When clients come to me I see our work as a partnership. You are the expert on your history, family and experience. I can offer you my experience and training as a clinician to explore the challenges you face. Together we will identify the strengths you already have, the factors both internal and external that are negatively impacting you and develop strategies for you to be successful moving forward. In my almost 15 years in the field of social work I have worked with individuals in many settings and been honored to be part of their journeys. I have worked with individuals on issues including life transitions, relationships, international acculturation and time/stress management. I have extensive experience working with survivors of domestic and sexual violence. I have worked in higher education, medical, shelter and community based settings. I have done training in Acceptance Commitment therapy (ACT), Solution Focused Therapy and Motivational Intervening. I recently completed Sex Therapy and Sexual Health Education, Sexual Health Certificate program at the University of Michigan. I will bring all that I have learned in my work and training to our partnership.
