About me

Hi, I am currently a licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Michigan with 5 years of professional experience working with all ages in a variety of settings.I have experience in empowering clients who are struggling with stress, depression, anxiety, trauma, chronic health conditions, self-love, and motivation. I also have experience working with LGBTQIA+ identified clients. I am committed to providing a safe environment for anyone I am working with.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

Our first session will go at your pace; I am here to work WITH you and make this a collaborative process. This first session is about getting to know you and ways that I can best support. It can be helpful for the first session, if you have time/remember make a list of some things you would like to explore in our time together, as well as any information you feel is important for me to know about you.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I believe in addressing all parts of a person and being able to adapt to the client’s needs. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. My goal is to create a warm and friendly environment where my clients can grow and heal. You are in the driver’s seat of this experience; I am here to provide tools and help navigate. I look forward to getting to know you and learning the best ways to support you through some of life's hurdles.

Karlee is always open minded and honest with me. She has given me a space to be myself and ACTUALLY HELPS. Even with the things Id lie to myself about she holds with open arms.
