I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Michigan with over 18 years of experience working as a therapist in various settings. My clients have experienced measurable support with issues pertaining to anxiety and depression, stress management, ADHD, adjustment disorders, anger management, relationship/family dynamics, and goal setting.
My counseling style is motivational, practical, and solution-focused. Typically I use psycho-education, cognitive-behavioral, and psychodynamic approaches in counseling. You can expect to receive services that meet your identified needs, while treating you with dignity and respect, because you are far greater than your current situation.
Human growth and development excites me. If you are ready to experience a better you, then I look forward to working together.

Judith has been incredible to work with. She truly cares, listens, and is extremely supportive. During our time together she has provided a combination of actionable tasks to help with things like depression, anxiety, and self-esteem, but also gives space to really listen and relate. I'm truly grateful for her and she's been an integral part of my support system for the last year

Judith is great she’s warm and friendly but it’s genuine, she’s helpful at offering to filling in the gaps when you can’t quite articulate without projecting.she keeps the conversation flowing to and steers away from too much dwelling. I feel like she’s able to communicate and understand many different types of people which is a real natural skill. 10 stars for Judith to be completely honest.

There aren’t enough words to say how grateful I am to have started therapy and to have had Judith’s guidance and care with me on this journey! I was very hesitant at first when downloading BetterHelp because I had never tried therapy and wasn’t sure how it would be on the phone. Judith was instantly professional, kind, and gave me guidance, motivation, and direction. She offered the perfect balance of guiding, educational assistance and a listening ear to tailor my therapy to my exact struggles and some I hadn’t even realized were there yet. I cannot recommend her enough. Thank you Judith!

Judith has been really helpful. I joined this app hesitantly, as I had an unsatisfying experience before with another online therapist on another app. However, Judith helped me understand exactly what was going on and how I can deal with it.
