Anchor Point of Hope Counseling Services

As a Christian Marriage, premarital, and family therapist, I specialize in helping teens, adults and families overcome trauma and anxiety. By integrating faith-based principles with therapeutic techniques, I guide individuals & couples in developing effective coping strategies to foster healing, strengthen relationships and live a more fulfilled purpose driven life.

I began my journey in education, earning my undergraduate degree from the University of Michigan before completing my Master’s in Counseling at Central Michigan University. With over sixteen years of experience as a teacher and counseling since 2016, I’ve seen firsthand how crucial emotional support is for students and their families.

My passion for mental health grew from my time in the school setting, where I witnessed the deep need for guidance beyond academics. This inspired me to pursue a career in counseling, dedicated to helping individuals and families navigate emotional challenges. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive space where you can heal from past traumas, build resilience, and become the best versions of themselves—academically, emotionally, socially, and spiritually.

Together, we’ll work to uncover your strengths, set meaningful goals, and create a path toward lasting growth and fulfillment.

I am an anxiety, depression and relationship Therapist. I help people of all ages overcome difficult seasons of life and challenges in their relationships in order to experience a more satisfying life and deeper relationships with those around them.

I initially went to school at the University of Michigan for a degree in Mechanical Engineering and worked in the Detroit Auto industry for 11+ years. After that I decided to move in a direction where I could be more directly connected with helping people in need and obtained a Masters of Clinical Social Work also from the University of Michigan. I also spent time working as a 211 Helpline Coordinator serving victims of the California wildfires around Santa Barbara and then started a Michigan-based beverage company with my wife, which we have worked-on for 15 years. I specialize in ADHD, Anxiety, life transitions, depression, Parenting, relationship issues and Christian / Spiritual counseling.

Hello! My name is Luca and I'm a therapy dog at Anchor Point of Hope Counseling Services

I was born in April of 2020 and I weigh just over 45 lbs so even though I'm smaller than many other dogs, I have a huge heart!

I'm very gentle, even with kids, love treats and I love to snuggle, give kisses and let you pet me during difficult moments.

If I see you become emotional during our session, the chances are pretty good that I'll try to give you some kisses to help calm you down.

I can't wait to meet you and help you get the most out of your therapy sessions with my mom, Rebecca!

Professional guidance and support to help you live a healthy and satisfying life!
