Hello, welcome to my profile. I am a Graduate of MSU and have been a practicing Social Worker for the last 6 years. I worked at a Methadone Clinic which deal with Opiate Addictions and Pain Management. I also worked at Triton with people suffering from PTSD, Depression, and many other Mental Health Disorders. I am also retired from General Motors where I worked on Maintenance for 30 years.

I have been doing this work since 2009 — which means I have sat with a lot of people through a lot of different kinds of hard. I hold a Master's degree in Counseling with a dual focus in professional counseling and marriage and family therapy, and my career has moved through two distinct chapters that have shaped how I practice. The first half was spent in the world of substance use — working with individuals and families where the stakes were high and the complexity was real. The last several years have been in private practice, where I've worked with the full range of human struggle: depression, anxiety, ADHD, PTSD, substance use disorders, parenting stress, and the disorienting moments when life shifts beneath your feet. I work with individuals, couples, and groups. Very few things surprise me at this point — and that's exactly what makes this work feel safe.

I spent 20 years working toward this moment, and I bring that same patience and care to everyone I work with. My background spans family nursing, somatic psychology, and psychiatric care across settings from detox units to community mental health. I specialize in supporting adults through substance use and alcohol recovery, depression, PTSD, and trauma, including people whose mental health has been shaped by chronic pain or physical hardship. My approach is collaborative and unhurried. You set the pace, and we build from there.
