Hi! I'm a Licensed Masters Social Worker(LMSW) based in Michigan. I received my Masters from Wayne State University and have been practicing for 5 years. Are you feeling overwhelmed by stress, struggling to find joy in your daily life, or dealing with anxiety that’s impacting your work and relationships? You’re not alone. Many of my clients come to me feeling stuck, exhausted, and unsure of how to move forward. I specialize in helping individuals navigate these challenging emotions and find a path to a more balanced and fulfilling life.
Rapport building initially and I want to hear your story! I don't want anyone to feel uncomfortable or like they are giving up their past to someone they don't know. I believe in a trust based relationship and going at your pace as you are comfortable. Mostly, clients tell me they feel like they have chatted with a friend but realize there has been growth in the conversation. To me, that is the way it should be.
I aim to provide empathetic and supportive responses, which can be helpful in understanding and addressing the needs of my clients in the therapeutic settings.
I work best with individuals who are ready to better understand themselves and create meaningful change in their lives. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, emotionally stuck, or unsure how to manage the stressors they’re facing. I often support clients who are experiencing anxiety, stress, emotional overwhelm, relationship challenges, life transitions, and difficulties regulating their emotions. Some may struggle with people-pleasing, burnout, low self-esteem, or feeling disconnected from themselves or others. My clients are typically self-aware or curious about their patterns, even if they don’t yet know how to change them. They may feel tired of coping the same way and want healthier tools for managing their thoughts, emotions, and relationships.
