I am a clinical social worker. licensed in Michigan. I've been working as a therapist for the past four years, supported by my previous ten years as a professional social worker. I have served individuals and families (children, adolescents, and adults) in community, outpatient, and residential settings. My skills have assisted clients manage a wide range of concerns including trauma, depression, anxiety, and, interpersonal conflict.
I believe that therapy is the most impactful when clients and their therapist work together, as equals, to create an environment built on authenticity. Shared humanity, client insight, and evidence based approaches drive treatment forward, reducing barriers to success and enhancing client strengths. My approach to treatment is trauma informed and combines person centered cognitive-behavioral therapy with the skills of mindfulness, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and emotional regulation. I often seek to incorporate adventure and experiential approaches into treatment. Life is an adventure, why should therapy be any different?
I want to help people reach their goals, and create the kind of life they want to live.
I look forward to connecting with you and exploring the ways I can help.
