Some of my specialties include narcissistic abuse recovery and navigating the narcissistic family system, addiction recovery, PTSD, personality disorders, ASD, and ADHD.
Loss can feel never-ending. Grief, heartbreak, anxiety, and emotional pain can take over daily life and resurface old wounds. Trauma and loss often create patterns that affect relationships, self-worth, physical health, and peace of mind. Through my private practice, I provide a supportive space for adults working through grief, traumatic loss, depression, anxiety, relationship struggles, and unresolved emotional pain. Healing is possible, and no one has to navigate it alone.
I help clients break free from self-defeating cycles, process past wounds and present struggles, discover hidden blockages and realize sustainable healing.

Previous to my current position as Professor of Social Work at Saginaw Valley State University, I worked as a family preservationist, a child/adolescent therapist, and a substance abuse counselor.
My work as a therapist is finding the treasure that I know is inside of you. I realize that your “gem” is often there, but covered up by years of bad habits, unfortunate events, or mental health issues beyond your control. I believe that you have your own answers to your problems and I am here to help you clarify and find those answers. I take a person-centered approach. I may challenge you, but do so with compassion and understanding that life is a journey with bumps in the road for all of us.

I work with clients who may be struggling with addiction, personality disorders, or trauma.
As a clinician, I believe in meeting clients where they are, identifying their strengths and barriers, in order to assist in developing a personalized plan for treatment and life management. I do not believe in a “cookie-cutter” method, and I am very open to exploring new methods and using multiple approaches to help each client individually. I assist my clients with understanding their behavior patterns and the changes they want to make while in treatment. Being in therapy means some form of change. Change can be different from client to client because each client has unique needs.

For over 27 years, I have been helping people understand and benefit from the relationship between what they think with how they feel and what they do. My focus for therapy is to help people identify workable solutions, effectively communicate their needs, and learn healthy ways to cope with life stressors. I listen, learn, and then empower people to set and achieve their goals. I encourage people to focus on their overall health, utilize their support system, assert themselves, and practice good self-care. I work with children 11+ years old and adults.

Have you ever been curious about changing your relationship with alcohol?
I use different evidenced based treatment modalities to help people change their relationship with drugs/ alcohol. I work along side folks to help understand why substances have created a challenge and learn to break cycles and change patterns. I see people in all stages of recovery. I use a non-judgemental approach to help normalize the reasons why we drink.

I am a Licensed Master of Social Work and a Certified Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor.
My therapeutic intervention is looking at the past as necessary in making changes for the future. I'm certain that any unwanted behavior can be unlocked by recognizing the purpose or wanted outcome for said behavior and my passion is helping you identify that unmet need and make healthy changes. I enjoy working with clients that are willing to do things outside of the therapeutic office setting such as writing, art, and/or practicing skills learned, and then reporting back in session the helpfulness of each strategy.

I have worked with most problematic areas such as substance abuse, mental health disorders, PTSD and Trauma.
The ideal client would be an individual who is engaged in the process of change and healing. One who is open and willing to share. To take a quote from, The Purpose Driven Life, 'There is no growth without change, no change without fear or loss, and no loss without pain.' If it is time to let go of the old and experience the new, allow me to support the journey.
