I am a licensed clinical social worker with over twenty five years of experience working in healthcare. I graduated from the University of Michigan School of Social Work in 1999. I have worked extensively in healthcare with experience in both acute care and ambulatory settings. My professional interests focus on issues related to coping with chronic illness, caregiver stress, end-of-life care and support, grief and loss across the life span, bereavement support to families, and assisting health care workers recognize the unique aspects of professional grief to avoid burnout. I feel privileged to companion my clients through life challenges and humbled by their strengths. I provide a safe space for all to reflect on life's struggles and encourage the development of new perspectives. Life throws us curveballs, some more difficult to handle than others. Talking through those challenges with a neutral, supportive, and knowledgeable therapist can be helpful. I look forward working with you in the near future.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
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.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Having worked in healthcare for 25 years, I developed an understanding of the grief associated with navigating chronic illness and the toll caregiving takes. I have the ability to build rapport quickly by creating a safe environment to share and reflect.
