About My Clients
Do you struggle with feeling your full range of emotions? Do you often feel like you need to escape? I understand the feeling! Holistic practices can reduce anxiety and lead to addiction recovery. I look forward to helping you improve your relationship with yourself and with others, and take your life back!
My Background and Approach
I received my MSW from Wayne State University and am currently working toward my PhD in Clinical Social Work from the Institute for Clinical Social Work. I am a certified trauma practitioner, a foundational level Theraplay therapist, and a Certified Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor. I use play and art and draws from psychodynamic principles to treat and assess adolescents and adults. I believe each individual should be treated with curiosity, compassion, and individual attention. My specialty areas include: childhood trauma, gender issues, anxiety, depression, addictions and adult survivors of childhood trauma.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe we are in charge of our stories, and our lives. Trauma can make us feel as if we only have one story-I want to help you discover and embrace new narratives and ways of being in your life. I believe addiction is a symptom of trauma. I myself have experienced anxiety and childhood trauma. Through my own therapy, I learned to move through the feelings of fear that kept me stuck. I am now driven, motivated and ready to help you take charge of your own life. I don't discriminate against anyone. I make it a point to be actively involved in community action groups to continue to fight for equality and equity for all. I believe black lives matter, all genders are valid, and science is real!
