Hi! I hold a Master's Degree in Social Work from Eastern Michigan University and a Graduate Certificate in Gerontology & Dementia. I graduated in 2019 but I have been in the Social Work field for almost 30 years. My ideal client is someone who shows up which is half the battle. Being here means the client recognizes that it’s ok to reach out for some help. I love working with adults and older adults.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session, we'll get to know each other a little - sort of a "meet and greet'! Then we can start to dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help us create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I believe I can connect with my clients and provide a safe, non-judgmental space for clients to be themselves.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I feel I work well with adults and older adults especially well. I see the challenges facing adults struggling with daily life and those taking care of aging parents, too. I also have extensive experience working with people living with dementia.
