I am a dedicated social work professional with nine years of experience and a passion for supporting youth, parents, and individuals through challenging life circumstances.

Throughout my career, I have worked alongside individuals, families, schools, and community organizations to address behavioral, emotional, educational, and social needs. I strive to create safe and supportive environments where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered while also being encouraged to take ownership of their growth.

My approach to social work is grounded in empathy, authenticity, and meeting people where they are. I believe that meaningful therapeutic relationships do not have to feel rigid or clinical. I bring a relaxed, down-to-earth, and person-centered approach to my work, while still maintaining professionalism, structure, and accountability.

I consider myself a naturally holistic person who values connection, individuality, and creating spaces where people can feel comfortable being themselves. I believe people are more open to growth when they feel genuinely heard, respected, and accepted without judgment.

I earned my Masters of Social Work from Madonna University. I have experience in youth development, care coordination, juvenile restorative services, case management, community-based services, and advocacy.

I am an LLMSW completing my residency as a clinical therapist supervisee under the direction of a Supervisor who holds the National Association of Social Workers Michigan Certificate in Core Supervision.

As a recent Master’s of Social Work graduate from Boston College, I have found my calling in social work by creating a space where people feel comfortable being themselves, feel heard, and know that they don’t have to navigate everything on their own. I believe everyone has a story, and that story deserves to be understood without judgment. I’m interested in working with individuals who may be going through life transitions, stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, self-esteem concerns, or simply feeling stuck and unsure of what comes next. Wherever you are in your journey, I want you to feel welcomed and supported.

My previous experience and focus in the therapy field have been providing supportive services to survivors of domestic violence and interpersonal relationship challenges. Through this position, I want to continue to provide services to these individuals and expand on my knowledge and support to best serve my clients. I hope to provide a warm, compassionate, and client-centered approach to therapy. I believe you know yourself and your experiences better than anyone, so I see therapy as something we work through together rather than something I simply “do” to you. I want my clients to feel comfortable being open and honest, while also feeling supported and challenged when needed. I value the differences in experiences, backgrounds, cultures, relationships, and how that can shape each of us into who we are as individuals and how we view and understand the world. I believe that you are in session for my support, but you are the only expert on your own experiences and lead by being true to yourself and what is important to you.

Creating a space where people feel a little less alone and a little more supported in their lives has become a passion of mine. Throughout my graduate education and clinical experiences, I’ve learned how important it is to listen with empathy, remain open-minded, and meet each person where they are. Those experiences have continued to shape the kind of therapist I want to be. I hope that when you leave a session, you feel heard, understood, and perhaps a little more hopeful than when we started.
