What's My Approach to Therapy?
Seeking support is a courageous and meaningful step, and I strive to provide a safe, non-judgmental, and supportive space where clients feel heard and respected. I believe healing begins within a welcoming therapeutic environment that centers on your individual needs, strengths, and goals.
I am a licensed clinical social worker in Michigan with over 15 years of experience working with diverse populations, including veterans, children, teens, and adults across hospital, outpatient, and community-based settings. My approach is collaborative and compassionate, with a strong focus on building a trusting therapeutic relationship.
I utilize evidence-based modalities, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), strength-based therapy, and solution-focused therapy. Treatment is thoughtfully tailored to support emotional growth, develop effective coping strategies, and promote meaningful, lasting change.
I believe that with consistent support and positive guidance, healing is possible. I am committed to walking alongside you on your journey toward greater balance, clarity, and well-being, and I invite you to reach out when you are ready to begin.
