About me
I am an clinical social worker with more than 20 years experience working with those living with depression, anxiety, trauma disorders among other mental health concerns. I work with those from older teens to adults approaching end of life stages who live within our communities including but not limited to those in Muskegon, Whitehall, Spring Lake, Grand Haven as I located in Muskegon. I also engage in telehealth for virtual therapy for those redoing withing the state of Michigan.
of experience working with various populations in multiple settings, I believe that prioritizing mental well being is a key to happiness and life satisfaction. Over the past 15 years I have shifted my focus toward working with clients desiring to process complex trauma, life transitions, and chronic concerns. I am also open to helping those living with depression, anxiety and other mental health concerns, not only those related to trauma.
It is important to consider you as the expert in your own life & me more as an outside observer. I can offer insight and skills for you to see if they fit your needs. We process concerns you have integrating numerous therapeutic approaches, including but not limited to: Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, Mindfulness, Solution Focused & more.
Making that call and keeping that first appointment can be such a hard thing to do, you deserve honesty and integrity from the start. The first time we meet will be an introductory session where you can share with me what you are looking for in therapy.
