I am a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) and a University of Michigan graduate, and my

area of expertise is co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders. Over the course of

my career, I have worked with individuals navigating addiction, PTSD, anxiety, depression, and

the complex challenges that arise when these conditions intersect. I believe that healing

happens in a space where you feel genuinely safe and understood, and I am committed to

providing exactly that. I would love to work alongside you as you move toward the life you

deserve.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and graduate of Michigan State University, providing therapy for clients of all ages. My work is grounded in a trauma‐informed approach, and I am certified in EMDR and TF‐CBT. I specialize in supporting victims of crime, non‐offending caregivers, domestic violence survivors, and individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, and the effects of trauma.

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’m a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) in Michigan, and I work with adults who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from themselves. Many of the people I support are navigating anxiety, depression, burnout, grief, identity questions, or the quiet pressure of holding everything together without feeling seen.

I work with men, women, LGBTQ+ individuals, neurodivergent adults, and people of color, particularly those who feel misunderstood or overlooked. Therapy is a place to slow down, make sense of what you’re carrying, and reconnect with parts of yourself that may have been pushed aside over time.

I have had the honor of working in the health system for since 2017 supporting those going through major life changes. I have experience working with grief and loss, trauma, depression and anxiety, new diagnosis or chronic illnesses, life transitions, and relational stressors. Additionally, I have been providing therapy since 2023 working closely with clients to provide a space where they feel valued, supported, and listened to while working towards a better mental health.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a strong foundation in community mental health, specializing in crisis intervention, psychotherapy, and helping individuals navigate complex emotional and life challenges. My work is rooted in real-world experience supporting diverse populations through periods of uncertainty, transition, and healing.

I bring a practical, compassionate, and nonjudgmental presence to therapy. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, or life stressors, my goal is to create a space where you feel heard, understood, and supported. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all therapy—your story, your pace, and your goals guide the process.

Outside of work, I run a small farm with pigs, goats, chickens, dogs, cats, and a garden, so my life involves a fair amount of dirt and a lot of animals with strong opinions. I also love to fish, woodwork, cook from scratch, and make soy candles. Being in nature is how I reset, and I am happy to talk about what helps you reset too.

As a licensed therapist, I believe prioritizing your mental health is key to happiness and stability in life. I know that reaching out for help is difficult, and you are taking the first steps.
