LISW, 31 years of experience
Overwhelmed by life, problems in your relationships, or not feeling your best emotionally? Working through this with me can help to relieve some of those feelings, as we can find the best ways for you to get the most out of your life, every day. I'm an independently licensed social worker in Ohio and Michigan with a Master's Degree in Social Work as well as Board certification. My experience of 31 years has included working with people who have health problems, mental health problems, are caregivers for individuals who have health or mental health problems, Veterans and couples. I believe that it can sometimes help to prioritize ourselves and our needs. That can mean reviewing your emotional boundaries or identifying strategies to balance your stress, improve your sleep or other problems. I offer CBT, Mindfulness based stress reduction, motivational interviewing, Couples Counseling, and Narrative therapy and work with you to help determine what will help you most.
In our first meeting, clients can expect for us to get to know each other and to talk about your ideal life. We will talk about your challenges and your goals, as you create a roadmap to achieve your goals and live your best life. I believe in empowering you to grow through change and add tools learned in therapy to your toolbox. I also believe all people deserve the same happiness and fulfillment. As with all my clients in the past and present, you will be welcomed, seen, and heard.
I'm affirming, interested in your feelings, life experiences, and needs, and will work with you to get you to a place where you feel better balance overall. I have helped many people over the years and look forward to meeting you, knowing that you will be welcomed, seen and heard with me. Skills I use to help include meditation, as well as more traditional therapy skills such as CBT, brief, solution focused therapy, motivational interviewing, narrative therapy. In my practice, I like to learn about you before I plan what interventions to use because everyone is unique.
I've accompanied many people on their journeys through adult life stages and have helped them find ways to cope with stressors and thrive, as well as develop healthy and fulfilling relationships. I enjoy working with adults of any age and have worked with younger adults struggling with adjustments to life seasons and relationships, through middle age while coping with the changes related to aging and through older age. My areas of focus include but are not limited to people working through relationship problems, physical and mental health problems, caregiver stress, anxiety, depression, general stress, and working with military Veterans.

She is exceptional with knowing how to communicate my problems and teaching me ways to solve them.
CBT can be used to reduce your anxiety, depression and other problems. I've seen this method help people feel more calm and content many times. You will learn to use the techniques on your own for future success as well.
Couples counseling can be used to improve your relationship by gaining better understanding of one another's viewpoint while building trust and respect for one another. I use this often to help people improve their communication and feel better appreciated within their relationships. Relationship satisfaction is possible and with some work, you can enjoy years of happiness together.
Mindfulness is a way to improve your connections to your daily life, and have better interactions with others. We can use mindfulness together to make all areas of your life feel more in line with what you want rather than feeling like you are just getting through your days. Bring peace to your days using some preventative techniques that you can practice anytime.
Motivational interviewing is a way to help unblock your progress towards living the life you want, by finding out where you are on the road to making changes. Motivational interviewing is useful when you are feeling stuck and can help remove what's holding you back.
Narrative therapy helps me learn a little of your history and background so we can talk more about rewriting what's next for you. This is how you tell me your story and what you think is important in how your past might be affecting you right now, and it helps both of us know more about how you see your present self and your future self.
