Hi! I am a Licensed Master of Social Work (LMSW) based in the greater Lansing, Michigan area. I graduated from Michigan State University and have extensive experience in advance care planning, working with people with chronic health conditions, older adults, LBGTQ+ identity, caregiver stress, family dynamics, depression, anxiety, and trauma. I help people from young adulthood through late life identify and utilize their strengths to promote quality of life for my consumers.
In our first session, you can expect introductions to each other and delving into your specific goals and desired outcomes of therapy. From there, we will tailor a plan together to help you reach your therapeutic goals to help you live well.
As a provider with vast experience in domestic violence, LBGTQ+, health and end-of-life care, grief and bereavement, depression, and anxiety, I bring the strengths and knowledge of each area to each client situation to help my clients identify the best path forward to meet their therapeutic goals. From college students choosing a life or career path to the sandwich generation caring for family, older adults and chronic to end-of-life experiences and care, we will work together on a plan of care that fits your needs and goals.
I am passionate about working with adults transitioning through health concerns, caregiving stress, grief, and increasing coping skills. My clients desire help in working through life stress and seek the tools and understanding to do so. They may have goals and desires that overwhelm, confuse, or make them anxious and seek a partner in their mental health journey to guide them to identify strengths, coping skills, and interventions to help them lead their best lives at home, work, and in relationships.
I work to help clients recognize and utilize their strengths to help them work through and cope with life's challenges. In combination with cognitive-behavioral therapy, realistic goal-setting, and a compassionate, solution-focus, I work with people to meet and/or exceed therapeutic goals in order to enhance quality of life.
