I began helping people find meaning in their lives as a social worker in nonprofits serving adults with chronic health conditions and older adults facing uncertainty as they navigate through a new life stage. In 2012, I earned my master’s in social work at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor where I gained a greater understanding of the societal forces that impact our mental health. I am a licensed clinical social worker and enjoy partnering with clients to find new meaning and purpose in their lives following emotional and physical hardships.
I am currently licensed in Colorado (CSW 09927433) where I can offer in-person and telehealth visits.
