Hello, I’m Savannah (she/her). I am a Native (Ojibwa) woman originally from Michigan's Upper Peninsula. One of the most important parts of therapy is having a connected and trusting relationship with your therapist. I approach sessions with empathy and curiosity, often by asking open-ended and follow-up questions, so that I can get to know the true you and get a feel for what life is like in your shoes. I appreciate the strength and vulnerability it takes to open up and speak about your challenges, and would be honored to walk alongside you in your journey.
I am a Licensed Master's Social Worker (LMSW) trained in providing clinical therapy. I use a person-centered approach, meaning that I will use various techniques to tailor therapy to your specific preferences and needs. My approach is also strengths-based: You are the expert on yourself and have the ability to choose and create the life you want.
I would love to partner with you by offering a supportive, outside perspective to guide you in self-exploration, building coping skills, and moving from surviving to thriving.

I use a lot of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) in my therapy work with clients. I like this type of therapy because it has tools and skills that you can use in any given moment to help regulate your emotions, helps with honoring and acknowledging circumstances and experiences that you may feel conflicted about, and works on building life satisfaction long-term.
