My education consists of a Master’s Degree in Counseling Psychology from Western Michigan University and a Bachelor’s Science degree in Business Management. I pursued additional training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and completing advanced Dialectical Behavioral Therapy training. As a licensed LLP in the state of Michigan, I am trained to diagnose and treat mental illness as well as perform psychological evaluations. I receive supervision from a fully licensed psychologist.
My experience includes administering neuropsychological assessments and working with clients and families who are struggling with anxiety, depression, adjustment disorders, dementias, concussions, traumatic brain injuries and various medical conditions. This work has been with children, pre-teens, adolescents, adults and the elderly.
My passion is to assist individuals moving through life transitions and coping with personal challenges. I ensure a warm, non-judgmental setting is provided for clients to feel safe sharing their story. I proactively engage clients in a collaborative environment to identify desired goals and develop a plan to achieve wellness. Based upon each client’s needs, I utilize various therapeutic approaches to reach the identified goals.
