I am currently accepting clients on a short-term basis for crisis counseling. Sliding scale and pro bono services available. My availability is flexible and I offer in person (East Lansing) and Telehealth. I work to help people navigate their complex worlds in order to live a healthier, happier life. I believe that all components of one's life are interrelated. Stress, crisis, life changes and uncertainty happen to everyone, often without warning. When crisis or chaos strike, it is comforting to have someone listen in a safe, open, non-judgmental space in which you can uncover the inner strengths and skills you already possess. I work with clients to create this environment, through which genuine healing, change, and self-empowerment can occur.
Welcome! I am ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS... Most of my clients express feeling heard & hopeful after our first session. I believe a strong client-therapist connection is crucial in therapy. Finding the right therapist can be challenging and my goal is to make that process as comfortable as possible. It is natural to feel overwhelmed by life at times. Together we will create a personalized treatment plan with a focus on the whole person (mind and body), as every person & experience is unique. I utilize a strengths-based approach to help people identify what they are already doing well, and help them see & build on that potential. Small changes can make a big impact. I have specialized training in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TFCBT) & Mindfulness-based stress reduction. Speciality areas include: relationship/family concerns, college/graduate student-related concerns, young adults, trauma history, anxiety, stress management, self care, pregnancy/pre/post-natal support & adjustment to life transitions. I am an independently licensed therapist and obtained my Master of Social Work from Loyola University Chicago in 2008. I enjoy spending time with my children and family outdoors, playing sports, yoga, and traveling. I look forward to getting to know you, and am available to answer any questions you might have!

I believe that health and wellness are best achieved by addressing the whole person, not simply the condition, adverse event or illness/disease. This holistic approach to care respects the individuality of persons, their environments and their physical and emotional needs. The therapeutic relationship is important and necessary in order to move forward in your areas of stagnation. This collaborative effort will allow for exploration when determining which therapeutic approach best matches your identified goals based on symptoms, personality and experiences. My approach is collaborative, warm, engaging and directive. I utilize evidenced based practices and interventions to assist you in meeting your treatment goals and needs. We will develop realistic and obtainable goals along with skill building. Therapy is hard work! Building your best self takes time. I look forward in walking alongside you on this journey.
“You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.” -Buddha If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem or stress related to life transitions, I am here to help. I can teach you how to communicate your wants and needs in healthy ways. We will go at a pace that feels right for you. I have over 18 years of experience working in both inpatient and outpatient substance-abuse treatment settings including: rehabilitation, detoxification, methadone and suboxone clinics, and county jail substance use treatment. I have also facilitated substance use and DBT group therapy, and skills-building group therapy for elementary-aged children.
You know life has ups and downs, but the challenges you are facing can make it feel like an endless rollercoaster. Whether you are struggling with 'adulting' or other life changes, I completely understand your need for life to be easier. Through our time together, you can begin to feel a sense of calm and get back on track to living a purposeful life. As a therapist specializing in life changes & anxiety, I am committed to helping you find more life balance and a sense of inner peace. I work with both individuals and families. With two decades of experience, you can rest easy knowing you are in capable hands. Your life is hectic and choosing a therapist can be overwhelming. I want you to receive the best possible care, which means working with the RIGHT therapist (not just some random name from a list). That’s why I offer a free call to help you decide. If I'm not a fit, I can provide you with referrals. I primarily work with young adults and other helping professionals (teachers, nurses, physicians, and other therapists) who may be struggling with anxiety, perfectionism, family problems, and/or navigating difficult life changes. My clients typically begin to experience gradual relief within 2 months of weekly sessions. I utilize an integrative approach to therapy with strategies from many effective treatment types including ACT, Brainspotting, IFS Informed Parts Work, and Motivational Interviewing. You can expect your experience to be welcoming & casual (never super stuffy or formal). I believe in honoring each person's strengths & consciously creating a space where you can feel free to be your authentic self. Walk & Talk sessions are available in Flagstaff during summer months and in Chandler in the winter. **Now partnering with Mentaya for help in submitting your out-of-network insurance claims.

