About My Clients

Are you or your child struggling with anxiety and/or depression? I specialize in helping pre-teen (12) to adults with tough situations such as depression, anxiety, overwhelming stress, and school related issues. It can be difficult discussing big, negative emotions and feelings. Through the counseling process, clients can become aware of what is occurring in their lives and understand the underlying feelings that they are experiencing and feel more in control of their lives.

My Background and Approach

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Michigan. I received his Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Aquinas College and his Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology from the University of Dayton. I have been practicing in a private practice setting with a specialization in teen and young adult dynamics for 4 years. I utilize a variety of therapeutic models including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy , Mindfulness and Cognitive Behavioral techniques. I personalize the techniques used and topics explored to the needs and nature of the client. I work to make my clients feel comfortable and that they own their therapeutic process by discussing topics they are passionate about, their strengths, and THEIR goals for counseling. In working with me, I will strive to help you find the wellness, confidence, and happiness you deserve.
