Meet Our Consultants

I am a school social worker in Michigan and have experience working in the school setting with kids for the past several years. Although, I have spent close to a decade working in the community mental health agencies working with the SPMI (Severe and persistent mental illness) working with children, adults and couples. I have experience working with trauma, addiction, personality and mood disorders. I have training in DBT, CBT, MI, TF-CBT and am a certified EMDR (Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) therapist and an EMDRIA approved consultant. I have vast experience working with children and adults and utilizing EMDR to help process their trauma and believe that the therapeutic relationship and proper front loading is one of the strongest factors for a successful experience for our clients.
