Frequently rebooked
I'm a Licensed Master Social Worker based in Michigan. I received my master’s from Wayne State University in Detroit, MI and have been practicing for 20 years. I help adults struggling with anxiety, depression, grief and loss, stress relationship issues and burnout to become the best versions of themselves. I provide a safe, non-judgmental space for individuals to explore and address their mental and emotional challenges. I aim to bring a wealth of insight and empathy to your experience.
During the first session serves as an opportunity for us to get to know each other, establish rapport, and lay the groundwork for a successful therapeutic relationship. I will provide an overview of the therapy process and create a welcoming and safe environment for the client to express themselves. I will ask questions to gather information about the client's current concerns, background, history, and goals for therapy. Together, we will work to establish clear goals and expectations for therapy.
I have a deep capacity for empathy and compassion, allowing them to understand and validate their clients' experiences without judgment, active listener with a strong foundation in evidence-based practices and therapeutic techniques to address a wide range of mental health issues. Other strengths include cultural competence and adhering to professional ethics and boundaries, to ensure and maintain confidentiality, respect client autonomy, and always providing ethical care.
I love working with clients serve who are seeking support and guidance to navigate through life's challenges, including but not limited to anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship issues, and personal growth. I love working with clients 18 yrs and older from backgrounds, and walks of life who are motivated to explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in a therapeutic setting.

I feel comfortable telling her anything, even things I feel would be viewed as shameful to some. Thats a rare thing for me to feel. She's very warm and intelligent with helpful insight and humor. I have found her extremely helpful to my overall wellbeing and mental health.

Initial meeting with therapist went well. She listened and gave great feedback.
I use CBT to identify and challenging negative thought patterns and behaviors to promote positive changes in emotions and behavior. This involves collaborative goal setting, cognitive restructuring techniques, behavioral experiments, and skill-building exercises to help individuals develop more adaptive coping strategies and improve their overall well-being.
