Welcome, I am a LMSW (Clinically Licensed Master of Social Worker). I have over 15 years' experience supporting individuals with various life transitions/issues. I graduated from Western Michigan University and have extensive experience working with individuals who have experienced trauma including children, families and adults. I provide a safe and welcoming environment for patients to share their feelings and experiences. My experiences in training, work and life help me to relate in supporting individuals on their journey to wellness.
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions. We will explore these challenges at a pace as you feel comfortable sharing. With my open and warm communication, we will begin build a working relationship.
My many strengths are understanding that as humans we long to be heard and connect. In providing a safe space for clients they can share their thoughts and feelings without judgement. I am a caring and compassionate person. I truly feel lucky to be able to meet people where they are in their journey and be a support in their health and wellness. I am eager to provide therapeutic support to those who are need.
My training and experience over the years is using various evidenced -based approaches of treatment including Person Centered Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Mindfulness, Grief Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution Focused Brief Therapy and Trauma Informed Care as each individual is unique.
