What would be important for someone to know about working with you?

I provide a warm, welcoming, and safe space for all who enter my office. I meet clients where they are in life, and I believe them to be the experts of their own lives. I approach therapy with compassion, empathy, directness, and humor. I will challenge my clients, but I will not push them to delve into things they may not be ready for. Therapy is not a one-size-fits-all endeavor; it is tailored to each individual client. I collaborate with clients to develop appropriate treatment plan goals, build a strong therapeutic relationship, and work through whatever the client's agenda is. I am truly honored to walk alongside those who attend therapy. Bettering oneself is not easy, but it is absolutely a worthwhile journey.

In what ways have your personal experiences influenced your work with your clients?

I draw on my personal experiences, in an effort to connect with clients. I strive for my clients to see me as a normal person who has troubles, just like them. In my family, there are individuals who struggle with addiction. This helped me, when I was working in addiction settings and studying to become a Certified Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CAADC). I, myself, identify as neurodivergent, as I have ADHD and other disorders. Through my own challenges, I have developed healthy coping skills and ways to accommodate my differences; I thrive on passing these skills along to my clients.

What does a first session with you look like?

I provide a warm, welcoming, and safe space for clients who are sure to be nervous and/or unsure about therapy. I introduce myself, address the concepts of confidentiality and informed consent, and allow time for the client to ask me questions. The majority of the hour is spent with me asking questions of the client. I aim to gather as much information as I can, in an effort to form an understanding of whom it is I am working with. I assure the client that he/she can answer my questions with as little or as much information as they wish to share. I offer support, encouragement, and validation to clients. The client is given the opportunity to expand on their personal goals for therapy.

  • Michigan, Licensed Professional Counselor, 6401019687

Education

Western Michigan University, Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, Clinical Mental Health Counseling, 2019

Pursuing a master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling meant that I took classes pertaining to ethics, research, counseling techniques, and lifespan development. I completed one semester of in-school practicum and two semesters of an internship. During my internship, I worked with males convicted of sexual offenses, and I conducted group and individual therapy with them. I am now a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). After graduating, I worked in two different substance abuse treatment facilities, one with teens, and the other with adults. I became qualified as a Certified Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CAADC). Since 2021, I have practiced therapy in an outpatient setting. I am an active member of the Association for Addiction Professionals (NAADAC).

Work History

Immediately following graduation in 2019, I worked in a residential treatment facility for adolescents dealing with co-occurring disorders. Following that, I was employed at an inpatient rehabilitation center for detox and residential addiction treatment; this was with adult clients. These two employment opportunities allowed me to hone my skills as an addiction counselor with both teenagers and adults. Since 2021, I have been working as an independent contractor in an outpatient counseling setting. This grants me the luxury of forming long-term therapeutic alliances with a variety of clients. I actively treat a multitude of issues, such as addiction, mental health concerns, and day-to-day life stressors.
