I am a licensed clinical social worker in the state of Michigan and the state of Iowa. I use a person-centered and strengths-based approach that begins where you are in the present and focuses on your strengths in order to move forward. I have been trained in the use of a number of clinical approaches, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Play Therapy for children, Solution Focused Therapy and more. I will help you explore the problems you are facing in order to identify the changes that you want to make in your life. I began my career as a School Social Worker, an experience that gave me insight into the problems that children face in schools. During those years, I specialized in working with children and their families. I also worked as a clinical social worker providing behavioral health counseling to children, adolescents and adults in a private mental health clinic and later ina large family service agency. My goal in each counseling session is for you to leave feeling more hopeful and confident that you can move forward in a positive way. A receptionist once told me that my clients come in looking sad and go out with a smile, a compliment that warmed my heart.

Approach My approach to therapy is a person-centered (humanistic), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and choice/reality therapy (CT/RT) perspective. I routinely use motivational interviewing and self-reflection methods to encourage and facilitate the client's growth and development. I believe that the strongest pathway to transformation lies in one's willingness to continually self-reflect for positive growth development. Because I firmly believe in the power and importance of self-reflection and remaining in opportunities to learn and evolve, I humbly remain in my personal growth development by regularly expanding my knowledge with research-based therapeutic methods with a design to meet the needs of many within this diverse and continuously evolving society. I believe we can open the door to an improved you together. ​ Professional Counselor I am a National Certified (NCC# 1732823) Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC# 6401224388) in the State of Michigan.