There comes a time when we all need support in remembering who we are. So many of us have learned to shrink, perform, or lose ourselves in order to belong. This can leave us feeling disconnected, lonely, overwhelmed, or unsure of who we are beneath the roles we've learned to carry. You may be thoughtful, capable, deeply feeling, and exhausted from carrying so much. Many of the individuals I work with are highly sensitive, often therapists, healers, helpers, and cycle-breakers, longing for deeper authenticity, secure attachment, meaningful relationships, self-trust, and a more wholehearted connection with themselves and their lives. My approach to therapy is warm, relational, holistic, and depth-oriented. Together we explore patterns, wounds, relationships, and nervous system responses keeping you stuck while helping you reconnect with your authentic self. I integrate attachment-based therapy, mindfulness, parts work, and somatic awareness to support healing and healthier relationships. Healing often begins when we no longer feel the need to hide who we are in order to feel loved, accepted, or safe. Therapy can become a space to slow down, breathe, reconnect with yourself, and begin creating change from the inside out. You do not have to navigate everything alone. I would be honored to walk alongside you in the process.
Best fit for individuals experiencing stress, PTSD, depression, anxiety, relationship problems, as well as support with parenting challenges and life transitions. Main treatment models I provide are CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) as well as CPT (Cognitive processing therapy) which is a specific type of cognitive behavioral therapy that has been effective in reducing symptoms of PTSD. Together, we can explore solutions and positive growth. A brief therapy model is NOT compatible treatment for crisis, psychiatric emergencies, legal issues, active addictions, severe and persistent mental illness including suicidal or self-injurious behavior, nor those with histories of recent hospitalizations.
Therapy should be a place where you can fully be yourself, feel heard and supported. That is the type of atmosphere I try to create within sessions. With a person-centered approach we will work on the matters that are most important to you and find interventions that work in your life. Therapy can be hard and challenging, I will be by your side the entire way to provide support, validation and new approaches to help you handle the hard times. I am passionate about helping others find more laughter and joy from their life. People are often more resilient than they think and it is never too late to try and create a more fulfilling life. Prior to working in private practice I spent several years working for a community mental health. There I worked as an outpatient therapist. I worked with children, families and adults with issues such as depression, anxiety, family conflict, as well as financial stressors and life stressors. During my time there I also did significant amounts of work with people who have lived through trauma.
Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards. – Soren Kierkegaard Reaching out for help to deal with the struggles of life can be scary. I applaud you for taking the first step in your journey. I like to think of therapy as a safe space to be you, the real authentic you. I am passionate about working with individuals looking to improve aspects of life that are less than desirable. My goal for the client’s therapeutic process is to assist and support with understanding their needs, and coping with issues of communication, life stressors, self-esteem, anxiety, depression, trauma, or other needs. I use psycho-educational strategies and mindfulness-based practices to help you reduce your stress and anxiety while resolving issues. Therapy is a partnership and you are the expert. I am here to help guide you toward your goals. I received my Master of Science in Social Work from The University of Louisville. I have past experiences with family preservation, crisis, domestic violence, children, couples, older adults, and young adults.

Welcome! I’m glad you found me. I really enjoy working with college students, and I take a warm, relational approach to therapy. I love to laugh with clients, hear their life stories, and help them process their thoughts and experiences without judgment. As a therapist, some of my specialty areas include anxiety, depression, grief work, self esteem, stress management, life transitions, and identity exploration. In my work, I help people better connect with their thoughts and bodies, discover and challenge unhelpful thinking patterns, and move towards greater understanding and acceptance.

I see clients both virtually and in-person, and I'd love to connect. I completed my master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Western Michigan University, and I have additional trainings in trauma-informed care and somatic interventions for anxiety.

I approach therapy with a warm, collaborative, and person-centered style, focusing on building genuine relationships that foster trust and growth. I strive to create a safe and supportive environment where clients feel heard, valued, and understood. I believe growth occurs through authentic connection and self-exploration, and I work alongside clients to help them recognize their strengths, gain insight into their experiences, and make meaningful changes in their lives. Before joining Therapy Today, I gained experience working with children, college students, adults, and older adults in a variety of settings. My background includes providing individual and group counseling, conducting psychological assessments, and supporting clients with concerns such as anxiety, stress, life transitions, and identity development. I have also worked with individuals with disabilities and facilitated an LGBTQ+ support group. These experiences have strengthened my ability to meet clients where they are and provide compassionate, evidence-based care tailored to their unique needs. Outside of my work as a therapist, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, being outdoors, and staying active. I’m passionate about continual learning and personal growth, and I often find inspiration through reading and creative outlets. I value meaningful connections and believe that authenticity and balance are essential both in and outside the therapy room. These experiences help me relate to clients with empathy and understanding as they navigate their own challenges and seasons of growth.
