As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and an AASECT Certified Sex Therapist with 14 years of experience serving metro Detroit and Southeast Michigan, I am deeply committed to providing compassionate, evidence-based therapy. I genuinely appreciate each client who trusts me with their most personal challenges and strive to deliver exceptional care that creates lasting positive change.

My pronouns are she, her, and hers.

Professional Training & Credentials: I am a Michigan Licensed Professional Counselor and Certified Sex Therapist, bringing comprehensive training from respected institutions:

  • Oakland University: Bachelor's degree in Art History

  • Wayne State University: Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling & Art Therapy

  • University of Michigan: Sexual Health Certificate Program

This diverse educational foundation allows me to integrate creative therapeutic approaches with clinical expertise in sexual health and relationship counseling.

My Values & Therapeutic Approach: My practice is built on social justice principles and inclusive care. I believe that Black Lives Matter, all trans lives matter, and that abortion is essential healthcare. Gender is complex and exists on a spectrum, and I am a proud ally to LGBTQIA+ individuals and families. As a feminist therapist, I work to dismantle systems of oppression that impact my clients' wellbeing.

I am passionate about providing scientifically accurate sexual health information and believe that open, honest conversations about sexuality can transform lives and communities. Whether you're seeking individual therapy, couples counseling, or sex therapy in the metro Detroit area, I create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your authentic self.
