Life transitions are hard for everyone, but if you are feeling overwhelmed with what life is serving up to you right now, I’m here to help. I’ve worked in the mental health field for almost 30 years; in public mental health, college counseling centers, outpatient clinics and doing K-12 school social work as well. I’ve also been a Kalamazoo resident for over 25 years, so I’m aware of the many resources that this community has to offer.
I am a Licensed Masters Social Worker and my specialties include life transistions, grief and loss, anxiety and depression. I provide solution-focused therapy, mindfulness-focused treatment, and strength-focused therapy.
I have special interest in working with the BIPOC population and with college students struggling with life transitions. I’m a former Western Michigan University Sidecuse Health Center therapist and love to work with college aged clients who are adjusting to young adult life and the responsibilities that come with it. I also have an interest in working with Black clients who are trying to find their way as they navigate majority white spaces and encounter discrimination.
I’m also a former reserve deputy who understands law enforcement and the unique demands that it places on the lives of all first responders.
It’s not easy to reach out for help, but it’s often the first step in changing the path of your life. I offer flexible scheduling, telehealth options and a comfortable office space in Portage.
I accept Blue Cross, Blue Shield, Blue Care Network, United Health Care, Cigna, McLaren, Medicare, MESSA, Molina, Optum, Priority Health, and Humana.
