I’ve been teaching yoga for the past 11 years, and I’m constantly amazed by the connection it brings to the body, mind, and soul. Yoga is a gift I’m excited to share with others, encouraging individuals to feel “at home” in their own bodies. As a cancer survivor, I started gaining a deeper interest and understanding of eastern and holistic medicine, and finished my Master’s Degree in Ayurveda and Integrative Medicine early 2025!  I’ve done my clinical training in Iowa at the Integrative Wellness Center, receiving supervision from MD’s and Ayurvedic Doctors, seeing over 100 patients upon graduation.  I strive to empower people who come in with health concerns to learn about ways to activate their body’s own healing intelligence through the use of herbs, using food as medicine, and making healthy lifestyle changes.

SISU is a Finnish word that closely translates to strength of will, determination, and perseverance. Sisu is tapping into the strength beyond what you initially thought you had. As your therapist, I aim to help you find your sisu and overcome barriers keeping you from experiencing well-being and peace while providing the affirmation you need to feel supported.

My experience as a school social worker and a medical social worker in a tier-one trauma center has given me a well-rounded perspective of the unique challenges children, professionals, and adults experience in these settings. I specialize in evidence-based trauma treatment, family therapy, and multi-systemic therapy utilizing a holistic perspective.

I believe the counseling experience is a very personal, shared interaction, built on genuineness and empathetic understanding. My goal is to support and empower clients, while providing a space where they can be heard and accepted for who they are. I practice person centered trauma informed care, with a culturally and LGBTQIA+ affirming approach.

I have spent the last several years working as a counselor and educator within the school setting. This has given me a broad understanding of issues and challenges facing children and teens, as well as young adults. I am passionate about working with children, adolescents and young adults (through mid-twenties) and helping them navigate a variety of mental health issues.  My hope is to help clients to identify and utilize their strengths, resiliency, and potential so they are able to live authentically.

You don’t have to go through this alone, I am here to support you on your journey!

It is my intention to facilitate a collaborative, safe, and affirming counseling experience. Creativity is central to how I view the world and therefore is also at the heart of my approach to counseling. I enjoy incorporating experiential techniques centered around art, dream exploration, and building metaphors. These practices encourage expression, foster communication, and prompt insights that can create both individual and relational healing.

My approach when working with couples, families, and individuals is grounded in a family systems lens, where dynamics are identified, explored, and examined. Experiences and challenges are intertwined within the networks of family, culture, and community. My approach is focused on fostering connection, improving communication patterns, and considering generational narratives. I earned my Master of Arts in Counseling with a couples counseling concentration from Western Michigan University.

Dreams can offer a meaningful window into emotional experiences, relationships, and aspects of the self that may be difficult to access through conversation alone. When clients are interested, I incorporate dream work as a collaborative and creative process, exploring the personal meanings, symbols, and emotions that emerge.

I am committed to supporting clients in exploring facets of identity such as gender and sexual identity and creating a non-judgmental, sex-positive, LGBTQIA+ and kink-affirming space. Life-stage transitions (such as becoming a parent) can also prompt identity shifts that can be explored during therapy. I approach these conversations with curiosity and respect for each client's unique unfolding. I acknowledge that each identity is situated within their relationships and the broader societal systems.

Being witnessed in our experience is a basic human need. My style as a therapist is grounded, authentic, and open. Through dialog, psycho- education, and creative expression, I support clients in exploring their needs and collaborate in finding the right approach to meeting those needs. I believe in client agency and seek to support individuals’ inner wisdom. My hope is that clients walk away from therapy feeling more connected, to themselves and the world around them. A greater sense of agency, awareness of self, and ability to move more freely in their lives.

I have a background in early childhood and parent education and love supporting families. I specialize in grief support, expressive arts, and identity development. I'm passionate about supporting fellow members of the LGBTQIA+ community.
