I love helping people think different ways so that they feel better with the decisions in their lives. I have been a social worker for over 30 years. I have a Masters in Social Work and am a licensed Clinical Social worker through the State of Michigan. I routinely hand out materials to patients to help them in between their sessions.

I work with patients who have post traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, depression, traumatic brain injuries, retraining negative thinking patterns, couples counseling and much more...

Life sometimes has us feeling burnt out, used up, and exhausted. We feel so overwhelmed that we are unclear about what we want or are having difficulty pursuing it. We might feel lost and blame ourselves for our own hurt or insecurities. It can be scary to put yourself first and begin the process of seeking support, especially if you sometimes feel that you don’t deserve it. Therapy is a place where you can share what’s on your mind, find your voice, and let go of self-blame or shame. It can also help you learn how to set healthy boundaries so you can take better care of yourself and feel more energized. Together, we can explore your situat...

In truth, I don't "fix" people (they aren't "broken"), I simply point to their strengths, if I am fortunate enough to discover the...
