Therapists in Michigan

Clinically, I have worked in the Community Mental Health system and in a private practice prior to opening my own private practice. I am trained in 10+ evidenced-based practices like Cognitive Behavior therapy (CBT), Prolonged Exposure (PE) therapy, used in treating PTSD, the Nurturing Parent Program (NPP), and Brief Strategic Family Therapy (BSFT). My passion is to help others to live life as the best version of themselves, regardless of their age or presenting issues. I believe that each of us is just one person away from reaching that goal of a happy life, and if I can be that for you then it is a win for us both.

My imagination is captivated by how intricate and interconnected our stories are with the world around us, both in our intimate relationships and in the culture and society in which we live. Oftentimes these stories can weave patterns of disconnection between oneself and others, leaving us feeling stuck, and in need of care and tending. In my work, I offer a heartfelt and empathic space to explore your experience in the world. Whether it’s finding self-acceptance, moving through anxiety or depression, or navigating relationship challenges, I meet you where you’re at and help you find your inner resources for healing.

In the context of mental health, an ideal client is someone who actively engages in the therapeutic process, is open to self-reflection, and is committed to making positive changes in their life. However, It's important to note that everyone is unique, and the ideal client can vary based on the specific therapeutic approach, the individual therapist's style, and the client's specific needs and goals. Our focus is on matching clients with the right therapist to maximize the effectiveness of treatment. It ensures that clients receive personalized and tailored support that aligns with their needs and preferences.

Since you are here, you are probably at your breaking point. I see you, and I would love to help you. Whether you struggle with individual issues, family problems, or relationship situations, together we will find a way to deal with it. Your needs will always be my top priority and I will be in your corner, putting you first at all times. Counseling helped me during a time when I was very vulnerable and lost. That's when I knew, that being a counselor was exactly what I wanted to do. I want to be there to support people. Being a therapist is not my job, it's my calling.

No matter how hard you try to move forward, you feel like your taking one step back. You’re a high performer with perfectionism tendencies and always put on a smile, which helps you forget your pain. You feel you will never be fully happy and never be able to fully enjoy life how others do, because of your many losses, attributing to your decreased self esteem. You may keep friends and family at a distance, to protect yourself from yet another inevitable loss. You may have stopped exercising and taking care of yourself the way you used to, since it takes too much work and you're just surviving at the end of another long day.

If you are reading this it is evident you are willing to take the necessary steps to begin searching for possible answers and solutions to issues and challenges difficult to face alone. As a Licensed Professional Mental Health Counselor, my ultimate goal is to provide you with a safe judgement free space where you can feel heard, understood and able to express yourself openly. In addition to education and clinical experience, I have struggled with many of the same challenges as my clients. Through my own therapeutic journey, education and research I am able to provide a means of moving towards a place of HOPE.

These days, it's understandable to have difficulties with isolation, and having "nothing to do." But are those "difficulties" interfering with your ability to function? Is it preventing you from working as efficiently as you normally do? Have you had difficulty getting or staying motivated? Are you having an issue concentrating or focusing on a task? Parents, are you struggling to keep up with your child's educational performance while managing your own job? Are you having trouble in other areas of life (e.g., substance use, incarceration)? Are you angry/irritable? If you answered yes to any of the above, I can help.

People are my Passion. If you need a listening ear to process feelings, a helping hand to navigate life transitions or interpersonal relationships, or support for managing mental health conditions, I'm here to help. With over 20 years of experience and being CBT Certified, I use DBT-informed CBT techniques, combined with the healing effects of a positive, supportive relationship, to teach you coping strategies to manage stress and improve your emotional well-being. I especially enjoy working with families of children and adolescents struggling with emotional or behavioral issues.

It’s through connection that we find meaning and discover we are not alone. I love working with clients who are curious and ready for positive change. I use Internal Family Systems, EMDR and other evidence-based tools to help my clients navigate their own process of self exploration, resolve trauma, and move in the direction of healing and growth. I believe therapy is an opportunity to explore what is unsaid or undiscovered in our experience. We can learn to hold space for the parts of ourselves most in need of our love and appreciation so we can truly live our most fulfilled life.

Sometimes living hurts. Sometimes we can be so overwhelmed by circumstances and stresses that it feels difficult to function. Coming to therapy is a courageous and hopeful step. Wether it’s to deal with anxiety, depression, trauma or family conflict, I absolutely believe that together we can find ways to reduce your suffering and find a path to healing and peace.

My Clinical Psychology private practice allows for maximum individual attention and confidentiality.

I am a Clinical and Forensic Psychologist so some of my work involves cases in litigation including evaluations, testimony and expert witness services.

Is your child struggling to attend school or engage fully in their life because of symptoms of anxiety or depression? Do you feel like you are at a loss on how to help your child feel more like themselves again?

I've gained deep insights into the unique needs children, adolescents, and families have during these critical years. This knowledge allows me to partner with individuals and families to foster, nurture, and grow wellness as a family.

NOT taking new clients. As a clinician, my main goal is to provide a safe, comfortable environment that also focuses on each individual's life experiences and maintains their personal values in an effort to foster growth. I aim to work with my clients to explore their thoughts, feelings, challenges, setbacks, hopes, accomplishments, and future aspirations on a daily basis and on a grander scale. I hope to facilitate a nurturing environment in which my clients and I can work collaboratively to achieve meaningful progress and change and to help my clients to achieve their ideal self and increase their overall life satisfaction.
