My Story
With over a decade of experience supporting healing and personal transformation, I bring together psychotherapy, hypnotherapy, subconscious work, and mind-body approaches to help clients create meaningful and lasting change. I earned dual bachelor’s degrees in Interpersonal Communication and Art from Eastern Michigan University before later pursuing my Master of Social Work degree through University of Michigan, where I obtained my LLMSW. I am also a graduate of the Clinical Hypnosis Institute and hold certification in medical hypnotherapy. My professional journey has included work with children and families through Northern Lakes Community Mental Health while continuing to grow my private practice, Auroratide Therapies.
My therapeutic approach is grounded in compassion, creativity, and the belief that emotional distress is often an adaptive response to life experiences rather than a personal flaw. I integrate traditional psychotherapy with trauma-responsive care, subconscious healing approaches, expressive modalities, and attachment-informed work to support clients across all ages and stages of life. Many people seek my care after feeling that more traditional approaches have not fully addressed their needs, and I am passionate about helping clients reconnect with resilience, clarity, and hope.
