered, strengths-based, trauma-informed, anti-oppressive approach. I believe any and all mental health concerns are a normal part of the human experience, and often an expected part of today’s complicated society. I have a passion for working with young adults, students, individuals from BIPOC communities, and much more! I aim to create a space where you can feel comfortable being your authentic self, working collaboratively with you to explore whatever you need in order to rebuild or heal.

Oftentimes, the organizational structures and culture of society can have a significant effect on an individual or communities wellbeing. As a therapist, I recognize these effects and I aim to make space for clients to communicate these things. I look forward to working alongside you, being a small part in your journey.
