I have learned over my career that children need support to feel comfortable sharing what is bothering them and to learn new and productive ways of acting.
I have been practicing social work for the past 36 years with children, teens, and families. I started My career working for a youth residential care facility. This experience working with the child welfare and juvenile court system has taught me that most parents are doing the best job they know how to do. I spent the last 24 years working in the Michigan public school system with k-5 students. I have worked with students diagnosed with various emotional and developmental disorders during my tenure. I work with individuals, groups and families.

Having over 15 years of experience working with children, families and adults in various capacities, l am familiar with how life can impact us in various stages of life.
Safety, trust, honesty, and a nonjudgemental, listening ear. These are most of the things we look for when working to identify someone to share our most intimate concerns with, or someone just to vent to. It's not always easy to share personal information with someone you don't know, but I can assure you that together we'll get there!

Give it some thought and if you feel my professional experiences coupled with my therapeutic style might be a good fit for you or your child, contact me for free consultation.
I will support the growth of teens and adults who struggle with self confidence, decision making, relationships, and planning for the future. Exploration will begin with examining home life, social skills, and aspects of career or school. If one is struggling with any of these elements, it is likely having a negative impact on other areas. In addition, I can improve a student-athlete's performance in competition. By taking the same approach, an athlete can maximize their potential by identifying and improving other areas of their life away from the game.
