About My Clients
I work with clients from all different backgrounds, ages and social identities and have much experience with BIPOC and LGBTQ+ identified clients, including trans clients who are looking for support to access affirming care. I am certified in Trauma-Focused CBT and have worked with youth and families to heal after trauma experiences. Many of my adult clients seek out space to deal with past trauma, improve relationships, and overall wellness and quality of life.
My Background and Approach
I'm a licensed clinical and macro social worker who has been practicing in Detroit since 2011. I am certified in TF-CBT and have extensive experience guiding youth, adults and families in working through traumatic experiences. I also have an Addictions Certificate from the University of Michigan and am competent in working with clients who want to make changes in addictive behaviors or how they relate to substances. I have a background in working with LGBTQ+ clients and am knowledgable about WPath Standards of Care to help clients access affirming health care. I use a range of evidence based approaches, including CBT, motivational interviewing, mindfulness, parts work, and psychodynamic techniques. I also incorporate the science of positive psychology and strength based approaches rather than focusing on pathology.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe in social justice and equity and that everyone deserves to live their best life. I incorporate these values into my work and into all aspects of my life. I believe that connection to ourselves and others is crucial for staying well, being present and enacting change in our lives.
