I believe that happiness is a basic human right. Better relationships, clearer thoughts, and more fulfilling emotions are possible even in difficult or in impossible-looking circumstances. I have a wide scope of treatment and enjoy working with children, adolescents and adults.
My treatment approach is eclectic and is customized to individuals.
Services include individual therapy for children, adolescents and adults, and family therapy.
I have developed a strength-based approach. My goal is to provide a safe and comforting environment for my clients to grow in. In serving a wide array of populations, from families, adolescents, adults, and Veterans, I've found the value in uniquely lived experiences. I believe each person has a distinct set of skills that can assist them in overcoming life's stressors, obstacles, or personal needs. Through utilizing strengths one already has to teaching new coping skills, I work with each of my clients in order to formulate an individualized plan that will aid in living life to its fullest potential. Whether it be relationship issues, grief, trauma, life changes, depression, anxiety, or other specific mental health diagnosis, I hope to work in an alliance to improve overall quality of life. I am skilled in a variety of modalities such as mindfulness, breathing exercises, various talk therapies, movement therapy, etc., and take pride in offering interventions that best suit each individual.
In the end, we all have the same basic human needs. Helping people navigate life’s challenges with a down-to-earth approach is my goal as a therapist.
In my practice as a clinical social worker for the past 23 years, I’ve been fortunate to meet and help individuals from all walks of life. Trauma, Crisis, Grief/Loss, Illness, Aging, Depression and Anxiety comprise the bulk of my work, though I’m always ready to take on a new challenge in the spirit of empowering others. My clients are the experts…I’m here to help them draw from the skills they already possess.
I work with late adolescents, adults and couples.
I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Michigan State University and a Master of Social Work from Wayne State University. I am also proud to be a Certified Case Manager.
Life can be messy; it twists and turns, sometimes with no warning. It can be difficult, amazing and everything in between. Sometimes we find ourselves needing some extra help. That’s where therapy comes in! I believe therapy is a collaborative effort between therapist and client, and empowering people to see their own strengths, abilities and resiliency is an incredible privilege that I never take lightly. Mental health impacts all areas of our lives and by working together, we can achieve your goals and improve your quality of life so you can live the life you want. I use a variety of techniques in an individualized format to ensure every client feels safe, empowered and strengthened from our time working together.

I am certified as a Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional and have worked with those dealing with a variety of mental health conditions throughout my career.
