Therapists in Troy, MI

I am a bicultural psychologist who appreciates diversity and uses humanistic principles and beliefs to understand the mind and behavior, focusing on the uniqueness of each individual that is inherently good. I am passionate about helping people find or restore the condition in which they can rediscover their inherent happiness and satisfaction of life, while also leading them to personal growth by addressing their diverse experiences with caregivers or peers that may have led to emotional wounds and maladaptive behaviors.

Life can be challenging. From loss and grief to anxiety and fear to relationship difficulties to parenting challenges, life can be hard. It is normal for people to struggle. It is OK to not be OK. It is also OK to seek help. You do not have to face life's challenges alone. Counseling is more than just listening. Counseling can provide a safe, compassionate, non-judgmental environment to work through and process life's challenges. Counseling can foster and promote healing and growth. Well-being is a journey, not a destination. Take control of your mental health and start your well-being journey. Heal. Grow. Transform.

My philosophy is evidence-based and person-centered. Each person's story is dynamic and one-of-a-kind; it only makes sense that your healing journey follows suit. In my work, I integrate elements of somatic experiencing, mindfulness, Acceptance and Commitment therapy (ACT), eco-psychology, and parts work (IFS) to facilitate clients’ inner wisdom and healing. I enjoying working with individuals and couples who are seeking to deepen their relationship with Self. I specialize in psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy, anxiety, depression, trauma, neurodiversity, attachment-based work, and sexual therapy + sexual education. ​

"Mental health isn't a thing. Talking about feelings and experiences isn't going to help. Things will get better by just putting my head down and powering through. I'm strong, self-reliant, and I don't need any help. I'll be fine just the way I am." These are all valid thoughts and feelings for an individual to have and many people believe these statements are true. Stereotypically, men especially, fall into these thought patterns. The numbers reflect this, approximately 30% vs 70% of those seeking counseling are men vs women. We are taught men don't have feelings and if they do they sure as hell don't talk to anybody about them.

Do you feel overwhelmed? Are you having a difficult time coping? Life can be hard and the traumatic events (divorce, job loss, the death of a loved one, abuse) that take place in our lives can affect us in ways that sometimes we are not even aware. Therapy is a wonderful way to explore those hidden parts of our lives that we rarely talk about or are hesitant to share. As your therapist, I provide a client centered environment that is safe, empathetic, and non-judgmental. My goal is to provide support for you and an individualized plan that is unique to your situation.

Your mind races with intrusive thoughts that cause you to worry about everything, or you can't forget about that horrible event that happened to you in your past. Or maybe you lost an important person in your life or experienced a change that took away that feeling of life being normal. You try to move on with life, but you're angry, sad, confused, or feel helpless. Believe me, I’ve been there and done that. And if any of this resonates with you, keep reading or take a look at my website, www.hillside-counseling.com, to find out more about me and what I'm all about.

Hormonal changes make life feel unmanageable at times.

There are times in our lives when we all need special support. It may be due to a crisis--a major loss, a critical incident, a communication breakdown. Or, it may be more an experience in our everyday life--too much stress, a loss of focus or direction, a sense of being unfulfilled. No matter if the cause is extraordinary or ordinary, the result is that we sense that we have tapped out our own resources. It is time to reach out and find someone who has the insight and experience to offer guidance and support.
