Therapist

I’m a Clinical Therapist with 18 years of experience, helping people work through some of life’s hardest moments. I earned my Master’s degree in Clinical Social Work from Michigan State University, and throughout my career I’ve had the opportunity to work with people from many different backgrounds and walks of life.

I’ve worked with individuals struggling with substance use and recovery, depression, anxiety, stress, ADHD, trauma, relationship challenges, life transitions, and many other issues. Over the years, I’ve learned that therapy isn’t about having all the answers or being told what you should do. Life is complicated, and sometimes we simply get stuck. We can know what we want to change but still have a hard time figuring out where to start.

I approach therapy with respect, curiosity, and a bit of humor. I offer trauma-informed care which has led me to work with people who have gone through hard times and survived.

I have spent the last 15 years working with adults in crisis, whether that is temporary situations like relationship issues or more chronic conditions.
