Tafel Counseling, L.L.C.

About Me

As a bit of background, I attended the University of Notre Dame and received my B.A. in psychology and sociology.  I then went on to receive my formal training at the University of Michigan, where I received a Masters in Social Work. 

​

Throughout my career I have worked in various capacities, such as, community mental health therapist, individual, family and group therapist, educator and school counselor, and advocate in the criminal and family court system.  These opportunities have provided me with a broad spectrum of experience working with various clients.  However, my specialties include working with children and adolescents, as well as young adults.  I have extensive experience working with clients effected by physical and sexual abuse, domestic violence, and those that have been victims of other crimes.  I have experience dealing with issues of anxiety, ADHD, behavioral issues, depression/mood disorders, family conflict, grief and loss, obsessions and compulsions, peer relationships, self-esteem, and trauma. In my work with clients, I utilize an eclectic, integrative style of practice incorporating psychodynamic, strength-based, cognitive behavioral, narrative, play, and solution-focused strategies.

​

Finally, and perhaps, most importantly, I am passionate about helping people.  I absolutely love being a part of the process that helps someone become a healthier and happier person.

Please feel free to call or e-mail me to get a better sense of who I am and whether you would feel comfortable setting up an initial appointment with me. Thank you for your time, and I look forward to hearing from you.
