“My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style.” Maya Angelou

I am passionate about servicing my community and working with individuals who have a desire to be the best versions of themselves. My role in the therapeutic process is to create a safe space where I can assist you in recognizing, accepting, and working through your life issues. I am a real therapist with a heart to serve real individuals in a realistic way.

You are the master of your journey, I am simply here to help guide you toward your goals.

I received my Bachelor of Science in Social Work from Eastern Michigan University and my Master of Social work from Spring Arbor University. I have been a practicing Social Worker for the last six years. I have gained experience in an assortment of settings like juvenile detention, underserved communities, in-home care, and individual/group therapy, to name a few. Areas I work with are anxiety, depression, sexual abuse, trauma, parenting, and much more.
