- LMSW
I am a Master Level Clinical Social Worker working for the local Community Mental Health in Northern Michigan in a clinical capacity for the past 24 years. My experiences are broad collaborating with individuals struggling with: anxiety, depression, trauma, chronic pain, family, relational issues and a variety of other issues. My approach is to listen carefully as you are the expert of you. Supporting your journey to health is my primary focus. Trained in methods such as: Eye Movement Desensitization, Motivational Interviewing, Parent Management Training, and many others, these skills can provide you different ways to harness your inner gifts and talents. Everyone is unique. No one comes to therapy without some significant pain bringing them to reach out. I encourage you to trust your gut as you begin this process. May your journey to fuller health bring you solace.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
