Therapists in Midtown, Detroit, MI

Success in therapy has a lot to do with your willingness to participate and be honest. Therapy is not only a time and financial commitment but also a commitment to ones self where you are open to making changes. I truly enjoy helping others work towards their goals and values. I tailor therapy to meet your needs. I have experience working with youth, adolescence, adults, couples and families. I have experience helping clients with a range of struggles, including but not limited to - anxiety, depression, postpartum depression (for women and men), trauma and PTSD, eating disorders, LGBT+, grief and loss, life transitions, etc.

My style of therapy is rooted in building upon clients’ existing strengths, harnessing their inherent resilience, and supporting their natural evolution towards healing. I intend to cultivate a spirit of curiosity in sessions, inviting clients to experience a sense of safety and experiment with new strategies for managing emotions and developing healthy relationships. I work with individual clients of all ages on a broad range of concerns/objectives - trauma, grief, life transitions, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and more.

Many of us experience problems in living from time to time, as we manage our intimate relationships, careers, children, financial burdens etc…. Often times, these problems can lead to feeling poorly about oneself or even to feelings of hopelessness or helplessness. Sometimes, these problems reach a magnitude where our level of distress or ability to function is affected. At these times, it can be very helpful to talk to a professional who can provide insight, support and perspective on these difficult issues. Although your issues may seem unmanageable to you now, with the right help, these problems can be overcome.

***Attention I do not take HAP. The insurance listed is incorrect. I am not able to take HAP insurance.******** I am open to working with LGBTQIA+ clients. Since we live in a heteronormative homophobic, transphobic society I feel it is absolutely essential to fight such oppression intentionally and persistently. My hope is to offer LGBTQIA+ clients support, love, compassion and a place of healing and peace where they can find liberation and truly express the fabulous individual they are. I also have extensive experience working with rape crisis, domestic violence, and sexual assault survivors.

I believe working closely with clients to help them reach their fullest potential through developing goals, creating healthy boundaries, and empowering you for change. I use evidence based cognitive behavioral methods to help you challenge everyday thinking that keeps you locked in self destructive or unhealthy patterns, which ultimately diminish quality of life and satisfaction of relationships. It is crucial for clients to understand their issues fully so corrective action and healing may happen. I meet my clients where they are in their lives and incorporate their culture, personal talents and strengths, religion, sexual orientation, and ethnic background into the counseling process for authentic exchange.

You just want to get unstuck. You've had some type of adversity or trauma and can't figure out how to move on or feel better. Maybe you're feeling depressed, anxious, or are having problems at work or home. Whatever your symptoms, you know the root is in trauma, adversity, or stress. You feel stuck - whether its in your childhood, an abusive relationship, or the stress you can't seem to get ahead of. You just want to move past this and get on with living your life. The good news is - I can help. Not only can I help you move past it, I can help you thrive because of it.

Starting therapy can be a daunting and overwhelming process. It is my goal to make it an easy and comfortable transition. I view therapy as a team approach including the child and/or adolescent, the family, community resources, and myself. We work together to best address the presenting challenge. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over a decade of experience working with children, adolescents, and families within a variety of therapeutic settings. I received my Master of Social Work from New York University and a Post Master's Degree from Loyola University.

As I like to tell my clients, anyone at any stage of their lives can benefit from therapy. Maybe you're experiencing anxiety, depression, or life stress, etc. Therapy helps by having someone to talk with, process the stress, and formulate a treatment plan that is tailored to your individual needs. Therapy works best as a collaborative process between the therapist and client, working together to achieve a positive and supportive workplace where mental and emotional health can thrive.

My Clinical Psychology private practice allows for maximum individual attention and confidentiality. Since 1988, I have specialized in treating trauma conditions resulting from war, auto, workplace, violence and residuals of childhood abuse. Related conditions include depression, anxiety, physical pain, relationship difficulties, addictions and cognitive disorders. As a result of auto and occupational injuries, many patients/clients suffer Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and Traumatic Brain Injuries; and they can greatly benefit from my individual and group psychotherapy. I am a Clinical and Forensic Psychologist so some of my work involves cases in litigation including evaluations, testimony and expert witness services.

I consider therapy a gift where you are able to detox from family pain and drama, remove the obstacles to your own growth and happiness -- and live the life you were meant to live. My practice offers individual, couples and family sessions for all ages. My office is located on the first floor inside the beautiful Park Shelton building in Midtown Detroit and my fees are reasonable.

Life is full of challenges, and we as humans were not meant to face them alone. Whether you struggle with unresolved trauma, depression, anxiety, difficulty making meaningful connections, or simply coping with the everyday stresses of life, it can feel overwhelming to try and face it alone. The goods news? You don’t have to! I am passionate about helping people such as yourself work through painful life experiences, learn to tolerate painful emotions, develop a deep sense of connectedness, and discover a life of fulfillment they may have never thought possible. Whatever difficult journey you’re facing, let’s walk it together.
