I feel privileged to have worked as a licensed social worker with individuals and their families for over 25 years as they navigate some of life's most challenging moments. My early career included providing psychotherapy services to individuals after earning my MSW from Wayne State University. Because I have a tremendous interest in the body/mind connection, it wasn't long before I transitioned into working in the hospital setting, helping individuals learn to live with chronic health conditions. I enjoy teaching others and presenting about these topics, but my real passion is working alongside people as they manage difficult times. I welcome clients of all backgrounds and perspectives. Working with individuals or care partners struggling with various aging issues such as retirement review, chronic illness, dementia, or other life transitions has become a tremendous passion of my daily practice. I look forward to sharing my experience with my clients in a more private yet structured setting.
