Teletherapy for Michigan

I enjoy working with people from all walks of life, backgrounds, beliefs, and cultures. I have experience working with men, women, and children. I believe showing up authentically with ourselves and others is one of the bravest and most liberating things we can do in our lives. Therapy is a safe place to remember who we truly are and discover the power that each of us possess to create a life that we enjoy.

Life is a journey of ups and downs, and we are not given a manual on how to live a happy and fulfilling life. We learn and grow from our past experiences and sometimes we get stuck and continue to make the same decisions until we acknowledge them so we can move on. When we know better, we tend to do better. We are all worthwhile individuals that are capable of change with a little help, encouragement, and empowerment. If life is not going the way you want it to, today is another day to make new choices and begin a path in a new direction. Are you willing to invest in yourself and make the changes needed to live your best life?

I am a Licensed Social Worker in Michigan with over 15 years of clinical experience in the mental health world. I specialize in managing anxiety, depression, anger, low self esteem, grief and loss, relationships, life transitions, and trauma. Feelings can hit hard and be confusing. Trauma and/or negative experiences can alter our brain in ways that make us more vulnerable to intense, negative emotions. This can create a state of mindlessness throwing our awareness and acceptance off balance. We can become more reactive and at times dissociate from experiences, not truly enjoying life and unable to recall certain memories.
