I am a dedicated LMSW-Clinical with 14 years of experience specializing in grief counseling and caregiver stress. After earning a degree from the University of Michigan School of Social Work, I have passionately committed myself to supporting individuals and families navigating the emotional challenges associated with loss and the demands of caregiving. With a compassionate and client-centered approach, I provide a safe space for healing, helping clients process their feelings and develop effective coping strategies.
