Therapists in Canton, MI

While therapy is far more openly accepted than before, it can often still feel intimidating as many people are still not sure what to expect. From my view- therapy is really going to be what each individual person wants to make of it. My goal in is to help determine what is most important to you and work together to create a realistic plan to help you achieve the changes you want to see.

Throughout life, it is possible to find ourselves on a journey we believe is impossible to complete. Through therapy, we learn that no journey is impossible; however sometimes we must detour...delay...revisit...or speed up! This analogy speaks to the true essence of therapy, helping others to navigate obstacles that present themselves along their journey. I will partner with you to find your path to a healthy existence despite any detours you encounter.

In a confidential, safe, and private setting, we focus on your present predicaments and stress, your family history, and the course of your problems to map effective treatments. Psychological therapy helps you begin to acknowledge and understand the sources of your emotional distress, enhance your coping strategies, and recognize the breadth of your strengths. With increased knowledge and emotional learning, you not only put your life into a more coherent perspective, but you also learn to face life-predicaments with acceptance, flexibility, courage, tolerance, and the ability to take responsibility for your actions. I refer to physician colleagues for pharmacotherapy to treat biological vulnerabilities such as major depression, bipolar disorder, OCD, and ADHD. Pharmacotherapy is sometimes an important component of effective psychological therapy.

I am a limited licensed psychologist specializing in the treatment of depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, relationship issues, grief/loss, anger management and family conflicts. I strive to create a therapy environment that is supportive and validating while encouraging my clients to make needed changes and move toward their personal goals. I utilize cognitive behavioral and psycho-dynamic modalities in a client centered approach to facilitate change. I help people gain insight about their issues and facilitate behavioral, cognitive and emotional change.

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.

Change is the only constant in life: we live in a complex, busy, and changing world that presents a variety of challenges, as well as opportunities, in our everyday lives. Our biological and psychological makeup, as well as our spiritual, cultural, social, and family backgrounds and support systems, have a lot to do with the ways we deal with these challenges.

Let's rediscover your happiness-or redefine it. Evolve stale relationships; generate more meaningful experiences; introduce more peace and unity. Wherever you are struggling, I help you create a new lense through which you will gain insight into your thought patterns and behaviors and ultimately feel better. I earned my Masters degree in both clinical/community and school counseling, and a Masters degree in secondary education. I taught high school for 11 years, incorporating much adolescent, group, and family counseling during that time. I have expanded to counseling individuals and couples of all ages, including families.

I am a licensed Clinical Psychologist with over 20 years of experience providing psychotherapy and psychological testing services to adults, adolescents, children, and couples.

I also perform return to work and custody evaluations

I have experience working with anxiety, depression, trauma, loss, anger, complicated relationships and complicated situations. Has your life been influenced by behaviors, family, friends, home, school, society and/or work? Life has many layers. It’s complicated and challenging.

I am here to empower you to make the changes you want to see.

I believe the best and most important work we can do in life, is the work we do everyday at making ourselves better. Therapy can be a great place to learn how to break habits, work through difficult situations that life presents, receive support, and grow into a new version of yourself.

I work with all types of circumstances, whether they be relational issues, trauma, systemic difficulties or anything else. I am here for it. You've probably read a lot of profiles and seen similar ideas such as moving from surviving to thriving in your life. I don't shy away from deep topics, horrific trauma, unimaginable pain. If you are looking for an authentic therapist who is deeply empathic and can be "real" at the same time, then let's work together.

Counseling is a process in which a counselor and client work together in a professional relationship to resolve concerns or issues that the client is experiencing and chooses to bring to sessions. It is my belief that the therapeutic relationship is purely client driven as you (the client) are the expert in your life. My theoretical orientation is diverse, I blend "Reality, Adlerian, Cognitive-Behavior, Gestalt and Client-Centered" therapy approaches to help clients maximize their self-awareness. I work closely with clients to assist them in increasing their positive thoughts/images in effort to promote efficiency in their overall thinking, coping and behavioral patterns.

Experiencing childhood adversity or trauma at any age can also leave us on unstable ground

I am most passionate about supporting women and families through the various seasons of life, specifically pregnancy, postpartum, and the transition to motherhood, as well as parenting young children and adjusting to other relationship, career, or general life changes. I desire to support women and families to unpack what is holding them back from feeling happy, successful, and confident. By using a relationship-based approach, we can address issues such as anxiety, depression, postpartum adjustments, grief and loss, parent-child dynamics, and children’s behavioral concerns.
