LMSW-C, 13 years of experience
New to Grow
I previously completed a fellowship in Michigan Medicine's Department of Psychiatry where I specialized in anxiety disorders, grief and loss, and depression. I was rigorously trained in CBT, including exposure therapy, motivational interviewing, DBT, and interpersonal psychotherapy. I also have experience developing and facilitating therapy groups. I will provide you a safe space within an authentic relationship to work through challenges. I've been trained in multiple therapy modalities, bringing to our work an eclectic and flexible approach. I can help you build insight and incorporate an understanding of your past into skills that will help you to thrive and become your best self today.
Our first session will include a quick overview of what to expect from therapy and each session, and then we'll dive into what is bringing you in! I'll typically ask a lot of questions to try to understand what's going on and how we should move forward. Then, together, we'll decide on a few goals to focus on.
My clients would describe me as open, accepting, authentic, and direct. I believe in the power of mastering discomfort to move us towards growth, and I look forward to working on this together!
I typically work with adults & young adults as they work to face transitions, build confidence, and manage difficult emotions. I specialize in anxiety, such as social anxiety, worry, and panic, OCD, and issues with relationships, assertiveness, and self-confidence.
