Hi :) I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the State of Michigan with nine years of experience walking alongside adults through some of life’s heaviest seasons. I work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, Bipolar Disorder, ADHD, Borderline Personality Disorder, substance use concerns, family stress, self-harming behaviors, suicidal ideation, and significant trauma. While I have experience working with children and adolescents, my heart and passion are rooted in helping adults make sense of their stories, regulate their emotions, and build lives that feel steady and meaningful. My counseling style is warm, down-to-earth, and collaborative. I believe you are the expert on your own life — even if right now it doesn’t feel that way. Therapy with me is not about judgment or rigid advice; it’s about slowing down, getting curious, and building practical tools that help you feel more grounded and in control. I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based approaches, solution-focused strategies, and concrete coping skills to support emotional regulation and growth. I have additional training in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), which allow us to process trauma and intense emotions in ways that are structured, supportive, and manageable. Together, we create goals that are realistic, measurable, and aligned with the life you want. Growth takes courage. You don’t have to do it alone. I would be honored to support you in becoming your most grounded and authentic self.

"If you want a happy ending, that depends, of course, on where you stop your story" - Orson Welles. To me, this quote is a reminder that we all have our ups and downs in life, every single one of us. Even the people deemed "most successful" still have times that if life would have stopped in those moments, they would have been left feeling as though life were unhappy.
