About me

I graduated from Michigan State University with my MSW. After graduating I spent 6 years in Hospice providing grief counseling, stress management, and caregiver support to family members. I have recently transitioned to primary working with individuals with chronic pain and have been doing so since May of 2021. I genuinely want to work in collaboration with my patient’s to meet their goals and needs to manage chronic pain, anxiety, depression and trauma. The current modalities that I use with patient’s are Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT), Cognitive Behavior therapy, and and EMDR, as well as relaxation therapy. I believe that the client-therapist relationship is the most important aspect of therapy and work hard to get to know you as a person to organize your treatment plan that meets your needs and update the treatment plan as needed. Thank you for taking the first step. It can be hard to reach out for help when we need it the most. Look forward to working with you. :)
