About My Clients

Many of the people I work with feel overwhelmed, stressed, or like they have to hold everything together for everyone else. You may be dealing with anxiety, family stress, life transitions, or feeling mentally exhausted. You might be used to pushing through and showing up for others, but don’t always have a space for yourself. This is a place where you can slow down, talk openly, and feel supported without judgment.

My Background and Approach

I have a Master’s degree in Social Work and am a Limited Licensed Master Social Worker (LLMSW) in Michigan. My background includes working in community mental health, crisis response, and correctional settings, where I supported individuals and families through high-stress and challenging situations. My approach is supportive, real, and focused on helping you feel more in control of your thoughts and emotions. I help you understand what you’re going through, build coping skills that work in everyday life, and create small, realistic changes that lead to meaningful progress. My goal is to provide a space where you feel comfortable, heard, and not judged.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe everyone deserves a space where they can be real, feel heard, and not judged. Life can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re used to being the one others rely on, and I believe people shouldn’t have to carry that alone. I value honesty, compassion, and creating an environment where you feel safe enough to open up at your own pace. I believe that change doesn’t have to be perfect or happen all at once. Small steps, consistency, and the right support can lead to meaningful growth over time. I am passionate about helping people better understand themselves, feel more in control of their emotions, and build a life that feels more manageable and aligned with who they are. I strive to create a space where all individuals feel welcomed, respected, and supported, no matter where they are in their journey.
