About me

Hi! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker(LCSW) based in Michigan, but I also serve individuals in Virginia. I received my Masters from Widener University in 2021. I have worked in many different settings, such as inpatient behavioral health units, outpatient group therapy programs, and community-based settings. I have a wide array of treatment models that I have learned over the years, utilizing these with my clients to help them explore their thoughts and feelings while providing a healing environment. I now provide individual therapy to adults, adolescents and children. I also possess a Bachelor in Recreational Therapy from Central Michigan University, earned in 2009. I worked as a Recreational Therapist for over 15 years, working with children with developmental disabilities in the community, and then transitioned to working with adults and children's in various mental health settings. I continue to encourage a healthy leisure lifestyle with my clients, discussing the importance of self-care, self-esteem and cultivating self-worth. Having fun and finding the joy in life is a part of healing from a mental health crisis. I always try to be as flexible as I can to meet the needs of my clients. :-) If you need same day appointment, I always try to accommodate for my clients. No show policy: All I ask is to be communicated with, even last minute. I know life can happen pretty quickly but without any communication, it is a $100 cancellation fee. I will wait 15 minutes and then you are considered a no show.

Get to know me

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

In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me and you create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions . My philosophy for every session is that we are 2 people having a human experience and I just happen to be someone who can teach you skills so you find healing in your life. I hope you leave our first session feeling comfortable with our interaction.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

Having worked in the mental health field for over 15 years, I have experience working with individuals of all ages, ethnic backgrounds, genders, and views. I have worked with individuals with various mental health diagnoses, physical diagnoses, and developmental diagnoses. I am able to see individuals' stressors from different perspectives without judgement. I am open to tailoring treatment to what you want to achieve and where in your life you want to make changes.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I love working with individuals that are ready to make changes in their lives by looking at their thoughts, feelings and behaviors and being able to manage their stress more effectively. Stress happens to all of us so being able to share thoughts and have someone help you to work through thoughts is my passion. I do NOT provide couples counseling or medication management.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I have been utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with clients in an outpatient group therapy program for the past 6 years. I have used it while providing individual sessions to help our clients explore the connection between their thoughts, feelings and behaviors. Once we are able to understand this concept together, we can then move to using different types of treatment to help you find healing and peace.
