As a licensed clinical social worker offering telehealth therapy across Michigan, I understand the unique challenges faced by LGBTQIA+ individuals. My commitment to creating a safe, equitable, and affirming space is at the core of my practice. Building trust is essential in therapy, especially for LGBTQIA+ clients who may have encountered stigma or discrimination. I prioritize creating an environment where you can feel secure and validated.

From our very first session, I will:

Listen Actively: I will take the time to understand your unique experiences, feelings, and aspirations without judgment.
Respect Your Identity: I honor and affirm your gender identity and sexual orientation, using your chosen name and pronouns.
Provide Confidentiality: Your privacy is paramount. I ensure that all sessions are confidential, fostering a space where you can express yourself freely.

My approach to therapy is rooted in empathy and warmth. I believe in the potential within every individual and work collaboratively to support your journey toward personal growth. I focus on:

Strength-Based Approach: Together, we will identify and harness your strengths, empowering you to navigate challenges.
Creative Problem-Solving: I promote innovative strategies to help you address issues such as anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, and trauma.
Supportive Environment: My practice emphasizes connection, ensuring you feel comfortable exploring your experiences and aspirations.

In our initial sessions, we will collaboratively establish clear goals and develop actionable strategies tailored to your needs. With a background in case management and counseling, I have successfully assisted clients facing diverse challenges, including:

Mental Health Issues: Addressing anxiety, depression, and trauma in a way that respects your identity and experiences.
Parenting Challenges: As an accredited Triple P Level 4 Positive Parenting practitioner, I offer specialized support for navigating parenting in the context of your family’s dynamics.
If you’re ready to take the next step toward achieving your goals, I invite you to reach out. Together, we can create a path forward that is affirming, supportive, and tailored to your journey.

Your well-being is my priority, and I look forward to partnering with you on this important journey.
