Individual Therapy
DBT
Welcome. Taking the first step toward therapy is a brave choice, and I am here to meet you exactly where you are on your journey. As a social worker, my goal is to provide a compassionate, person-centered space where you can gain the skills and insights you need to improve your quality of life. My passion lies in supporting individuals through life's most challenging transitions. I have experience working with older adults and their caregivers, addressing issues such as dementia and chronic illnesses, grief, loss, and complex life transitions, trauma and PTSD. While my experience began with older adults, I am dedicated to working with individuals of all ages who are navigating a wide range of mental health challenges, including, anxiety, depression, bipolar, and other mood disorders, trauma, and personality disorders.
I believe that effective therapy is a collaboration. I draw from a diverse set of evidence-based approaches to tailor our sessions to your unique needs, including, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Strengths-based and motivational interviewing techniques.
I earned my Master of Social Work (MSW) from Grand Valley State University in 2022, following a bachelor’s degree in Family Studies from Central Michigan University (2016). My career has included valuable roles assisting the community, such as case manager/medical social Worker at Care Resources PACE program, supporting older adults and their caregivers and
internships with the Alzheimer’s Association and the Area Agency on Aging of Western Michigan.
I am a proud ally and committed to providing affirming care to members of the LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC communities. My practice is founded on the belief that everyone deserves a supportive and non-judgmental space to heal.
I look forward to partnering with you to find the skills that will help you thrive.
