LMSW-C, ADHD-CCSP
I approach therapy as a collaborative and calm process, focused on understanding what’s happening beneath the surface. Many people come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, frustrated with themselves, or unsure why things feel harder than they “should.”
My role is to help slow things down, make sense of patterns, and support meaningful change at a pace that feels manageable. I don’t believe in pushing people to fix themselves or to move faster than their nervous system allows. Therapy is a space for clarity, regulation, and building steadier ways forward—one step at a time.

Professional Background
I am a fully licensed clinical social worker with over seven years of experience providing therapy to adults in Michigan. I hold a Master of Social Work degree and have worked with anxiety, depression, ADHD-related overwhelm, burnout, and the effects of ongoing stress and trauma.
I’m committed to ongoing learning and approach this work with care, curiosity, and respect for each person’s lived experience.
Framework
My work is informed by several evidence-based practices, including cognitive and acceptance-based approaches, trauma-informed care, and skills that support emotional regulation and nervous system awareness. Rather than applying a single method across the board, I draw from different approaches depending on what best fits for each person and stage of therapy.
The focus is always on understanding patterns, supporting regulation, and building tools that feel usable in everyday life—not on following a rigid formula.
How I Work
I believe therapy works best when it’s attuned, flexible, and responsive to the person in front of me. Many clients come in feeling pressure to explain themselves clearly or to “do therapy right.” I don’t expect that.
My role is to help create space to slow things down, notice patterns without judgment, and make sense of what’s been carrying so much weight. Change tends to happen through understanding and support—not pressure—and I work intentionally to keep therapy grounded, practical, and sustainable.
A Good Fit
I tend to work best with adults who are reflective, curious about themselves, and open to slowing things down, even if they’re not sure where to start. Many of the people I work with are used to functioning well on the outside while feeling overwhelmed, mentally and emotionally fatigued, or out of touch with themselves.
Therapy is often a good fit for those who want support in understanding patterns, reducing self-criticism, and creating change in a way that feels steady and sustainable, rather than rushed or forced.
