As one with extensive case management experience, I strongly embody solution-focused therapies, helping individuals employ useful coping mechanisms and rework negative dialogues.
I am a licensed independent clinical social worker (LICSW) with 13 years of experience supporting individuals navigating adjustment issues, anxiety, and depression. I understand the challenges that can arise from day-to-day life decisions, major transitions, and feelings of social isolation, and I strive to create a supportive space where clients feel heard and understood.
I earned my master’s degree in social work from Michigan State University. My approach is collaborative and strengths-based, focusing on problem-solving, emotional insight, and the development of practical coping skills to help clients build resilience and improve overall well-being.
Together, we will work at your pace to address your concerns and identify meaningful solutions that align with your goals. Clients describe me as compassionate, easy to talk to, and supportive. I look forward to partnering with you as you take this important step toward growth and healing.

However, they can also provide diagnoses to clients when appropriate, something that therapists and counselors cannot do.
