Sometimes life can feel heavy, like it is just too much to deal with alone. If you've experienced trauma, chronic stress, emotional neglect, loss or childhood wounds, reach out. Having a safe place to process the painful memories can help. Maybe you turn to unhealthy coping skills like drinking or drugs to mask the depression? As an addiction specialist, I get it. If you feel anxious, depressed and need someone to listen without judgement, I'm here for you. In therapy, clients can uncover the solutions that reside within themselves. When you're ready to choose a better tomorrow, take that step forward and schedule with me today.
I'm a fully Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and a Certified Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor. I specialize in working with adults who are navigating anxiety, depression, grief, burnout, trauma, relationship challenges and substance abuse. I believe that life challenges can hold you back or be a catalyst for growth. It is okay to reach out for support.
I understand how heavy things can feel when we are struggling. I offer a grounded, compassionate presence and practical tools to help you thrive. Schedule directly on the Best Life Therapy website linked in this profile. I'm accepting new clients for both remote and in-person sessions in Davison and Flint. I also have some weekend appointments available.

Groups
Grief Groups led by the CEO of Best Life Therapy
This in-person group runs for 6 weeks at the Best Life Therapy in Flint township. It is open to Best Life Therapy clients, begins September 18th and will reoccur throughout the year. The group is for adults who have experienced the loss of a spouse, a significant other, an adult child, a sibling or individuals who have had multiple losses. During your intake with me, we will explore where you are at in the grief process to determine if his group might be a good fit for you. Sometimes healing comes when we feel supported by a community.
