About me

I am the Owner/ Clinical Therapist at IMPACCTT Enterprises, PLLC (IMPACCTT.com), an author, and a motivational speaker. IMPACCTT is the acronym for Innovative Mentoring Passionate Advocacy and Creative Community Based Treatment Techniques. The vision for IMPACCTT Enterprises, PLLC was birthed out of my experiences within the Saginaw County Foster Care System wherein I experienced some of the best and worst aspects of the system of care. I overcame the past via addressing and overcoming the past. I know that extreme hurt can transform into healing. I had to overcome trauma, grief, and loss, so I've been there. I provide creative outpatient individual and family therapy services for children, teens, and adults to include senior citizens with abuse, neglect, grief, and/ or loss histories. I use therapeutic tools such as cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness therapy, trauma-focused therapy, and psycho-education. I am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional.

I hold a degree as a Licensed Masters Clinical Social Worker with a focus in practice with Children, Teens, and Families. I was trained as a Public Child Welfare Fellow within the art of creative therapy. I also hold a Juris Doctor of Law Degree from the Thomas M. Cooley Law School (2008). I have fifteen years of clinical experience as a Social Worker. I also have eighteen months of past experience within Legal Services of Eastern Michigan and Legal Services of South Central Michigan.

I believe that although an individual may be or may have been affected by past or present life challenges, those experiences need not define the client or serve as either a complete or a permanent barrier(s) to progress or productivity in a person’s life. I believe in the power of therapy and faith towards assisting clients with tapping into and nurturing their strengths, accepting themselves (flaws and all), and learning how to heal, learn from, and ultimately use life challenges/life experiences as catalysts for growth and/ or change when possible. The willingness to work on one’s self is one of the most challenging, but ultimately the most rewarding act of bravery, kindness, and love that one can offer to themselves and their loved ones.
