I am a fully licensed clinical social worker in the state of Michigan (#6801087687)

Clinical Experience

I have worked in an In-Home Family Therapy program, providing therapy for children, couples, siblings, individuals, and families with acute psychiatric events/diagnoses and abuse/neglect backgrounds.

Following an internship during graduate school, I spent the next 13+ years at Gilda’s Club Metro Detroit — starting as the “Noogieland” (children/teens) program manager before being hired as the Program Director, providing a therapeutic group support environment for anyone affected by cancer.

In 2012, I decided to focus my career working with individuals and couples, starting at The Relationship Institute in Royal Oak before opening my private practice in 2019.

Therapeutic Practice & Style

Each person who walks into my office brings unique strengths and experiences, and thus, my approach is tailored to each client. I’m trained in CBT, Mindfulness, Strength-based, Family Systems, IFS, and Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy, Emotional Awareness & Expressive Therapy, and Brainspotting.

(***While Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy is not FDA approved, I facilitate integration work if interested.)
