Therapists in Clinton Township, MI

Have you noticed yourself feeling stuck or disconnected? Have trouble navigating life’s challenging moments and realizing you haven’t prioritized your needs? Curiosity to explore thoughts or feelings you have been reluctant to express? Well, you are not alone, and I would like to assist you with exploring these feelings and life’s challenges.

I began my practice in 1984 as a Social Worker. I returned to school and earned a Ph.D in Psychology. I specialize in working with adults of all ages, children, adolescence, couples and families. I employ a variety of techniques such as mindfulness, insight oriented inquiry, Yoga and traditional talk therapies. I do believe that we can change our lives if we change our thinking. At times we come to a place when our thoughts become unbearable and feel overwhelmed and confused. When we are open to acknowledging our suffering we then become willing to explore our pain.

Working with adolescents, adults, and couples is my passion and primary focus. Therapy will empower you to overcome life's challenges and replace old patterns and beliefs with a new openness to the possibilities of your potential. My therapeutic techniques provide supportive interactions that can replace one's undesirable outcomes with improvement in self-awareness, ability to cope with trauma and grief, as well as personal barriers. Life is a constant balancing act of ongoing work, school, sports or health demands that include building and maintaining relationships that at the same time may require social, personal, and/ or parenting responsibilities.

My passion is helping couples grow more connected, deeper in love than they have ever experienced! I also help individuals become more self-assured, move beyond past traumas and heart aches. I work on healing the devastation of an affair and rebuilding trust. YES It is possible! Ultimately, it's my purpose to improve your relationship or personal life! Most importantly, I don't place "band-aids" over difficulties; I strive to help you instill healthy changes that last a life time! My services are prided on non-biased, caring approaches, using scientifically proven methods, in a Down-to-Earth setting. I do see many people of color.

When you are hurting and feel alone, remember it is temporary. There is a helping hand. As a solution focused therapist, I can help you to create and achieve a new you. Sometimes we need an objective witness to help manifest our dreams. I see individuals, couples, families and groups for mental health and substance abuse treatment.

I am known for my warm and calming presence. Empathy and compassion provide clients with a sense of being heard and understood. Wisdom, and a practical approach, help clients deal effectively and confidently with the various life issues they are facing.

Sometimes we feel stuck and we're not sure where to turn or who to turn to. This is where I can help. Let me guide and support you, in a safe and non-judgmental environment, to a happier and more fulfilling life. With 26 years of experience, I have had the opportunity to assist individuals of varying ages, racial and ethnic backgrounds, sexual orientations, gender identities, and disabilities. I have presented and trained individuals on such topics as; gratitude, suicide, sexual orientation, gender identity, trauma and loss, autism and positive behavior supports. Whether an individual, couple, or family, I am here to help!

You might be suffering from depression, anxiety, grief or anger, which has negatively affected your ability to sleep, concentrate, enjoy activities with family and friends. I know that it is difficult to share these feelings. I have a passion for helping others and it is my goal to help you identify the causes of your distress and to provide a safe, non-judgemental, supportive environment and work collaboratively with you and/or family to work towards a positive outcome by equipping you with more effective communication, coping and decision-making skills.
