Addiction therapists & psychiatrists in Muskegon, MI

I am a licensed clinical social worker with 28 years of experience partnering with adolescents, adults of all ages and families. I am bilingual so I offer therapy in english and spanish.

I have been doing this work for over 20 years now, and I look forward to working with you!

I'm a licensed therapist in Michigan who specializes in working with adults navigating depression, anxiety, addiction, codependency, relationship challenges, domestic violence, and life transitions. I've always worked with folks who might feel like quality therapy is out of reach, and that's still who I see. That's where my heart is, helping people who thought they couldn't get help heal, process, and grow into the best version of themselves and live their best life.

I am a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) with nearly 30 years of experience in the Clinical Social Work field. I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology and a Master of Social Work. I have worked in many different aspects of the field, including as a School Social Worker. I began my career in the areas of child and family services, foster care, adoption, intensive family services, vocation, juvenile justice, schools, elder care, and individual, group and family therapy. In addition to being a licensed Clinical and Macro therapist, I am also a Certified Life Coach specializing in relationships. I am also a mother of two, remarried and have had a plethora of professional, personal and familial experiences from which I have gained valuable perspective. So, I can relate to most of life's challenges regarding interpersonal relationships.

You’ve been through enough. Now it’s time to rediscover the person you were always meant to be. I believe true healing begins when we care for the whole person—not just the problem. My goal is to provide a safe, compassionate, and judgment-free space where you can feel heard, understood, and supported. I work with individuals who are ready to heal, grow, and create meaningful change. Clients may seek counseling for anxiety, depression, trauma, or feeling stuck and uncertain about their next steps. You don’t have to navigate life’s challenges alone. I’m here to meet you where you are, listen with intention, and support you as you work toward healing, growth, and wellness. When you’re ready, I invite you to take that first step toward healing and positive change.

I began my career working with children and quickly expanded my expertise to include adults and couples. Throughout my 26 years as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I have seen the incredible power of the human spirit to overcome trauma and unexpected life struggles. Watching my clients transition from "surviving" to "thriving" remains the most inspiring part of my work.

As a licensed master social worker and board-certified chaplain, I believe prioritizing mental health and spiritual care is key to whole health and total well-being and stability in life. Seeking help can be one of the most difficult decisions you'll ever make, so congratulations on taking that first step! My current focus is working with clients dealing with substance abuse, mental health, and marriage and family issues.
