Are you struggling with balancing your emotions in relationships, at work, or in everyday activities? Are sadness, anxiety, or loneliness a result? My primary focus is centered upon embracing one's inherent strengths while eliminating toxic behaviors and thoughts. This process aids individuals in building stronger and more powerful relationships with themselves and others, as well as fosters greater life satisfaction. I have had extensive training in Relationship Issues, Couples Counseling, Toxic Relationships, Divorce, Stepfamilies, Grief Therapy, Forgiveness Therapy, Anxiety and Depression, and Coping Skills.

I have found that people tend to seek therapy when they are experiencing some kind of stressful situation in their life. You may have found that you keep repeating bad patterns or that you feel stuck in your relationships or your job and you don't know what to do to get unstuck. We all need to find someone we can feel safe sharing our deepest concerns with and we want to feel understood. Whether the work is brief, or more long-term, I am passionate about helping you to develop behavior changes that will lead to healing and eventually to you fulfilling your potential.

I am a licensed clinical therapist offering counseling services to children, adolescents, families, and individuals in Birmingham, Michigan. I also sees clients in both Michigan and New York virtually via a HIPAA compliant Teletherapy platform. I provide a safe, empathetic environment that invites open expression and exploration of thoughts and feelings so that meaningful changes are made.

Thank you for your interest in my services. I am a fully licensed clinical psychologist with over 10 years of experience in working with children, adolescents, adults, and families. I have significant experience in working with a wide variety of clients, treatment issues, and treatment styles. As a result I am able to tailor my therapeutic style to fit the specific needs of each individual or family. I am an active participant in the treatment process and view the therapeutic relationship as a 'team', where we work together to find solutions that are right for you.

I am a Master's level clinical social worker, providing one-on-therapy who has experience working with children, adolescents, and young adults. I use a client-centered focus to help each person build self-esteem and feel important. My areas of interest include individuals who are experiencing anxiety, depression, and need support in their peer relationships.

Client needs are my FIRST priority. I am a specialist in evidence-based treatments (EBT), which radically improves my client's success rates, increases effectiveness of treatment, and gets results quickly. The majority of my client's report improvements, within the first session: life-functioning (work- home-school-relationships) and report immediate reduction in symptoms. Reducing anxiety/panic, decreasing depression, developing stronger coping strategies to stress and balancing mood dysregulation are my specialty, as symptoms can result from adjustment challenges to sudden life changes: parenthood/divorce/grief/college. We collaborate on thinking traps, tracking triggers, modifying behavior, successful coping skills and strengthening resiliency.

Treating patients (adolescents, teens, and adults) suffering from symptoms of anxiety, depression, anger, aggression, mood dysregulation, trauma, behavioral difficulties, and other mental health concerns. Treatment is provided to patients and their families who are seeking improvement in their daily functioning, including work, school, relationships, and family dynamics. Patients are the experts on themselves, and should be willing and able to actively participate in the therapeutic process, which may include the exploration and practice of alternative coping skills.

You are overwhelmed right now in life. Either you have a congenital/chronic illness, high pressure job, difficult relationships, or you have lost someone in your life. Sleep is not coming easily at night, you are constantly worried about what you say, what will happen going forward, your current relationships are not how you want them to be, and you have a nagging feeling the other shoe is going to drop when you think about the impact on your health now or in the future. Life is feeling like a hamster wheel right now, you have to keep the wheel going, and cannot get off it without feeling like everything will crash down on you.

You are not alone when having difficulty dealing with the storms of life. Many of us experience challenges, yet oftentimes it is difficult to find a safe person and space to express these concerns without being judged. Life changes constantly and sometimes every day events leave you feeling overwhelmed, drained and unmotivated. Each day can be extremely difficult for you. Constant demands of family, work and relationships are stressful, and you know it’s time to make some changes. Losses of all kinds whether the loss of a loved one, job, or relationship, can trigger a mirage of emotions or feelings of lack of control.

You do not have to be alone with troubling thoughts or feelings that keep you from being your best. I am experienced, easy to talk with, and willing to help you find solutions and regain your personal resilience. In a non-judgmental, safe space we can work together to unpack the experiences that are getting in the way of your feeling grounded and secure. Focusing on your strengths, we will reflect on the past and present, while keeping an eye to your future self.

I’m a clinical mental health counselor that believes in a compassionate, holistic, person-centered approach for treating children, adolescents, and adults. Through a collaborative effort that focuses on client strengths, I work with individuals to gain self-awareness and insight, while also uncovering maladaptive thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that are not serving them. I provide an empathetic, non-judgmental relationship and I use evidence-based counseling techniques that draw from various schools of thought including: cognitive behavioral therapy, sports/performance therapy, multicultural philosophy, and existential therapy.

I have been specializing in treating anxiety disorders and OCD for over 20 years in adults and adolescents with individual and/or family/couple sessions. Because I specialize in anxiety disorders, clients frequently report much better progress than they have experienced with prior therapists who didn't specialize in anxiety but treated anxiety in a generalized manner along with many other issues. I specialize in use of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Insight Therapy and Exposure/Response Prevention (ERP). I have an audio program "Anxiety to Serenity" available on my website - either 4 CD's or as a download.

Listening to what you say, and to what you don't say is very important to me. I am often told that talking to me was the very first time that a client had their feelings accepted. Helping others honor the unique perspective with which they see the world is the best way to enable a person to trust their feelings, to value their experiences, and to lead a richer life. I do believe that leopards can change their spots! I consult with psychotherapy and life-coaching clients in my office and also by phone across the country.

As a co-creator of wellness, my practice endorses the art of personalized healing. My compassionate, creative, client-centered focus draws from the wisdom of several established disciplines to facilitate optimal health through the application of techniques derived from psychological, counseling, mindfulness, multicultural philosophy, spiritual counseling and the expressive arts. My practice builds upon an individual's strengths, enhances expression and increases personal insight and well-being. Ultimately, my goal is to facilitate a safe, trusting and peaceful space in which my clients can heal, grow and ultimately thrive.

Many people struggle with feelings of insecurity, fears and doubts in their lives. They begin to notice the same patterns over and over again that don't seem to be working in terms of adding happiness and security to their everyday life. As a psychotherapist with 15 years of experience, I engage with each client with empathy, compassion, knowledge and understanding. If you experience difficulty coping and feel overwhelmed - I can help offer a balanced perspective.

Psychotherapy can help people work through hardships, relieve distress, and improve their quality of life. Together we will address your concerns and problems while also working toward increased self-awareness and developing your natural areas of strength.

Do you feel overwhelmed and disempowered by your thoughts? Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, and grief? You may be searching for the skills and strategies to reduce symptoms to feel better and regain control over your life. Grounded in evidence-based practices, my goal is to meet clients where they are and guide them with the tools to bring healing. In sessions, I use both a strength-based perspective and a social justice lens to help you make sense of your experience.
