(She/They)🏳️‍🌈

My name is Jessi, I’m a limited licensed counselor and provisionally registered art therapist in the state of Michigan. I earned my Master of Arts in counseling and art therapy from Wayne State University. I am committed to helping individuals grow through and learn from the many challenges that life often throws at us.

My work focuses on providing a safe and comfortable space for individuals to grow and discover themselves. I believe in a person-centered approach integrated with additional evidence-based practices that allow the client being able to explore themselves in a non-judgmental environment.

It can be scary taking that first step towards bettering your mental health so thank you for choosing to take it with me. In our sessions together you can expect a combination of psychotherapy and art therapy to address and work through any things that you may be experiencing and if you are not an artist, do not worry, art therapy is about the process of creating art, self-discovery, and expressing yourself in ways that words may not be able to rather than the product you create in the end.
