I feel so heard and understood without having to over explain. She understands and offers sound advice while explaining the reasoning of it. She ask’s important questions during sessions but it feels natural, like a conversation between friends but with the best help that I need and I feel so much better while speaking to her and afterwards like a weight has been lifted. She even offers to send me information, if I would like, and as soon as our session is over it arrives within a few minutes. I feel heard, validated, and confident to deal with the situations I have.

I am a licensed professional counselor in Michigan with over 25 years of experience working with individuals, couples and families. Clients I have worked with have presented areas of concern including relationship issues involving marriage, separation and families, stress, anxiety and those working through addiction problems . I have recently spent significant time with members of the military community who are dealing with life issues including anxiety, job stress, and marriages .
My therapy style is about problem solving , solution focused and helping to give a person additional tools to problem solve in the future. My approach is a combination of reality - choice therapy and cognitive-behavioral therapy. And I help clients to look at life moving forward.
It is often difficult to take that first step for change. But if you are not happy are facing a life altering change and looking to find a more satisfying life and want one that is less stressful and more peaceful, I am here to help you with those first steps and offer you support and encouragement. I look forward to working with you!

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
