I am an Accredited Clinical Social Worker licensed in the State of Michigan (LMSW, ACSW). I have my certification for Advance Addiction Counselor and as a Substance Abuse Professional (CAAC, SAP).  I specialize in addictions, life transitions, missing mother syndrome, abandonment issues, co-dependency, abuse and trauma. Through individual, family and group counseling, I have worked extensively with people who are struggling with addictions and whose lives have been affected by addictions.

 

I offer evaluations for Secretary of State Driver’s License Appeal Division and referrals from the Department of Transportation (DOT) for substance abuse assessments or treatment.  

After several years of working for non-profit agencies, I opened my private group practice where I see clients and serve in the role as clinical director for the Plainwell Counseling Center.

I deeply enjoy my work and am grateful for the opportunity to work collaboratively with clients toward real change and the successful resolution of symptoms that hinder the attainment of a high quality of life. I look forward to the possibility of working with you.
