I am a Licensed Master Social Worker in Ann Arbor, Michigan who has been practicing since 2020. I am a dedicated therapist who welcomes adults and adolescents (ages 14+) navigating a variety of challenges, including, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, difficult life transitions, and beyond. With a special passion for supporting individuals facing chronic and acute illnesses, I bring a personal understanding to this work, drawing from my own experiences with chronic conditions. My approach emphasizes uncovering and strengthening the innate resilience within each client, tailoring therapy to meet their unique needs and circumstances.

I believe in the transformative power of therapy as a collaborative journey. My practice blends techniques to address the mind-body connection, helping clients increase self-awareness, process past experiences, regulate emotions, and develop effective coping strategies. Whether addressing grief, stress, or personal growth, I strive to create a supportive space where clients feel seen, heard, and empowered to navigate life’s complexities with confidence and hope. My mission is to meet clients where they are, set attainable goals, and celebrate their progress toward greater well-being and independence.

Blog Post Title One

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.

Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.
