I was born and raised in Brighton, Michigan. I am married and have a 5 year old son. I enjoy animals, the outdoors, baking, reading, Netflix and reality TV shows. I have my bachelor of science degree in psychology with a double minor in human growth & development and gerontology from Central Michigan University and I received my Master of Social Work degree in 2010 from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. I like to use a team approach when working with my clients and my motto is "I work for you". Whatever goals you would like to achieve, I am here to help you accomplish those goals. I have experience working with teenagers, adults, couples and families and I enjoy working with depression, anxiety, grief/loss, severe mental illness, addiction, spiritual and relationship issues.
