Nora received her BA in Human Development and Social Relations from Earlham College in 2009 and then her MSW from University of Michigan in 2010.

Nora worked at Michigan Medicine for close to 15 years working primarily with medically complex children and their families navigating care.  Her clinical work expanded to include MSW Intern teaching as well as LLMSW Supervision. She finished her time at Michigan Medicine as the Pediatric Specialty MSW Team Manager. These opportunities allowed her to see all aspects of direct care, the needs in larger health care systems of all involved.  It was these unmet needs that inspired Nora to use her creativity and move into other fields of practice.

Nora moved into private practice therapy work in January 2023 and has been navigating how to support patients as well as those professionals within the field ever since. 

Outside of work Nora is a parent to an elementary aged daughter and three wild dogs. She enjoys expanding her creativity with cooking, artwork, and indoor plant gardening (more like plant hospice but she tries!).

Nora's primary service is individual therapy to anyone seeking support or change. 

Children: She has experience working with children 5 and up who are navigating anxiety, emotional regulation, and confidence.  For youth ages 5-12ish parents are present for part or most of session.  This allows everyone to get support and tools to manage all as a team.

Teens: Nora works with teens who are navigating anxiety, depression, self harm, ADHD, avoidance school issues, and beyond.  Teen sessions often are focused on the youth alone with a 5-10 minute check in time with parents.

Adults - Nora has experience working with adults but has specialized in supporting those are navigating life with different experiences such as neurodivergence or disabilities.

Parents: Nora is experienced working with youth and their needs but there is also a clear difference in stress as a parent. If your child gets therapy at Creative Blooms, then you can be looped into care in an appropriate manner.  If your child receives care elsewhere and you are seeking support related to parenthood you can see Nora for individual therapy.

Health Care Professionals:  Nora has spent her career working for larger health care systems and is acutely aware of the stress caused by this type of work. Nora offers burnout recovery and prevention for those experiencing stress related to working in the healthcare field. 

There are two groups that are a work in progress.  

Parent Group - this is a virtual meeting for parents of children with chronic illness who are balancing care, parenting, and far too much.

Living with Chronic Illness Adult Group- this is a virtual group of peers for adults who are living with the challenges of surviving and trying to thrive. 

The early years of therapy practice are a hearty learning experience that requires additional support and guidance!  It is legally required in Michigan to have 4 hours monthly of supervision from an LMSW in order to obtain licensure.  Newer clinicians can also benefit from briefer consultation on a specific learning goals.  Nora is able to offer both (on a sliding scale based on learners needs). 

Nora provides peer to peer support to other clinicians (therapists and doctors alike). With a wide variety of experience in the field as well as with collaborative learning Nora is able to offer guidance, support, and insight for those working in the field.
