Adults Therapists in Bloomfield Hills, MI

I have been helping adults and teenagers since 2002 realize the immense satisfaction that comes with finding the answers they need from within. Utilizing a balance of cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness clients develop a deeper sense of daily awareness that leads to the change they are searching for.

My passion is helping people function to the best of their ability and reach their goals. I have been providing therapy for people with mental health and substance use problems since 1988.

I also provide therapy for clients who participate in medically assisted treatment for substance use problems.

I love to work with people of all ages, but I have a passion for working with children and young adults . While we are not born with the emotional skills and knowledge needed to navigate life and form lasting relationships, they are crucial to our happiness. Whether learning basic coping skills or exploring more complex mental health issues, my clients all share a common goal: improving their day-to-day lives.

I have the privilege of participating in people's journey through life as a mental health therapist. This responsibility is taken with utmost importance and genuine care. I am experienced in treating individuals, families, and couples. The ultimate goal is to help them develop the life they seek. This is accomplished by building a supportive and nonjudgmental environment.

Life throws us curve balls that seems hard to recover, but when you have someone and somewhere to support and guide you through, those curve balls turn into steps toward healing, a new journey and thus, a new outcome.

Your counseling experience will fit your needs, whether this means meeting you where you are in life, making services affordable or receiving counseling services through video and telephone sessions.

It's hard to face all of life's challenges alone. Maybe you feel like there is no one you can talk to, or no one who would understand what you are going through.

Vulnerability and shame is often at the core of most mental health issues. Without treatment, these core issues can frequently manifest into anxiety, depression, and addictive or self destructive behaviors. When our sense of self is fragile and the story we've created about who we are is distorted, it can become extremely difficult to feel fulfilled, connected, or joyful. My goal as a therapist is to help you feel safe and comfortable so you can explore and evolve into living and being the best version of YourSelf.
