If you're carrying anxiety, depression, grief, or loss and looking for a steady, nonjudgmental place to work through it, I'd love to help. I'm a licensed social worker in Michigan with 21 years in mental health, including specialized training in Play Therapy. I've worked with people of all ages, and with parents looking to build healthier connections with their kids. Together we'll find coping skills that actually fit your life.
I view clients through a lens of positive, unconditional regard. I meet you with warmth and without judgment, believing you already carry real strength even when it's hard to feel it. In our work together, we build on that strength, and when it helps, we use creative, hands-on approaches like art therapy and play therapy to process what's hard to put into words.
Our first session is about getting to know each other, no pressure to share more than feels right. We'll talk through what's bringing you in, whether that's anxiety, depression, grief, or stress, and start building a plan that fits your life and your pace. I use a strength-based approach, and depending on what helps you process, we may bring in art therapy or play therapy techniques. You can expect a warm, affirming space where you're never rushed.
