About

Tell us a little about your social work practice/services
I have experience working with teens, college-aged young adults, and adults. I specialize in working with individuals with depression, anxiety, gender affirming care, developmental and life transitions, work-life balance, school or work struggles, and improving holistic wellness and mindfulness. Each person is the expert on their own life, and I see my role as working with the person to find what works best for them. I do this through a strengths-based and holistic approach that is based in understanding how a person is impacted by: people in their life, institutions, communities, and culture overall.

I use a variety of methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), influences from Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I have specialized training and experience working with Transgender, Gender Nonconforming, and Non- Binary (TGNCNB) to provide gender affirming care, including letter writing. have completed the NASW-MI's certificate in Clinical Concerns & Gender Identity as well as additional letter writing training from Kate Kauffman, LPC with Brave Space LLC.

There have been a lot of changes for all of us over the past couple of years. Having someone to speak with is always important, and right now it is more critical than ever. Please don't hesitate to reach out. If I'm not the right fit, I'll help you find someone who is.
