Female Therapists in Birmingham, MI

I offer insight-oriented psychotherapy to women struggling to navigate through complicated, painful, developmental life transitions such as pregnancy, the postpartum period, new marriage, divorce, child rearing, empty-nesting, menopause, etc. Under these conditions of exceptional stress, past experiences and feelings often automatically, strongly influence current emotions and decisions. Sometimes these coping strategies work well, but sometimes they may actually be counter-productive. Having self-awareness of connections between past and present from therapy can helpful in making healthier, more adaptive choices. In this way, it can actually turn some of the hardest times in life into opportunities for growth.

Have you hit a point in your life where you are so exhausted and broken that you don't know what else to do but reach for help? You are not alone and often the hardest part is taking the first step to find support. My speciality is walking alongside women who struggle with a loss of identity, feelings of alienation, and a general lack of self love. Whether you struggle with postpartum depression/anxiety, have experienced trauma or extreme loss, or need a place to find clarity in your relationships, parenting, body image, career etc.; I would love to help you find your light once again.

You have been sitting with your thoughts and seem to recycle your memories. You are excellent at suppressing your hurt and stay busy with work and life as a distraction. You no longer connect with others the way you used to and keep friends and family at a distance. The Pandemic may have increased your anxiety and depression and you are uncertain where to begin. Your worry and fear come out as: anger, sadness and controlling behaviors, due to questioning your worth and self esteem. Will I ever feel truly happy? Will I feel truly loved? Will I find my life path and the career that makes my soul soar? Will I learn to forgive?

I believe therapy is about working together as a team and using our conversations to help you achieve clarity, to develop and strengthen your coping skills, and to help you move forward in a positive direction with life. I am results-oriented, and it would be my privilege and pleasure to help you work through whatever is keeping you from a truly happy and productive life.
