Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Therapists in Detroit, MI

We all find ourselves on a different part on the spectrum, from dis-ease to wellness, at different times during our lifetime. How do we gravitate back towards well-being? That is an answer we can explore together as I accompany you through your journey to health! I have worked with adults in all levels of care and advocated for destigmatizing the need for therapy! My career started in 2008 working with severely mentally ill and developed in a strong background in crisis intervention for suicidal and homicidal clients.

I have experience working with a range of client concerns such as Mood and Anxiety Disorders, Stress and Anger Management, Depression, Panic Attacks, Chronic Pain, Couple and Relationship Counseling as well as Career Counseling. I encourage clients to unpack and release emotional, mental, and physical discomfort and trauma with a range of clinical as well as holistic interventions. Together in the therapeutic alliance, my clients are supported to break through old patterns of thinking and reacting that impact their mental health and impede their personal and professional growth.

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.

My purpose is to help you become your best self, and to live the kind of life you want to live. Our work together will focus on helping you feel better, and improving your connection with others in the contexts of your personal life, career and intimate relationship. I work with adults and young adults who are interested in increasing self-awareness, developing mindfulness skills and reducing self-sabotaging thoughts and behaviors.

Tired of not knowing how you feel or how you should feel? How about tired of telling the world you are ok but are really crying on the inside? Are you ready for change? Well, I’m here to discuss the different ways you see yourself and even the ways you don’t. I invite you to move out of your own way into your own greatness, using mindfulness and other Cognitive Behavioral Techniques. I have an action-oriented approach using thought provoking questions stemmed from evidenced based tools and techniques to identify real solutions to your real life.

Together, we can really hone in on what it is you are wanting for yourself and finding a path forward, that best suites you. My understanding of counseling comes from holistic, somatic and trauma-informed approaches that incorporate mind, body, and soul such as Jungian, transpersonal, mindfulness , attachment, and creative expression approaches. I also have a sandtray in my office for sandplay!

If you have found that beginning therapy can be daunting and intimidating you are not alone. It takes courage to seek therapy. In my work, I view the therapeutic relationship as one of the most powerful tools throughout the therapy process. I use an integrative approach grounded in a client-centered and mindfulness framework to meet the unique needs of each individual. I work to respectfully collaborate, empower, and assist in gaining a deeper understanding of each individual, while also helping to identify solutions towards a more satisfying and fulfilling life.

At some point in our lives we all fall on hard times and face struggles that seem impossible to overcome and can leave us feeling lost. Allow me to help guide you towards the life that you want for yourself. My approach is person-centered, mindfulness -based and solution-focused, which means you lead the session and work towards goals that are meaningful to you. With 10+ yrs of experience in mental health and yoga therapy I’ll help you learn the skills you need to build and maintain your personal recovery. Therapy allows us to make a commitment not only to ourselves, but also to our loved ones. Maybe it’s time to take the first step.

I believe that people are so close to their own life’s challenges and stressors that they often miss what is right in front of them. Therapy provides an opportunity to step back and regain perspective. I know that each individual is an expert in their own lives, and at the end of the day, only they know what is best for them. Through therapy, I create a supportive and nonjudgmental space for you to speak your truth and look at things in a different way. I will point out and empower you to use your strengths to your advantage. Finally, I will sprinkle in some humor, swear words, and quote The Office because laughter is important.

I work with individuals who struggle with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, self-esteem issues, relationship issues, or just need a place to navigate their next steps in life. I strive to provide a non-judgmental safe space environment that appreciates every part of your identity and where you can feel safe to be your authentic self.

I help adolescents and adults who in some way feel broken connect with their inner wholeness.
