LMSW

You are stronger than you think you are and have the ability to make change happen, but life is complicated and it's easy to lose your way and forget this. Together we will work to identify goals and objectives, build on strengths, and overcome challenges so you can move forward. I'm passionate about working with people of color, humans exploring their identities, and those searching for meaning and purpose in life. I also enjoy mentoring early career social workers and I hold a Certificate in Core Supervision issued by the NASW. I am licensed to practice in Michigan and in Vermont via telehealth.

I utilize evidence-based practices including CBT, DBT, Attachment-Based Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, IFS, Short-term Solution Focused and Expressive Writing Therapy. I’m a member of the NASW and a recipient of the Promise Award presented by the Michigan Coalition Against Domestic and Sexual Violence (MCADSV) for outstanding advocacy.

About online counseling

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
