Did you know that a Jack Pine needs fire to grow?  From seed to tree, the Jack Pine is an amazingly unique and resilient plant.  The seeds vary in size and shape and grow after being exposed to a forest fire.  The Jack Pine itself rarely grows straight up.  It is shaped by its environment and the nutrients it receives.  Humans who have experienced trauma and endure the healing journey are comparable to the mighty Jack Pine species.  Here at Jack Pine Wellness, we help all of our clients harness those harsh conditions and transform themselves into something beautiful.

Jack Pine Wellness, PLLC was established in 2022.  We offer telehealth services only in Michigan, Minnesota, and North Dakota.  At Jack Pine Wellness, we are passionate about helping our clients heal and reach their goals. Every mental health journey looks different; we have the tools to help you along the way. 

I completed my masters degree in Social Work at Wayne State University in 2016 and my bachelors in Social Work in 2014 at Michigan State University.  I have a background of working with individuals in the juvenile justice system, adults in the correctional system, and individuals in the private mental health setting.  My Masters degree in Social Work provided me with a concentration in individual, couples and family therapy.  My post-graduate training provided me with a specialization in trauma and Perinatal Mental Health.

• Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)- Certified

Counseling Intern | Remote Services in Michigan

Taking the first step toward help takes courage — and you don't have to take it alone. I believe that no matter where you are in your journey, there is always hope. Sometimes, all it takes is having the right person in your corner.

I am a Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor and Master's-level counseling intern with a passion for walking alongside adults through some of life's most challenging seasons. I specialize in addiction, trauma, and relationship struggles — areas where I have had the privilege of supporting individuals in a variety of settings, including jails and homeless shelters. That experience has deepened my belief that healing is possible for everyone, regardless of circumstance or background.

My approach is collaborative and tailored to you. I draw primarily from Motivational Interviewing (MI) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), while weaving in additional tools and modalities as your unique needs call for them. There is no one-size-fits-all path to wellness, and I am committed to meeting you exactly where you are.

One of my deepest commitments is reducing the stigma around mental health. Seeking support is not a sign of weakness — it is one of the most powerful things you can do for yourself.

I currently offer remote counseling services throughout Michigan. If you are ready to take that next step — or even just curious about what that might look like — I would be honored to connect with you.
