Great work! You're focusing on you. You are looking to heal, and are reaching out for support. Taking the first step to find a good match is a huge undertaking. As people we all have struggles from trauma to substance use, relational issues, life transitions, emotional issues and stress. I strive to provide a safe and comfortable space for healing. I believe the therapeutic relationship is sacred, trust is to be earned not given and I will work hard to earn your trust. Every day is an opportunity to heal, learn and grow.
My role as a therapist is to serve as a guide to assist in your healing journey . You are the narrator of your life and I would be honored to support you on your journey. I have been a practicing therapist since 2011. I believe in healing the mind, body and spirit through multiple approaches. I can assist in finding the right one for you.
I am trained in EMDR and use EFT, person centered therapy, supportive therapy, and Relapse Prevention Therapy. I am a fully licensed social worker in the State of Michigan as well as a Certified Advanced Alcohol and Addictions Drug Counselor and an Auricular Detox Specialist. Contact me for support.
