About My Clients
My ideal client is someone who understands the importance of collaboration, self-reflection and continued education in the treatment process. I enjoy working with someone who appreciates being challenged and being held accountable. Authenticity, humor, self-awareness and curiosity are all values that I bring to each session, and I have seen outstanding growth in the clients who also share these values.
My Background and Approach
I am a fully licensed clinical social worker and completed my undergraduate studies in social work with a concentration in substance use at Central Michigan University and graduate studies with a concentration in trauma-informed care at Western Michigan University. When working with me, you can expect reliable, patient, empathetic, and attentive care. My diverse experiences, personally and professionally, have increased my ability to integrate many models of care into my work, including Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy, Addiction Treatment, Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Trauma informed care for everyone with no exceptions. I appreciate the individuality of each person and their experiences which is highlighted in my ability to connect with and readily build trust with those that I am supporting.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I feel strongly that the only way to reach self-actualization is to work continuously at meeting your physical, mental and emotional needs. These needs are ever changing and require the support of others, ongoing self monitoring, and knowledge of the right skills and lifestyles for the person seeking them.
