Couples therapists in Flint, MI

You might look like you have it together, but internally you’re overthinking everything, overgiving in relationships, and second-guessing yourself constantly. Many of my clients learned early on to prioritize others’ emotions, and now feel stuck, anxious, or unsure of what they actually want. I help you understand these patterns and break out of them so you can feel more confident, grounded, and clear in your relationships.

Finding a therapist that is the right fit for you can be daunting. I provide a non-judgmental space for you to be who you are and safely process your hardships. Life can be messy, embarrassing, hurtful and lonely. I'm here to work through it with you. I encourage all of the people I work with to understand that if nothing changes, nothing changes.

I have experience working with adults and teens. The biggest indicator of success in therapy is the quality of the therapeutic relationship. However, I work hard to stay up to date with treatment modalities to support a variety of mental health issues including but not limited to anxiety, depression, trauma/PTSD, and codependency.

Real change requires more than just talking, it requires intention, insight, and the right support. With over 40 years of experience as a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) and clinical leader, I have dedicated my career to helping individuals, families, and adolescents navigate life’s most complex challenges, including trauma, anxiety, stress, grief, depression, and family conflict. My approach is compassionate, structured, and results-driven, grounded in evidence-based practices such as Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT). Clients often experience me as warm, grounded, and direct, someone who creates a safe, nonjudgmental space while also helping them identify patterns, build insight, and take meaningful steps forward. I don’t believe in surface-level conversations; I believe therapy should lead to real, lasting progress. I am fully invested in your growth, meeting you where you are while also gently challenging you toward greater clarity, confidence, and empowerment. If you are ready to do the work, I am here to walk alongside you every step of the way.

I am a calm, welcoming social worker that strives to create a space for all of my clients to find their true selves and create a life that works best for them

I graduated with my Master’s degree in Social Work from the University of Akron in 2011 specializing in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and interpersonal relationships. Since that time I have worked in a variety of fields including community mental health services, foster care and adoption and in the schools. I am currently in my 5th year as a School Social Worker, where I service students Kindergarten through 12th grade. Starr Commonwealth Children of Trauma and Resilience Certification, a TRAILs School Partner that supports students with anxiety and depression, and IRRP Certified in Restorative Practices. I am experienced in Individual Education Plans, 504s as well as School Positive Behavior Intervention Plans to best support students with Autism, ADHD, Anxiety, Depression, and a variety of medical and behavioral needs.

Do you often find yourself feeling empty – as if you float through your days going through the motions, rather than living an abundant and thriving life? Life can be difficult, and no matter how strong one may be mentally, there is only so much stress one can shoulder alone before it becomes too much. I believe in working together collaboratively in order to unlock one’s innate ability to self-heal. Through support and guided introspection, the answers to our troubles become self-evident.

I have been providing individual and couples therapy to career-oriented professionals for more than 33 years. I specialize in premarital & marital therapy, divorce counseling for women, men's issues, career coaching and retirement planning.

I have a Master's degree from The University of Chicago.
