I am a Michigan and South Carolina-licensed clinical social worker with over 20 years of experience working as a therapist. I have spent the majority of my career as a Social Worker on Active Duty with the military, treating conditions from mild anxiety/depression to PTSD. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, OCD, and ADHD. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse. My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach strength-focused, supportive therapy. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you! .
My approach to therapy is very non-threatening. The human experience can be tough…and none of us are immune to life circumstances! You can expect a warm, casual conversation, where we will problem solve, together.
I can relate to all types of individuals. My prior military service has afforded me the opportunity to work with all types of clients, struggling with all sorts of challenges!
I utilized a solutions-based approach, mixed with a Cognitive Behavioral approach. I find that it’s helpful to understand the relationship between our thoughts, and how they can impact our emotions.
