BACKGROUND

I am a licensed clinical social worker. I hold a Masters in Social Work from the University of Michigan and a BA in psychology from St. Mary's College of Orchard Lake.

I have served on staff with the Washtenaw County Sheriff's Office as a counselor, case manager, and supervisor of services to the inmate population providing mental health  and substance counseling, crisis intervention and rehabilitative programming.

PHILOSOPHY


I believe in working closely with people to help them reach their fullest potential through developing goals, creating healthy boundaries, and empowering them for change.

Using evidence-based methods, I will help you challenge everyday thinking that keeps you locked in self-destructive or unhealthy patterns, to ultimately improve your quality of life and satisfaction of relationships.

It is crucial for you to understand your issues fully so corrective action and healing may happen. I will meet you where you are in life and incorporate your culture, personal talents and strengths, religion, sexual orientation, and ethnic background into the counseling process for authentic exchange.

Together we can explore what is limiting your quality of life and help you reach your goals for change through the dynamic process of

therapy.

I am a privately owned counseling clinic founded in 2011 located in the Rochester Hills. I provide both in person meeting and Telehealth services. My clients comprise a wide variety of cultural, racial, religious, and economic backgrounds, including individuals with different sexual orientations and gender identities.
