Certified Trauma Professional and Behavioral Addictions Counselor

My hope is to help you toward self-empowerment and growth in the wisdom you’ve already acquired. We will work together to help you manage life stressors, including work life, PTSD and to heal grief. Relationships can be tough and sometimes a person outside the system can shine light on ways to negotiate and resolve problems.

In addition to depression and anxiety, the specialties I work with include behavioral addictions such as binge eating, gambling, spending, and pornography. I utilize a combination of Gottman and Humanistic Psychological approaches.

I am a licensed clinical social worker in both California and Michigan. I’ve thirty years of experience helping people achieve the outcome they are seeking. My therapeutic approach creates an opportunity to experience deep and lasting change.

My previous career as an RN is often useful for those with medical concerns. Additional education degrees are from, but not limited to: Masters of Social Work from Michigan State University, Psychology Specialist from Center for Humanistic Studies and Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from Union Institute.

I provide telehealth services only.

Here are the insurances I take. Blue Cross/Blue Shield, Blue Care Network, Blue Cross Complete, McLaren Medicaid, and out-of network Humana.
