We believe that you are the master of your own life, and we believe that therapy is a joint process that we can navigate together. We cannot "fix" you or tell you what you "should" do. The journey is yours. We can be a support, and provide a safe space. We can guide you in learning and using tools which will allow you to better manage your symptoms and create and maintain healthy boundaries with yourself and others. The tools you learn and develop while you are going through your therapeutic journey are meant to also allow you to improve your ability to self-soothe, create and maintain healthier boundaries in your relationships, make decisions more effectively, and to better support, assert, and advocate for yourself once therapy ends. You are capable. Our mission is to provide more accessible services to underserved clients, particularly in the LGBTQIA+ community, folx with neurodivergence, racial and ethnic minorities, and for other underserved populations who lack access to in-person services, or lack access to counselors competent in these areas due to living in areas that are smaller, more rural, or more conservative.

Why does insight alone, not lead to congruence between what you want and what you do? This is a question we would explore together. My areas of interest and experience include anxiety and depression, relationship difficulties, behavioral change through healthy habits, mindfulness, and exploring interpersonal struggles. We can focus on what resonates with you, work within any of life's domains where we believe change is possible, and go inward with mindfulness to sit with the parts of our realities that are beyond our control. Focusing on what we can control, however, is often the way forward.

Welcome. I’m Chloe. I received my Master's in Social Work from Michigan State University and have been practicing for 14 years. I have spent my career walking alongside children, teens, and adults as they navigate issues of grief and loss, anxiety, and depression. In my practice, I focus on validating each client’s unique experience. I allow clients to share information and process emotions at their own pace. I use a collaborative, integrative approach when working with clients to develop a treatment plan that fits with their needs. Although, grief is often seen as inherently connected with love, grief can also arise from complicated situations. It is not uncommon for someone to experience feelings of grief despite not having “liked’ the person when they were alive. This can bring up a mix of emotions including sadness, anger, regret, guilt, relief, and many others. The situation can leave the client feeling conflicted about grieving someone who has hurt them or someone they know. I work to develop therapeutic relationships where clients feel safe to begin to unlayer these complicate emotions and find a way to release the emotional burden associated with them. In my practice, I respect that each client has their own unique journey and I seek to listen with compassion, patience, and genuineness. I strive to provide a safe and welcoming space where clients can take the time needed to work through their feelings to ultimately heal and grow.

I aim to provide you with practical tools and strategies that enable you to overcome obstacles and promote personal growth. Remember, you don't have to navigate these challenges alone. Together, we can work towards creating a path that leads to a brighter and more confident future. If you're ready to take that step, I'm here to help guide you along the way.

I am currently scheduling new clients and have immediate openings available. I look forward to working together to identify and address your concerns in a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental manner.

“Be gentle with yourself. You are doing the best you can.” -Paulo Coelho As a therapist, it is important to me to create a safe, nonjudgmental environment where you feel comfortable sharing your challenges and stressors. I strive to create a strong therapeutic alliance where we can work together to overcome issues and meet your therapy goals. My approach is client-centered and strengths-based which will allow you to explore any emotions or issues that may arise. My goal is to create a partnership where you feel supported, validated, and empowered to take an active role in your healing journey.

How many times have those close to you tried to tell you what you should do? Do you feel like no one is really listening to your story? I strive to provide a space to be heard without being forced to conform to someone else's individual biases. You are the expert of your life: you live it. I'm an expert on process, and I want to help you find what change looks like in your life. I love the power of story, and your story is unique and rich. I tend not to subscribe to just one theoretical orientation simply because there is no "one size fits all" method of counseling. Rather, I draw from many different theories to devise a plan that will be the most helpful for you. My goal is to create the safest space possible: the one place where you'll never feel judged or criticized. Also, I am an Army vet, so I have a special place in my heart for vets and their families. I offer a discount for vets and their immediate families.

I am a licensed clinical social worker with more than 17 years of experience providing counseling and social work services to children, teens, adults, and families. My experience includes supporting clients dealing with adjusting to life changes and stress, trauma, anxiety, depression, and relationships. Since completing a Sport Social Work Certification through the University of Michigan in 2022, I have added supporting athletes with their unique mental health and sports performance needs. Beginning therapy means different things to different people, but it is often an action of courage, hope, self-care, and self-determination. I value the importance of highlighting and exploring the unique strengths and resilience in each individual to help encourage hope, confidence, healing, and growth. My therapeutic approach is rooted in client-centered therapy, emphasizing the exploration of what holds personal meaning for each individual with the emphasis on becoming self-aware and in tune with self. My goal is to provide genuine clinical support via teletherapy tailored to help clients achieve their personal goals in processing their focus of therapy while recognizing the importance of holistic wellness and addressing the physical, mental, and spiritual aspects of well-being to foster a sense of overall wellness.
