Hi Everyone! I am licensed in Michigan with 16 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, coping with addictions, coping with grief and loss, & depression. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first sessions together I like to get to know more about you, your background and why you decided to get help. The usual intake asks a lot of questions, but do not worry its all confidential and the rest of our sessions are not in a question and answer format.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Having worked with people with addictions for the past 10 years, substance use and abuse is my expertise. I also worked in a school setting and community mental health for 5 years so working with people with dual diagnosis mental health and addiction is not an issue as well.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I enjoy working with Millennials. But honestly, I have worked with ages 0 - 80 years old. Of course, age 0 includes pregnant mothers. I noticed that Gen Z college students enjoy working with me on their goals and career aspirations. I have a background in School Social Work so working with adults over 18 years old with ADHD is not a problem.
