Do you experience stress, worry, or panic? Does anxiety interfere with your pursuit of personal and academic/professional goals? I can help you overcome your fears and help you live a more meaningful and fulfilling life. My goal is to provide a compassionate environment in which my clients can learn strategies to attain greater life satisfaction and well-being. My areas of expertise include Anxiety Disorders (generalized anxiety and worry, social anxiety, panic disorder, agoraphobia, and specific phobias), Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, and Body Focused Repetitive Behaviors (compulsive hair pulling and skin picking). I also support parents who are experiencing anxiety or OCD during the perinatal period. I will collaborate with you to develop a treatment approach that meets your needs. Through evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), we'll work together to reduce your distress, build healthy coping skills, and restore a sense of balance in your life.

Do you feel... stuck in life? ...unsatisfied with relationships? ...like there's got to be something better?...desiring to change, but not sure how? ... frustrated with dealing with the same issues over and over? You can move forward, learn how to communicate and connect, experience deeper intimacy, freedom and change. If you are interested in integrating your Christian faith into treatment, we can do so in thoughtful and intentional ways. Bring your "stuff" and we'll unpack it together; you can decide if you'd like to adjust, keep or toss coping skills to make room for new ones. We will partner to develop your goals and the way to a better life. If you are looking for transformation, we can explore the root causes and triggers of recurring thoughts and behaviors!

Immediate openings; Licensed in Iowa, Michigan, and Minnesota! I believe that everyone can benefit from having a warm, genuine therapist by their side as they work through difficult feelings or experiences. I aim to help my clients increase their self-awareness and insight to make meaningful changes in their lives. I help my clients explore their goals, strengths, values, and help my clients reflect on beliefs and thought patterns that may no longer serve them. I enjoy using humor with my clients, make sure to celebrate successes throughout the therapeutic journey, and use a balance of challenging and encouragement to foster growth. I understand that everyone's needs of a therapist are different. Prioritizing a safe, nonjudgmental space for those I work with, I use a person-centered approach to collaborate with my clients to create a therapeutic experience that works best for them. Making the decision to start therapy can feel overwhelming, and it is important to feel as though your therapist is a good match. I am here to answer any questions about the therapeutic process you may have and to discuss how we could work together to reach your goals.

“Sometimes the smallest step in the right direction ends up being the biggest step of your life. Tip toe if you must. But take the step” – unknown. Maneuvering through life’s troubled waters can sometimes be overwhelming. In today’s hectic fast-paced world sometimes it’s good to let your guard down, relax, and release all those emotions and troubles in a safe, comfortable environment. I am ready to help you heal, explore, and gain insight into resolving any issues to live a more serene, well-balanced life. I am passionate about helping clients bring back the laughter, confidence, and security. I am caring and committed with comprehensive treatments designed for each individual I work with. I have experience in working with individuals of diverse backgrounds in all stages of life from childhood issues to adolescence to adulthood. I have assisted individuals experiencing emotional and behavioral impairments as well as those struggling with adjusting to life’s hurdles and transitioning into new beginnings. Graduating from Michigan State University with my Masters in Social Work has given me the opportunity to work in such a rewarding field allowing me to walk beside those seeking a brighter life.

I enjoy working with students who are open to working on developing coping skills between sessions and who recognize that sometimes growth is uncomfortable. My particular areas of interest are trauma, grief, and relationships. I hope you’ll give us a call or stop in today.

I’m excited to work with college students during this unique part of their journey in life. I specialize in trauma, drug abuse, and of course mental health concerns such as depression and anxiety. So feel free to call/text/e-mail me today to answer any questions you may have about therapy.

Being a student can be tough! Balancing classes, friends, and work while adjusting to a new living situation. Maybe even feeling less confident when we never struggled in that area before. Sometimes we don't recognize that we are struggling with anxiety or depression...and that there is help! If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, self-confidence, difficulties with managing emotions, I can help! You don't need to know how therapy works. We will talk and get to know each other, then sort out together the areas where you can grow strengths to match your new experience.

At Relational Insight we empower clients to increase life fulfillment through growth, acceptance, and healthy relationships. Our therapists help clients who are struggling and curious about observed patterns of behavior (such as perfectionism, isolation, avoidance or procrastination, substance use, conflict and relationship dynamics) or patterns of emotions (such as fear/anxiety, sadness, overwhelm, identify confusion, anger/irritability, and self-criticism). We also help clients interested in making connections between their past and present such as better understanding and healing past traumas or abuse. Therapy helps clients capitalize on their strengths and self-knowledge to make changes and live with intention.

