The road of life is full of twists and turns. Sometimes we lose our way and find ourselves wandering farther from our intended destination. At other times, we may find ourselves being forced to take an alternate path. My desire is to equip you with the skills needed to navigate that road successfully. Together we will discover the obstacles in life that cause you to stumble and find practical ways to overcome them.

I am a clinical social worker licensed in my home state of Michigan. I earned my MSW from Indiana University School of Social Work in 2007. I am a military spouse and my family’s frequent moves have given me great opportunities to work in a variety of clinical settings with all age groups. I have worked as a therapist helping children and teens regulate big emotions and cope with traumas, led group therapy with adults in transition from hospital psychiatric care, provided assessment and care to wounded soldiers, and worked in a private practice group doing individual therapy addressing parenting issues, adjustments, grief, anxiety, and depression. I have had training in many different treatment modalities, but I typically use Solution-Focused, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Mindfulness techniques. Each person is different, so I will always work with you to develop the best course of action. My objective, as a therapist, is to create a safe space, void of judgment, where anyone can feel comfortable working on their goals to achieve the outcomes that they desire. Additionally, I have a certificate of TeleMental Health training.

Sometimes change is unexpected and can negatively effect our ability to function in our job, carry out daily routines or manage our personal affairs. Sometimes medical challenges with ourselves and/or with others can require unexpected changes in our lifestyle. Sometimes conflict with spouses, significant others, family members, friends, or co-workers can cause unwanted or unmanageable feelings and emotions. Sometimes life challenges can make us question our self-worth or have a negative impact on how we feel about life. Sometimes difficulties in our life contribute to the development of thoughts, behaviors and habits that are not healthy for us. Professional help can bring awareness to what is not working in our lives and assist in developing healthier ways of thinking, doing and behaving. Sometimes we feel totally alone and just can’t seem to find the answer or solution we need to feel better on our own… Sometimes We Just Need Help Therapy provides hope and can ease the difficulties that often present themselves as we journey through life. I look forward to partnering with you in that process.
