I am a licensed master’s level social worker who practices in Jackson, MI. I received my MSW from the University of Michigan and I am licensed through the state of Michigan. Prior to working in private practice I worked as an outpatient therapist for a non-profit agency and managed a case management program within a community mental health setting. I have experience facilitating substance abuse groups for parolees as well as providing counseling services for those with substance abuse concerns. I have experience and training in working with eating disorders, anxiety, addiction, depression, and trauma among many other things.

My passion is to help people grow through circumstances and difficulties that arise. I meet clients where they are and feel privileged to walk the journey of discovery with them. I believe that treating the whole person allows for balance of physical, emotional, and mental health. I utilize techniques such as cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, as well as strength based approaches.

I value trust and open communication within the therapeutic relationship. I believe that the therapeutic relationship provides a safe and supportive environment for growth and healing. Together we will create a custom plan to help you manage everyday life challenges and to make positive changes toward growth and healing.