I specialize in working with college students, young adults, individuals, and couples navigating trauma, academic stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, substance use, and life transitions. I have experience providing services in College Counseling and Psychological Services settings, where I’ve supported students through personal, relational, and academic challenges. My approach is trauma-informed and integrative. I use EMDR along with other evidence-based modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Internal Family Systems (IFS), to support holistic healing and emotional well-being. I strive to create a compassionate, collaborative space where clients can process their experiences, build resilience, and move toward meaningful change.

Life can sometimes be a whirlwind. As a therapist, I am very passionate about to providing a non-judgmental supportive space that empowers clients to regain a sense of control and balance over their lives. I believe everyone has the ability to spark positive changes, we just may need some understanding and encouragement to do so. We may often feel alone and seeking help can be difficult. Therapy is meant to be a space for you to focus on your challenges, goals, and aspirations. We often don’t get many spaces to just focus on our own personal self improvements. I look forward to collaborating with you on your health and wellness journey.

Are you trying to reach your goals, but feel like you're running in circles? I can help with improving your happiness, addressing a problem-area in your life, or whatever else you want to focus on. One-size-fits-all counseling doesn't work, so I individualize each client's experience based on what works best for them. I believe in a mind-body-spirit approach where we have to take care of all three to feel truly fulfilled, which is why I also offer Christian counseling. I have a Master of Arts in counseling (MAC). In addition, I'm a fully licensed practicing counselor (LPC), a Certified Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CAADC), and Substance Abuse Professional (SAP). I've also been trained directly through the Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR) Institute. Warmth and insight are the foundation of our sessions, especially as I understand we all need someone to be ourselves with. Life can be challenging at times, but we don't have to go through it alone. I became a counselor because of my passion for helping others, so please don’t hesitate to contact me with any questions or for more information!

One of my favorite quotes is " Life ain't always beautiful, but it's a beautiful ride." I have often found that life can throw you a curveball when you least expect it, and it is often hard to navigate those challenges on your own. Have you ever found yourself feelings anxious, overwhelmed, or depressed about things going on in your life? What if you could have an unbiased, safe space to openly express those thoughts or feelings without needing to censor yourself or fear judgement. That is what I do, provide a safe space where you can feel empowered to openly express yourself and work towards achieving your goals. I have been a social worker for 26 years, helping individuals navigate on-going struggles in their lives such as anxiety, depression, life transitions, end of life, and grief. I utilize talk therapy and humor to assist my clients in working through their thoughts/fears and help them learn new approaches for coping with life's challenges.

Navigating this new life as a student can be difficult. You are experiencing many different changes, while keeping up with all that is required of you in your classes. It is all overwhelming. This is where talking to someone who specializes in managing stress, depression, anxiety and so much more can help you achieve success. I am passionate about working with students throughout their college careers and beyond. Obtaining a higher education is a huge achievement, but that doesn't mean it doesn't come without stress and hardships. I am here to help you reach your goals and overcome any roadblocks in the process. Opening up individually or within a group will allow for growth in many areas. Connections-U is an online group with a goal to foster connections with those who are struggling with similar issues such as depression, anxiety, boundaries, motivation, self-esteem, guilt & shame, anger management, grief & loss, thinking errors, codependency, addiction, time management, life adjustment and much, much more! The group meets once per week to gain support from peers through group discussion. The group is educational and interactive focusing on a different topic each week to gain skills and better regulate emotions. Space is limited, contact me today to reserve your spot.

Do you ever feel like you keep landing in the same relationship pattern, even with different people? Or maybe something feels off in a way you can't quite name yet. That's usually where we start. I work with individuals and couples, especially people who've felt unheard or misunderstood in past therapy, or in life generally, including those in helping professions, therapists, nurses, teachers, pastors, who are so used to holding everyone else that they've forgotten someone can hold them too. A lot of what we'll work on comes back to self-worth, the root of most of what people bring into my office, whether it shows up as relationship drama, burnout, or a quiet sense of "something's wrong with me." I use CBT and DBT, not in a worksheet-y way, more like practical tools for when things get hard. You don't need to have it all figured out here, just show up as you are. I'm bilingual (¡hablo español!) and licensed in Michigan and Virginia, seeing clients in person and virtually. If this sounds like you, I'd love to hear your story.
