Your mental health is as important as the breath you breathe. Therapy is a connection to things you desire and the barriers in life. The mind and body are often treated separately; but mental and physical health are closely connected. Your journey begins with addressing areas that are most troublesome for you; by pacing yourself, exploring acknowledgment of self-love and trusting the process.

My experience in social work goes beyond my MSW and clinical license - I have held positions mentoring Black youth, caring for children in foster care residential facilities, and working alongside survivors of domestic and sexual violence since 2017 within the state of MI.
My ideal client is someone who feels stuck, overwhelmed, or like they’re carrying too much. They may be navigating trauma, anxiety, self-worth, or identity issues and are ready for something to shift. They want a space where they can be real, where they don’t have to explain every part of who they are. They’re seeking healing, clarity, and support as they reconnect with themselves and move toward feeling whole again.

As a result, true healing will only occur within the context of relationship, and nature. I pride myself on having a positive, empowerment-based, and life-affirming approach to healing.

Choose the therapist, not the therapy. Quality mental health care is a real, human exchange; an opportunity to explore, strengthen, and change aspects of who you are. When psychotherapy is effective, the therapist and patient are creating openings, not closures. This is what heals.
