I am a master level social worker in Michigan with over 30 years of experience working as a private therapist for adults and adolescents. I have also worked in the state circuit court system for over 25 years in the Family and Juvenile divisions. I have operated my own practice for over ten years. I have worked with a variety of clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, trauma, parenting issues, intimacy and relationship issues. My style is positive, warm and calming. I believe in working together to generate understanding and solutions to stressors. I believe everyone needs a confidential, safe environment free of preconceived ideas, labels and judgement. My approach combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Humanistic and Rational Emotive as well as cognitive talk therapies. Together we will tailor a treatment plan as a path forward. What you are doing in reaching out takes a great deal of courage. Change can be frightening but can also uncover new perspectives and possibilities. Ultimately change gives us strength and resilience. I look forward to working together with you.
