Therapists in Ferndale, MI

Inner work takes time and intention—as does the work we put in to create and maintain healthy relationships. I believe the world we live in and the oppressive systems we are subjected to make this an even deeper challenge. The therapeutic space I offer will allow you to show up exactly as you are. You can expect an approach to therapy which we construct together, imbued with a person-centered, trauma-informed framework. Whether you’re looking for personal insight, change-work, or a place to repair relationships, perhaps even your relationship to yourself, I'm here to help.

Hello! I am a licensed psychologist currently working in general practice, and I am experienced in helping adolescents and adults with adjustment problems, grief work, mood disorders, anxiety disorders, OCD, PTSD, and other psychological problems in individual therapy. I feel creating a supportive, judgment-free environment is key in developing a positive therapeutic relationship and have experience with multiple therapeutic techniques, including the cognitive behavioral, psychodynamic, and humanistic perspectives. I believe therapy works best when we can work collaboratively to tailor the treatment to best fit your needs.

I understand that starting therapy can be a difficult decision to make. We all desire to be understood and to connect with one another, something that I deeply believe that therapy can provide. I work primarily with women who have experienced sexual abuse and help them process their trauma through talk therapy. I have been a therapist for over 13 years and have helped countless clients with difficulties ranging from sexual trauma and PTSD to general anxiety and depression.

Sometimes you may become overwhelmed due to changes in routine or major events such as a new school, grades, finances, becoming a new parent, losing a loved one, divorce, or conflict in relationships. These life events may lead to anxiety, low self esteem, lack of motivation, and loss of direction. These struggles appear in different ways for each person and lasts for varying amounts of time. However, we can not always recover on our own due to depression, anxiety, past trauma, or other underlying influence. I am a therapist (LPC), here to help you on your journey to healing and becoming your best self.

Life can be messy! During these times, it can be difficult to balance all of the challenges and expectations that we face on a day-to-day basis. Therapy can be a great space to sort out the messy stuff, explore coping strategies for complex emotions and process difficult events or transitions. Most importantly, therapy is a great space to get to know yourself on a deeper level and create more opportunities for acceptance, change and growth. I aim to create a relaxed, safe and judgment free space for my clients to express themselves and foster a trusting therapeutic relationship.

Everyone has times in their lives when stress seems overwhelming, when ways that we use to cope just aren't working anymore, or are even making the situation worse. Even more so coming out of a pandemic. You might be sad, anxious, hurting yourself or isolating and want to change.

I provide an accepting, non-judgmental, confidential environment, and a safe place to explore your thoughts and feelings with a caring, compassionate listener.

Many of us seek out therapy for different reasons; to gain better insight about ourselves and others, to be able to see the bigger picture more clearly, or to meet specific goals.

You haven't felt relaxed or content in a long time because you keep replaying scenes from the past and find it hard to let go. You often feel drained and disconnected in your relationships. You find yourself worrying about the future, about finding meaning, and about the responsibility of defining your life. You feel as though you are simply going through the motions and find it hard to be motivated or engaged at work or home. You know you want more out of life but you feel stuck.

Navigating struggles with depression or anxiety can make life difficult. Our inner worlds are often shaped by events from past experiences, conflicts, or trauma. Processing distressing feelings or events can help a person deal with them in a more helpful way. One's history often has an impact on their current emotional life. Working through painful topics from past and present points in life can help one to develop resilience.
