Attachment-based Therapists in Detroit, MI

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. In our work together you will begin to know your self. Deep within each of us is the longing for happiness. Happiness does not depend on outer circumstances or how other people behave, it’s created with our innermost feelings and sense of well-being. 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.

Are you having trouble connecting sexually and struggle with intimacy or sexual health? Are you worried your relationship cant handle more infidelity and conflict?

Sometimes our bodies don’t do exactly what we want them to and our sexual expectations and communication skills need to change too. I specialize in marriage counseling and sex therapy. I am LGBTQ+ affirming, polyamory cnm affirming, kink affirming.Individual and couples therapy across Michigan. Email to Schedule!

The privilege of a lifetime is being who you are -Joseph Campbell. Together, we can really hone in on what it is you are wanting for yourself and finding a path forward, that best suites you. Often, the work is getting back in touch with your Self in a deeper way—like re-calibrating your inner compass. My understanding of counseling comes from holistic, somatic and trauma-informed approaches that incorporate mind, body, and soul such as Somatic Experiencing, Jungian, transpersonal, mindfulness, attachment, and creative expression. I have both a in person and virtual sandtray!

As a licensed clinician I'm committed to building therapeutic relationships where people feel seen, challenged and supported. Therapy provides an opportunity to investigate parts of yourself, heal and feel present in new ways. I specialize in working with people impacted by chronic stress, attachment wounding, difficult childhood experiences, relationship challenges, generational and historical trauma, and more. I am also an Infant Mental Health Specialist. I have worked with children 0-6 and their caregivers since 2015. I am uniquely able to support pregnancy and those in the lives of babies, toddlers and young children.

I provide a welcoming, safe and non-judgmental space. I work with people who seek support for anxiety, depression, grief, loss, trauma, relationships, family issues, social challenges, identity, substance use, life balance, and life transitions/stressors. I support people with areas such as work, school, productivity, immigration, illness and self-care. I have experience working with, and welcome, people of different sexual orientations, gender identities, race, spirituality, and cultural backgrounds. I also have experience working with social workers and therapists.

I am a licensed clinical social worker with an endorsement from the Michigan Association for Infant Mental Health as an Infant Family Specialist. I have obtained my graduate degree in clinical social work from the University of Michigan. My desire is to optimize the emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being of women. Integrating compassion, psychotherapy, and evidenced-based interventions, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), it is my endeavor to offer a supportive holding environment for healing.

My clients come to therapy because they are looking for support in facing life transitions; they may be dealing with a health diagnosis, new parenting stage, or shifting family dynamics. Often, when life is difficult or not going the way we had planned, we fight against what IS with what we think it should be. My clients want to find joy and purpose in the life they have and are looking for a safe place to explore their life stories to find strength and light. I also work with interracial families on racial identity development and with white folks wanting to do antiracist work while exploring what it means to be white.

I enjoy working with individuals who may be experiencing or recovering from trauma, struggling with symptoms of anxiety and depression, exploring the development of their identity, or working to improve romantic, familial and parent-child relationships. I have extensive experience in problems of codependency, suicide and self-harm, dissociative disorders, personality disorders, and PTSD. I am passionate about social justice and use frameworks of intersectional feminism, anti-racism and body liberation to help individuals understand how oppression and toxic systems can affect mental health. I am LGBTQ allied.

I believe that therapy is an ongoing conversation spread out over a period of time where I, as your therapist, get to know you and try to understand what is creating difficulty in your life. I believe that my job is to help create a nonjudgmental and comforting relationship where we can begin to understand you - together. I genuinely care about those I work with, and I believe this curious and compassionate approach is ultimately what makes therapy worthwhile. By understanding you and your challenges, we can help you take steps to truly improve your life.

"Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get." Life happens everyday. Life can be overwhelming and at those moments choosing to get support from a professional is a great plan. Family, marriage, relationships, health, and work are all areas in which life happens. So whether you are currently experiencing or still struggling with stress, depression, trauma, relationship issues, divorce, palliative care (curable/chronic illness/pain/life-threatening), or are just in need of some self care, I am here to work with you towards creating balance in your life.

My main goal in working with clients & couples is to provide a judgment free, validating, affirming, and emotionally safe space to talk through struggles, thoughts and feelings. I focus on establishing rapport, emphasizing the strengths of the client(s), and assisting the client(s) in creating the changes they want to make for themselves and/or their relationship to each other. I want to empower people to take responsibility for their happiness and support them in living life as true to themselves as possible. I want to help couples grow closer and feel more connected with each other grounded in love and romance.

Do you identify as highly-sensitive (maybe also intense, neurodivergent, gifted)? Deep feeler + thinker? Recovering perfectionist ...people-pleaser ...performer? Worry you are both too much + not enough? Experience a difficult childhood? Struggle in relationship to self + others over the years? Mask your mental health problems? Still stuck & ...confused ...frustrated ...exhausted? Together, we will explore your old trauma + stress patterns and co-create new ways forward. My main philosophy is: You are already whole & know what you need to heal (yes, even right now, as you're reading this). Most of us need some help to do so.

Are you ready to heal and restore joy, hope, and peace in your life? As a fully license clinical social worker, I provide therapy to individuals, couples, seniors, and families.

I am a professional counselor with over 20 years of experience working with people from all ages and backgrounds. My goal is to support you with personal growth, self-empowerment and positive life changes. I offer telehealth and in-person sessions. I currently have a waiting list for new clients.

I provide psychodynamic psychotherapy for adults, College students and adolescents. This approach allows you to express internal thoughts and feelings and worries you have, and it can begin to help you understand them in a deeper way. Many people suffer from negative thinking and get stuck in that state of mind, thinking those feelings are their reality. It is only a partial state of mind, it holds us back from being more productive and enjoying life.

Maybe you're having trouble focusing or experiencing feelings of depression, shame, guilt anxiety, and/or a shift in your mood or behavior. No matter what the rollercoaster's bumps may look like in this season of your life, we'll work on those tracks and make the tweaks needed for a smoother ride. :)

We are all complex individuals, with myriad thoughts, feelings and behaviors that arise from our everyday experiences. The question remains--what will you explore and who will you ask to join you?

Additionally, I have experience working in the areas of spiritual growth and development, Veterans' reintegration into civilian life, fertility issues and women's post-partum mental health.
