Being able to help others therapists and social workers to care for themselves better and heal from the pain they might have experienced as a kid or even during our professional work. I find using EMDR and other tools as the way to encourage healing that leads to amazing resilience and agency. As a licensed clinical social worker in Michigan, I have several years of experience in private practice, mental health, substance use, as a supervisor and within other systems of care.
Therapy is a collaborative experience where it is important that we work together to make sure you are getting your needs met through therapy. It is also important that you have choices, options and agency as well as feel you can say no any time during the process. I want to hear what works, I want to hear what does not work and ultimately I want you to know you are the expert of yourself and you already have everything you need to heal, it is often a matter of helping to uncover you authentic self and them it shine.
Our first session will be one in which we get to know each other and provide information about you that feel comfortable to share. In our first session, there is no pressure to share everything because you are welcome as you are. My main goal is to make sure you feel safe and connected with our relationship.
