Therapists in West Bloomfield, MI

Are you struggling with addiction or anxiety? Call me TODAY and in just a few session I can help you find peace. I use a variety of Interventions including IFS, CBT and mindfulness to assist clients in uncovering the root of their issues and begin to heal. As a licensed therapist I have several years experience partnering with adults struggling with relationships, addictions and anxiety/depression. I offer a safe space for all people and am dedicated to serving the LGBTQ+ population.

Sometimes when it seems like things are falling apart, they really are falling into place. Hand in hand, I walk with my clients to help them discover improved coping skills and to process major life events. My style of therapy is client centered - I believe in non judgmental positive regard and processing issues together instead of the stereotypical therapist who asks "how does that make you feel?"

I offer clients a safe space to share, open up and work on growing. You're reaching out for your own self care is the first most important but most difficult step… and is to be admired. Whether you are calling for yourself or for your child, I am here for you to listen non-judgmentally and to get to the root of the issue. I work with adults, children, and teens utilizing various treatment approaches including CBT behavioral approaches, play and art therapy, DBT and others. My goal is to help others to get to the bottom of their struggles, and to challenge the negative beliefs they have.

With my clients, I build a therapeutic alliance that allows me to understand each client’s environment, challenges, and goals. The foundation for therapy is a collaborative, supportive, professional relationship with my client. Intersectional and feminist approaches are integral to my work. I am passionate about helping individuals navigate their identity and orientation.

Life is full of transitions that often require support, guidance and trusted people to help. My experience connecting with many people to meet them where they are has contributed to my success as a therapist over the years in their times of needs and celebrations.

As a therapist, I utilize a person-centered approach to help you reduce stress, manage your emotions, and identify long and short term goals. I use evidenced based approaches (CBT, DBT, solution focused) to offer helpful tools.

Morning/Afternoon Availability Open: Altering the way we think and our daily behaviors can be an overwhelming decision to make. However, being able to achieve a healthy life balance and stability can provide us with a growth potential beyond our expectations. Therapy helps us explore ways to express ourselves more efficiently as well as to acquire coping skills to aid in alleviating ongoing personal struggles. I feel it is vital to create a comfortable, open environment in allowing my clients to convey vulnerable emotions. I achieve this through recognizing an individual’s unique needs while working collaboratively with each person.

Mental health is just as important as our physical health. Taking care of both is a part of self-care and helps us to successfully manage life challenges and enjoy beautiful moments.

The one fact that my practice keeps in mind when working with clients is that you are the expert on your life.

I believe the ideal therapist is a combination of nurturing and straightforward, and this is what I strive to embody in my work. In other words, I am sensitive and compassionate as I know life can be extremely painful and challenging. At the same time, I make every effort to "keep it real" with my patients. I try to point out things about themselves that may be difficult to hear, as sometimes this is the only way we can grow. I always maintain an emotionally supportive and environment, but you can also trust that I will be honest with you about what I'm thinking.
