About Me

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based out of Michigan, seeing clients remotely who live in both Michigan and Illinois.

I received my Masters in Social Work from the University of Michigan, specializing in interpersonal practice with children and youth. I worked for many years in public schools, where I supported youth and families experiencing trauma, social stressors, homelessness, as well as mental health and behavioral challenges.

Most recently, I worked in a pediatric hospital, supporting patients and their caregivers experiencing challenges related to chronic illness, medical trauma, caregiver burnout, and family conflict. I have worked extensively with patients and families coping with organ transplant, short bowel syndrome, medical complexity and end-of-life care.

As a woman and mother, I have personal experience dealing with challenges related to body image, parenting, perfectionism, anxiety, and birth/medical trauma. My own child has a medical disorder, so I deeply understand the reality of parenting a child with complex needs. I have done my own work with a therapist in these areas, as well as professional trainings to better support my clients.

I love spending time with my partner and 3-year-old. I love to cook, I try to be crafty (with mixed results), and I read as much as I can. I am truly looking forward to learning more about you, your strengths and challenges, and what you’re looking for in a therapist.
