I am an experienced social worker based in the State of Michigan. This is a career that has spanned over 25 years. I enjoy working with individuals and families who want to achieve goals that allow them to pursue their self-identified purpose. My preferred therapy interventions include cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and trauma informed therapy. I am also experienced in working with persons diagnosed with ADHD and autism. I believe that therapy is a good way to map out a better future for oneself, no matter what the mental health diagnosis may be.
My style is respectful and thoughtful, but direct. I love working with people from all backgrounds. The best therapy outcomes take place when you are in charge of your goals, and when you are in charge of the work that helps you to achieve your goals. It is important to be open-minded about change, and that may be the most difficult task in therapy. I'm ready to cheer you on as you pursue this journey of self-improvement. What are your memories of the most fun events and what are your memories of the most enjoyable people you have met? These are seemingly small, but significant factors that will make you strong for the future! Reclaim your purpose now, because life is not a rehearsal. But it's okay if you have to practice improvements every single day!
