Adults Therapists in Farmington Hills, MI

Adolescence and young adulthood are times of great change, filled with innumerable stressors—academic and athletic pressures, challenging social relationships, fighting for independence, college/employment uncertainty, etc. This mounting stress can give way to anxiety, depression, self-doubt, loneliness, eating/sleeping difficulties, and a loss of hope. My goal is to work alongside my clients, navigating these crucial periods of change, helping them to build insight and awareness, strengthen their ability to effectively manage stress, and ease the physical and emotional suffering that is impacting their satisfaction with life.

I have had the privilege of working in the mental health field for over 30 years helping those facing life's challenges including psychiatric conditions. My clinical experience includes working with children, adolescents, and adults . My formal education and training is in Clinical Psychology with a specialization in trauma and trauma-related conditions. The mental health conditions I treat include depression and anxiety disorders, stress/trauma-related disorders, LGBTQ issues, attention deficit conditions, interpersonal difficulties, and adjustment issues related to a wide variety of life circumstances, changes, and challenges.

No one knows your life better than you. But when stress, anxiety and fear overwhelm the brain and body, we can become blocked from our own best solutions. When this happens, it can negatively impact our lives and relationships and compromise our ability to cope effectively. Taking the first step toward positive change often means trusting a professional to help guide you toward solutions that resonate with your personal strengths, goals and abilities. I use humor, compassion and comprehensive clinical understanding to bring focus to how our experiences have shaped us - and what we can do to adapt, change, and thrive.
