Great to meet you!

Welcome!

I believe that each person is worthy and capable of healing. though we all sometimes lose our way along life's journey. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (Wayne State) I am committed to walking alongside to provide a safe, non-judgmental space to help you navigate through challenging times.

I focus on providing compassionate support for adults dealing with anxiety and depression, helping you unpack the underlying causes of your distress.

My approach to therapy

I am committed to walking alongside you, utilizing tailored, evidence-based approaches to help you rediscover your strength and restore balance.

What you can expect from me

I encourage transparency and open communication, and I invite feedback on how our sessions are going to ensure you feel supported and heard. In our initial session we will discuss presenting problems as well as relevant background information.

Also, we will establish at least one or two actionable client-centered goals.
