About Me

I earned a Master’s degree in Clinical Social Work from Grand Valley State University in 1996 and am a licensed Clinical Social Worker (LMSW). Over the past 29 years, I have supported clients with a wide range of mental health concerns and have learned from skilled professionals across inpatient and outpatient settings. This experience has deepened my understanding of mental health from psychological, emotional, and biological perspectives.

My goal is to provide a calm, supportive environment where clients feel safe exploring their experiences and symptoms. I help individuals gain insight, reduce distress, build confidence, and reconnect with a sense of meaning and purpose. Learning to recognize and work with fear, unhelpful thought patterns, and behavioral responses can be life-changing.

I am easy-going, kind, honest, and open in sessions, and I enjoy working with older teens and adults navigating depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, panic attacks, postpartum challenges, OCD, borderline personality disorder, mood disorders, and significant life stressors or transitions. I support individuals experiencing both mild and complex concerns.

My clinical work draws from evidence-based approaches including CBT, DBT, Family Systems, and Mindfulness. In addition, I am a Reiki Master Teacher and integrate Reiki as a complementary modality to support nervous system regulation, stress reduction, and mind-body balance.

I also offer spiritual coaching for clients seeking deeper self-understanding, alignment, and personal growth beyond symptom relief. Spiritual coaching focuses on exploring inner beliefs, values, and patterns at a soul-level, supporting conscious living, clarity, and empowerment. When appropriate, this integrative approach allows clients to address healing on emotional, physical, and spiritual levels—honoring the whole person and their unique journey.
