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, providing mental health treatment to individuals. Some of these settings are 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. If the times on my schedule don't work for you, please make an appointment and message me with a better time and/or day and I can change. I am able to see clients during the day but on a limited schedule. I always try to be as flexible as I can to meet the needs of my clients. :-)

I currently serve as the Director of Mental Health for a correctional-based healthcare organization. In this role I have had the opportunity to interact with individuals from all walks of life. My therapeutic approach is integrative, combining evidence-based practices like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and psychodynamic techniques tailored to meet the unique needs of each client. My passion lies in working with adults and teens dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction and life transitions. I believe in the power of a strong therapeutic relationship, where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to make meaningful changes. Together, we work to uncover underlying issues, build coping strategies, and develop a deeper understanding of self. My career in mental health began working for the local child services organization. This was an eye opening opportunity that allowed me to see the gaps in the system and how individuals and families have limited access to needed resources. I then transitioned to a position at a children's hospital, working directly with those in crisis providing trauma response and grief therapy. I have experience counseling birth-mothers who are considering creating an adoption plan as well as at-risk youth in a pre-military setting. This background gives me a vast understanding that not all individuals are the same. Each person has their own battles and I am committed to creating a warm, non-judgmental space where clients can explore their thoughts and feelings at their own pace. Outside of my practice, I enjoy spending time with friends and family. I enjoy exploring the outdoors with my pup, Louie. I am dedicated to ongoing professional development and regularly attend workshops and seminars to stay current with the latest advancements in psychology and psychotherapy.

I'm a licensed MSW (master social worker) in Michigan. I use solution focused counseling to help you figure out what positive changes you'd like to make and what small changes you can start with. I enjoy working with a wide variety of people and concerns. Solution Focused Therapy is a very practical and effective form of counseling. Most of the clients who gravitate towards my services want to take action and start making changes right away. They don't want to just talk about their problems, they want to get ideas for specific things to do and move on with their lives. They don't want to be in counseling for years and want a counselor who appreciates that too.

If you’ve carried the weight of family abuse — if you grew up in chaos that made you question your worth, endured the confusion of narcissistic control, or were silenced by sibling violence or sexual abuse — I want you to know: I see you. So much of what feels wrong with you is actually what went right — the brilliant, instinctive ways your body and mind protected you when you had no other choice. Those survival strategies weren’t flaws; they were evidence of your strength. In our work together, there’s no rushing your story or asking you to relive the pain. Instead, we listen — to the language of your nervous system, to the parts of you that have waited years to be understood. Using Brainspotting and trauma-informed care, I help you process the experiences that still live in your body — not by forcing them out, but by creating enough safety for your system to release what it’s been holding. Many of my clients are survivors of childhood emotional and physical abuse, sexual trauma, and narcissistic family systems. They often come to me feeling disconnected from joy, trapped in self-blame, or exhausted by relationships that repeat old patterns of harm. Together, we slow down, find words for what was once unspeakable, and begin to rebuild a sense of safety — inside your body, your boundaries, and your life. Healing isn’t about erasing the past or pretending it never happened. It’s about remembering who you were before the world taught you to doubt yourself, and reclaiming that self with compassion and strength. You don’t have to walk this path alone. Together, we’ll help you create a life that feels safe, whole, and truly your own.
