Therapists in Canton, MI

Hello, I am so glad you stopped by! My therapy style is person centered with the belief that everyone is doing the best they can. I have experience in helping all ages with identifying and treating depression, anxiety, ADHD, OCD, bipolar disorder, and relationship conflict. I have worked with adults, children, teens, families, and couples in a Telehealth platform. It’s important to me that my clients feel comfortable in sessions while we work to challenge those negative thoughts that lead to destructive feelings and behaviors. My goal is for my clients to feel seen, understood and hopeful about their future.

The areas I specialize in include working with mood disorders, young adults, parenting support, various life transitions, and I am especially passionate about working with LGBTQIA+ individuals as a non-binary therapist (they/them), most especially with gender identity issues. I am also passionate about helping individuals going through infertility experiences, as my wife and I experienced this struggle firsthand before we had our child using IVF treatment. I love offering a compassionate approach to these sensitive subjects as individuals navigate their options and explore the complex emotions associated with infertility in therapy.

As a therapist, I am privileged to be in the role of facilitator of change. But, the actual expert and change-maker in your life is you. A person-centered approach is the pillar of my practice. I am here to empower you to make the changes you want to see. I know anyone who walks into my office or steps onto my screen has already walked through one of the most difficult steps in therapy - the beginning. I admire you taking this step and thank you for allowing me along for the journey. I am confident working together we can figure anything out.

I am focused on helping you live your best life, mentally, physically, spiritually, and culturally, to have a deeper connection with those around you, and finally begin the process of self-acceptance & healing. Why continue down the same path, only to yield the same results? Allow yourself the opportunity to heal, love, and grow.

I believe in a holistic approach to therapy. We will take into consideration how you are feeling, emotionally and physically. Positive psychology, CBT , DBT and mindfulness are a few of the approaches I use to manage disabling thoughts and enhance positive emotions in people with depression, anxiety disorders as well as addictions. Sometimes you may have no idea why you feel the way you do. That is ok. I hope to offer you the place to explore your needs, your wants, your fears. Therapy can be scary to start. I promise you it will open your eyes to new possibilities and hope. I will help guide you towards the contentment you seek.

I've been in practice for over 10 years and have seen patients from three-ninety years old. Many transitions occur throughout the lifespan and during these transitions; some can be more difficult than expected and need examining for better understanding and practices. To do this I facilitate an environment free of judgement and help my patients understand their feelings and thoughts, as well as how to improve their behaviors to better their lives and futures. I enjoy my work and very much and strive to help people find their own voice, achieve their greatest accomplishments and successes in life, love, and work.

I believe that helpful therapy unfolds in an environment that is comfortable, empowering, safe, and one that allows for full expression. It is also important that the person I am working with can sense that I am listening attentively as they share the various layers of their experience. Individuals often seek help because they are unsettled or upset by what they are feeling. I aim to help clients "hold" their current experience without becoming overwhelmed, and eventually, to use those feelings as valuable information as we move through the therapeutic process.

I specialize in the treatment of eating disorders, including Anorexia, Bulimia and ARFID.

I believe that effective therapy is dependent on a good fit between patient and clinician and I strive to create a safe environment for clients to discuss thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment. I have been trained in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), psycho-dynamic therapy, solution-focused, and family therapy. I received my Master's in Social Work from Eastern Michigan University with a focus on Children and Families and I am a fully licensed Master's Level Social Worker in the state of Michigan for both clinical and macro practice.

I have over 20 years of experience successfully assisting my clients in overcoming internal and external stressors and dysfunction that prevent their overall well-being. These stressors can be situational or life-long struggles, and experienced in interpersonal relationships, in work settings, as mood and or/anxiety disorders, or manifested in issues of self-esteem and self-confidence.
