Therapists in Detroit, MI

The decision to seek therapy can be scary. If you seek help with anxiety, depression, betrayal trauma, sexual addictions, childhood trauma, MPE/NPE adults, self-esteem issues or lingering effects of neglect or abandonment I'm here to help. Over the past 12 years, I have used a brain based, client centered, whole person perspective and developed a personalized approach based on each client's unique experiences and needs. All aspects of the person are considered in my approach to therapy, including health, family of origin relationships, physical and emotional wounds experienced, internalized beliefs and core values.

I specialize in sex and internet pornography addiction. I work one-on-one with indivuals, couples, families, and those attracted to minors. My primary treatment goal is to help the sexually addicted individual overcome the addiction and find inner healing. Additionally, I work to promote healing within badly damaged intimate relationships. Initially, I aim to help clients gain immediate relief from the feelings of overwhelm and distress that brought them to counseling to begin with. Subsequently, I collaborate with clients to diagnose and heal the deeper sources and causes of their suffering and addiction.

Are you thriving or just surviving? What are the roadblocks that are keeping you from living the life you really want? Do you have past trauma, relationship difficulties, marital or family tensions, depression, or anxiety that are sapping the joy from your life? Do you feel like life is overwhelming and it is taking all your energy just to stay afloat? Are you having a hard time adjusting to change - both welcome and unwelcome? Wouldn't you like to find more joy, fulfillment, and THRIVING in your life... and less stress and barely SURVIVING? The good news is YOU CAN.

Understanding that we do not live in a bubble and that many things can affect our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors is the basis of how I approach therapy. Instead of focusing on the problem, my focus in therapy is on the strengths of a family, couple, or individual, which can lead to a solution-focused collaboration between the therapist and client(s). As a therapist, it is my responsibility to provide a safe, non-judgmental space for my clients to begin the process of change that will eventually lead them to more complete, happier lives.
