Hi! I am a Social Worker with a clinical license in Michigan. I have been practicing at a clinical level for the last 9 years however have been in the social work field for 14 years. Sometimes life experiences, situations result in us having intrusive thoughts and strong uncomfortable feelings that keep us feeling stuck and prevent us from moving forward. I want to help you through these experiences so that you can reach your desired goals and potential.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
During the first session we will spend some time getting to know each other and exploring what you are looking for in a therapist and what lead to you seeking treatment. This will allow you time to ensure that I am a good fit for you and for us to have an initial plan for your goals.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I take a collaborative approach to your care because I believe you are the expert of yourself and your life even when it may not feel that way due to circumstances, negative thought patterns, and strong difficult emotions. I offer a space to feel safe and allow you to be vulnerable while we explore these so that you can learn the additional skills to feel more confident with this belief in yourself.
