I earned my Bachelors of Social Work from Saginaw Valley State University and my Masters of Social Work from Michigan State University. My clinical experiences have afforded me the opportunities to utilize my excellent communication skills, welcoming personality, and cultural competence in order to quickly build rapport and assist diverse client populations. I am a Nationally Certified Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapist (TFCBT).
I have a passion for working with children, youth, and adolescents who have experienced trauma, as well as with young adults with Adverse Childhood Experiences. Additionally, I also work with high performing adolescents, whether that be academia, athletics, other specialized skills, and or a combination. Other diagnoses I work with include Anxiety, Depression, Adjustments, other Mood Disorders, and ADHD, among others.

I have experience working with the homeless and addicted in Atlanta, the sexually deviant in Memphis, the parentless and grieving in Africa, and in the juvenile justice system in Saginaw. I am confident in my assessment and treatment planning skills as well as my ability to support clients throughout the duration of their programming. If you feel that I may  be a good fit to meet your mental wealth needs, please reach out today to set up a consultation.
