I obtained my bachelor’s in Social Work cum laude from Oakland University in 2017 and a Masters of Social Work cum laude with a concentration in psychodynamics from Wayne State University in 2019. It took several years longer to obtain these degress due to working full time and my various internships, all of which very much contributes to my real world understanding of client problems. This also allowed time for the information to be truly understood and applied before I even started seeing clients!  

I worked in a group practice setting with my own caseload while mentoring other therapists before going independent. I have been successfully working in private practice for 7 years! I have additional experience working with the developmentally disabled community, a personal passion that led to my social work journey.

I've spent time in a probation department assisting in substance abuse courts, as well as regular defendant cases. This experience was invaluable to cementing my understanding of a systems perspective, the deeper workings of the nature of addiction and its consequences.

 There were plenty of bumps along the way! I love being a therapist and take our work together seriously.  I’m very open-minded, direct, have a sense of humor, and am dedicated to my own learning and growth to help provide the best services I can.
