In addition, I received specific training in career counseling helping adults explore new career opportunities, transition back into the workforce, and assisting college-age students in selecting majors.  I am trained in a variety of career-based assessments and inventories and have developed and implemented a unique approach  to assisting clients in meeting their career goals.

I am passionate about helping to empower women and children.  Previous experience includes working as a domestic violence and sexual assault trauma-based therapist at HAVEN of Oakland County.  I gained extensive training learning how to empower clients of all ages, to use mindfulness-based techniques to help manage anxiety, develop emotional and physical safety plans, and explore ways to live a life free from abuse. Focusing on repairing the attachment between mom and child, I used both play and filial therapy to help bring families closer together after the abuse had ended.

Outside of my professional career, I enjoy spending time with my husband and raising our wonderful daughter together.
