But here's the thing: you don't have to navigate this alone. I offer comfortable space where you can unload all those thoughts swirling around in your head without judgment. I specialize in Anxiety/Trauma, Addiction, Eating Disorders. With a focus on the LGBTQ community and Healthcare professionals.

Finding joy starts with a single step, and reaching out is one of the bravest steps you can take. My role as your therapist is to guide you toward rediscovering the light within yourself—your joy, your strength, and your unique potential. Together, we’ll create a space where you feel seen, heard, and supported, as we gently untangle the patterns and barriers keeping you from living fully. Whether you’re struggling with self-doubt, anxiety, depression, or relationship challenges, I’m here to remind you that healing and growth are possible. Using a strength-based approach rooted in empathy and tailored techniques, I’ll support you as you take intentional steps toward the life you deserve—a life filled with clarity, confidence, and joy.

College is a time of incredible growth and opportunity, but it can also be incredibly challenging. Balancing academics, social life, and personal growth while navigating anxiety, past trauma, or body image concerns can feel overwhelming. You're not alone. As a therapist with over 20 years of experience, I specialize in supporting students just like you. I offer a safe and supportive space to explore these challenges, develop coping strategies, and build a more fulfilling college experience. If you're ready to prioritize your well-being, I encourage you to reach out.

College and young adult years can be both exciting and overwhelming. Many students and young adults find themselves managing anxiety, depression, or grief while also trying to keep up with academic demands, relationships, work, and expectations from family or themselves. Feeling stressed, burned out, unmotivated, or emotionally drained does not mean you are failing — it means you are human and navigating a lot at once. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Master of Arts in Professional Counseling. I work with college students, young adults, and adolescents using a client-centered, goal-oriented approach. Therapy is a collaborative process where we focus on what feels most pressing for you and develop practical strategies to help you cope more effectively with stress, emotions, and life transitions. I support individuals experiencing: * Anxiety and depression related to academic pressure, performance stress, and major life changes * Grief and loss, including losses that occur during college or early adulthood * Emotional overwhelm, burnout, difficulty with focus, and feeling “stuck” or disconnected * Relationship and family stress, especially as roles, independence, and boundaries shift * Autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, and behavioral concerns in adolescents and young adults I use evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and stress-reduction techniques to help clients build coping skills, improve emotional regulation, and gain clarity during challenging seasons. Therapy should feel supportive, nonjudgmental, and empowering. Whether this is your first time seeking counseling or you are returning to therapy, my goal is to create a space where you feel heard, understood, and supported as you work toward balance, confidence, and improved well-being.

I work with adults who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or not quite like themselves, often dealing with anxiety, low mood, or a lack of motivation. Many of the people I work with are navigating new life transitions, health concerns, relationship challenges, or stress related to work or school. My style is warm and collaborative, meeting you where you are and working alongside you. I take a holistic approach to therapy, getting to know you as a whole person, not just a set of symptoms. We’ll explore how things like emotions, relationships, physical health, sleep, and daily stressors all interact to affect your wellbeing. I draw on cognitive, behavioral, motivational, and mindfulness-based strategies. Together, we’ll get to the root of what’s contributing to how you’re feeling, build skills you can use in your everyday life, develop healthier ways of responding to difficult thoughts and emotions, and take small, consistent steps toward what matters most to you. It takes courage to reach out, and wherever you’re starting from, you’re welcome here. Therapy with me is a space where you can feel supported, understood, and accepted, while also working toward where you want to be. If you’re feeling stuck, we can work through it together.

I specialize in supporting high-achieving professionals—especially those in academia or the helping profession (doctors, nurses, therapists, pastors)—who grapple with perfectionism, difficulty setting boundaries, codependency, and the challenge of prioritizing their own needs amidst the many demands of their personal and professional lives. As an immigrant, I bring a rich, cross-cultural perspective to therapy and a deep appreciation for how culture shapes identity, relationships, and mental health. Many of my clients are navigating complex intersections of cultural expectations, academic roles, and personal values. In addition to my clinical practice, I am a professor and active researcher. My academic work focuses on interpersonal trauma and its impact on relationships and meaning-making. This dual identity as both clinician and scholar informs my approach: deeply reflective, integrative, and grounded in both science and lived experience. I work exclusively via Telehealth with adult clients residing in GA, MI, and TX. I believe that meaningful change begins with a strong therapeutic relationship—one that offers both safety and challenges patterns by providing direct and honest feedback. If you're ready to invest in yourself and your well-being, I invite you to reach out.

Creating a space that feels comfortable and friendly really helps clients open up and explore their thoughts and feelings more freely. Coupled with my various therapeutic techniques displays my well-rounded approach. That helps you reach your therapy goals, quickly.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Michigan and New York and a Professional Certified Coach (PCC) to practice worldwide. My work centers on processing and integrating our experiences and exploring their influence on our identities and our relationships with ourselves. I’m dedicated to supporting you in connecting with your inner world, understanding your emotions and experiences, exploring practices for embodied living, and rediscovering joy and play. My holistic approach considers the intersections of embodied living practices and liberation-centered care.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Michigan. My education consists of a Bachelor of Science in Psychology with a minor in Writing from Grand Valley State University and a Master of Arts in Counselor Education, Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Western Michigan University. My professional experience to date encompasses work with children, adolescents, young adults, women, men, families, couples, and groups. My clinical practice has spanned diverse settings, such as private practice, community mental health agencies, and university counseling centers. Individuals commonly seek therapeutic services to address a wide range of personal, emotional, professional, and relational challenges, among other issues impacting their well-being and development. My approach to therapy is rooted in an integrative framework with the client at the center and consists of assisting individuals in becoming more effective and self-reliant when resolving problems. I utilize a combination of different theoretical methods including Person-Centered Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Trauma Focused-Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT). My attention to detail has been crucial when assessing clients’ needs, understanding their unique situations, and tailoring interventions to help them succeed and excel in different facets of their lives. I pride myself on supporting the needs of those I work with with respect, empathy, and gentleness. Some of my clinical areas of interest include anxiety, depression, trauma, self-compassion, identity development, relationship concerns, family matters, adjusting to change, and advocating for underserved/underrepresented populations. As a Black woman, I take pride in providing culturally sensitive services and support amongst all populations I work with. Compassion, active listening and responsiveness have helped me in building strong therapeutic relationships with my clients. My intention in therapy is to develop a secure and reassuring space to uplift clients while promoting advocacy and empowerment as they work towards their personal goals along their mental health and wellness journey. I do so by fostering resilience, coping skills, and self-awareness through open dialogue, effective treatment planning, and skill introduction and implementation in sessions. Through a collaborative therapeutic relationship, I aspire to support individuals in creating positive, lasting changes in their lives. In an effort to maintain my own mental health and overall wellbeing I like to engage in self-care by spending time with my loved ones, listening to music and podcasts, attending concerts and live shows, exercising (I love Step Aerobics and trying random classes), journaling, going on solo dates, traveling, exploring new spaces and activities, creative projects, sleeping in on off days, and spending time in solitude (I'm an introvert and sometimes have to recharge my social battery). Just as I encourage clients to nurture their inner world, I remain committed to my own growth and balance—believing that a grounded therapist creates the safest space for transformation to unfold. I believe that healing is not a one-size-fits all process, and I am honored to walk alongside each client as they reclaim their voice, deepen their self understanding, and move toward a life that feels more whole, empowered, and true to them.
