It’s like drowning. You tread water for a long time but you’re exhausted. You sink below the surface, hold your breath for as long as you can, but you’re trapped under deep waters. The sea is filled with anger, sadness, guilt, shame, dread, even physical pain. Everything hurts. And yet sometimes, you feel absolutely nothing at all. Eternal emptiness. Numb. Isolated from the world. Stuck, disconnected, a thousand pounds crushing your body. As though someone has reached in and ripped your soul out. Depression HURTS. You need a lifeguard. Someone to help you reach the surface again. We can help! Our depression experts are here for you.

With almost 25 years of experience, I strive to create a safe, relaxed environment where you can openly be who you are and become more aligned with your truth. By gaining a better understanding of yourself and where you are today, we will work to develop an increased ability to cope with life's challenges, and help you gain a renewed sense of empowerment and commitment to your overall wellness. I believe you can do amazing work when you feel heard, connected and supported. My goal is to create a space where you can do just that and ultimately create the positive change you seek in your life.

I have 30 years experience working in the schools providing therapeutic services to youth and families. I specialize in youth struggling with anxiety, depression, behavioral challenges, academic challenges, peer relationship difficulties, children of divorce, and parent-child conflicts. I believe given the right tools, all children and families can heal and improve relationships. For clients that are interested, I have a trained therapy dog available for sessions. I believe in a strength-based approach as well as a family systems model. Therapists, families, and schools should work collaboratively for the success of the child.

I want to help you work on strengthening the most important relationship you'll ever have - your relationship with yourself. Let's work together to find a way through whatever struggles come your way. In our sessions, I'll meet you where you're at with compassion, empathy, and an unbiased and nonjudgmental point of view.

I am a holistic therapist, intuitive coach, and integrative energy healer who is passionate about helping people transform trauma, alchemize emotions, and embody their truth so they can live their most joyful, authentic, and empowered lives. Do you desire to build happiness, be your true self, and live the life you desire? My intention is to be a mirror to your own unique gifts and light so you can shine it into the world! I integrate a variety of tools and counseling techniques into my work to guide people into embodiment and fulfillment.

I enjoy working with clients of all ages - from young children thru to seniors. My areas of focus include Anxiety, ADHD, Autism, Bullying, Depression, Grief, Personality Challenges, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, and Alcohol and Drug Abuse. I received my early education in private parochial schools in India, and obtained a Masters in Child Development and Family Relationships. I taught undergraduate students in my university before moving to the U.S. where I obtained my Masters in Education. Following my desire to help others, I attended Wayne State University where I obtained my Masters in Clinical Social Work.

Welcome to my page! Have you been feeling stressed or down lately? Do you want to make changes in your life, but don't know where to start? I will help you discover the BEST version of you. My goal is to create an atmosphere for personal growth, self-discovery, without fear of judgment. I believe each person has the capacity and desire for personal growth.

Welcome! I'm so glad you've made the first step in your journey to healing by searching for a therapist. My job is to provide a safe space for you to discover, heal, and love yourself. The heart of therapy lies in the therapeutic relationship; a strong therapeutic relationship can help a client feel motivated, worthy, and accepted. I pride myself on my relatable personality, and welcome clients belonging to all gender identities, sexualities, religions, cultures, and races. I love to use humor (and pop culture references) to supplement my therapy sessions. I also like to collaborate to help my clients come up with their own goals.

Life is an ever-changing journey with so many pitfalls and struggles, it is hard to keep ahead. So many people find themselves struggling with low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, and other issues that keep us stuck in old patterns. Ideally, I am looking for people who want to make change, even if they feel resistant to the idea right now. Personally, I look to help those individuals who are at least contemplating growth, change, and coming out of the self-constructed safety box. We are not simply looking for the light, we are searching for the source within you. Simply put, people who want to be the favorite version on themselves.

My goal is to help you heal from your past trauma to help you tap into your true identity. My approach is to build a strong rapport to help create an open environment where you feel trusted, safe, and heard. My clinical interests include anxiety/ depression, relationships, sports, and spirituality. Aside from helping others heal from trauma, I also have a passion for helping athletes work past their anxiety and learn more about what their identity is outside of their sport. As a former Division 1 college athlete, I understand the stresses that today's athletes endure on and off the court or playing field.

My professional life has been consistently focused on serving those in need. Following graduation from the U of M school of social work I focused extensively in substance use therapy with both adolescents and adults. I have found there is no greater satisfaction than helping others seek peace and achieve sobriety. As a licensed therapist I also have extensive experience in working with adults and adolescents facing the challenges of coping with anxiety, depression, addiction and behavioral issues. My focus is to learn about your barriers to positive change and work together to meet your treatment goals!

Over the last 39 years I've learned that what people want most is to be heard. But, more than that, they want someone to understand the feelings behind the words, and to feel safe in that process. That's when their inner voice gets clearer. With clarity, learning new strategies or making decisions about life or relationships is easier. When you know what you're doing, you can choose to do what you really want!

If you are seeking change in your relationships, you have taken the first step. Seeking a counselor is a commitment to improving your relationships. I focus on clients' strengths by working collaboratively with individuals, couples, and families from a variety of backgrounds. My expertise is in treating relationship issues, specializing in couple's communication, life stressors, and resolving family conflicts. I address the dynamics between people to improve communication.

Do you feel like you are losing control of your life and/or emotions? Are you tired of feeling frustrated at home, school or work? Are you feeling disrespected or confused in your relationships? Do you feel sad or anxious and don't know how to keep your head above water? Let me help you. I think that everyone can benefit from having someone with them on the path to progress. You will find that in time your situation will improve, you will have the chance to restore family relationships, build self-esteem, reduce anxiety and reach other personal goals.

Have you found yourself being misunderstood and questioning your current relationships, career, and life path? Are you finding it difficult to figure out who you are, where you want to go, and what you can do differently to lead a more fulfilling and authentic life? If you or someone you know is struggling, feeling stuck, and not motivated, I get that, I have been there, and I can help. Using respect, compassion, empathy, and humor, I want to work with you and understand your situation so you can identify who you were meant to be and truly live the life you want to lead.
