Trauma and PTSD Therapists in Huntington Woods, MI

I have been in practice as a psychologist for many years and have helped adults presenting with different types of symptoms, issues and/or concerns. I treated individuals presenting with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, depression, anxiety, adjustment and relationship difficulties, to name a few. I taught psychology students in doctoral level programs about helping individuals traumatized by violence and/or by other traumatic events. I also taught students how to help individuals dealing with stress, anxiety and/or depression related to medical conditions.

In my clinical practice, I seek to provide a safe and brave space for wellness inclusive of individual culture, spirituality and identity. I specialize in work with those impacted by complex trauma, depression, suicide, anxiety, sexual assault, sexual abuse, life-transitions, caregiver fatigue, education/work/life balance, substance use, and interpersonal relationship challenges. I offer a unique understanding and appreciation for those lives inclusive of work as a musician, performer, writer, and/or visual artist.

I love working with clients who want to improve their lives, relationships, coping skills, health, and self-confidence, and need some guidance and support to make new decisions or gain new insights. Whether you are dealing with a significant challenge in your life, or you have issues from the past that keep holding you back, I can help. As your therapist, my goal is to assist and support you in life transitions, and in learning healthy coping skills and healthy communication skills so you can begin to feel empowered, hopeful and emotionally healthy.

We all face difficult times in life but when it becomes harder to face life's challenges, depression or anxiety may be a factor. I view therapy as not only an opportunity to learn techniques to manage and cope with symptoms of depression and anxiety, but also as a journey of self exploration, awareness/understanding, and growth. While we can't change the past, we CAN heal contributing factors to depression/anxiety, such as family/relationship problems, trauma/abuse, substance abuse, codependency, and grief. My style is empathetic and supportive, providing a non-judgmental atmosphere for personal growth and change.

Are you barely making it through each day? Maybe it's because you are filled with self-doubt, working too hard to please others. Or perhaps anxious and ruminating thoughts make it hard to sleep. Anxiety, depression, and trauma affect your body and mind, which can make normal, day-to-day activities difficult. I can support you in untangling the parts of yourself that are tripping you up. The possibility of an easier path exists for you. My clients find relief in being genuinely understood, followed by improved self-worth and increased hopefulness.

My career has been fueled by a passion for helping people grow and thrive through the challenges they face. I specialize in treating Depression, Anxiety, Trauma, and Adjustment Disorders.

I work with adult individuals, couples and relational units- centering growing your understanding of your own thoughts, emotions & feelings as a vehicle for forming more strong and peaceful connections with yourself and others. I love working with people who have powerful (sometimes scary!) body/mind connections, artists, LGBTQ+ people, therapy first-timers and people practicing polyamory/ENM. Finding a good fit between therapist and client is so important- I am happy to meet with you and see if we click.

As humans, we are all in pursuit of one immeasurable goal: happiness. Many of us are faced with struggles which get in the way of living our best lives. Often times, the path towards our elusive goal can feel lonely and discouraging. I am here to go on this journey with you. Let’s learn to achieve happiness and create a life worth living despite our struggles.

For many people depression and anxiety, as well as other mental health problems can be difficult to treat successfully due to unresolved 'developmental trauma', or trauma related to the attachment type you had to your parent(s) / caregiver(s). I utilize psychodynamic psychotherapy and attachment theory which mainly deal with early connections, good or bad, with primary caretakers. I am also trained in many new treatments based on the latest understanding of brain science, that are effective in treating unresolved developmental trauma, depression, anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder.

My goal as your therapist is to provide a safe, affirming space where we can work collaboratively to identify current areas in which you are struggling, decrease your negative symptoms, and improve your overall quality of life. Using your individual strengths, needs, and preferences, we will formulate a personalized plan for your therapy experience. I have worked with many adolescents and adults struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma recovery, and challenges specific to members of the LGBTQIA+ community.

As a child of immigrants, I understand the duality of living in a culture that is so very different from one’s own. These experiences help to shape my work with my clients, and I am able to provide various different lenses from which to consider common problems. Whether you are struggling with depression, anxiety, PTSD, familial problems, phase of life problems, or are looking to gain more insight into who you are, therapy can prove to be a useful tool to move towards healing.

I believe it is our nature to heal and as individuals facing adversity, we often need support from others. My goal in therapy is to partner with clients to foster a relationship based on trust and mutual respect that acts as a container for healing, resilience, and growth. It is my passion to empower others to better understand themselves and the world around them so they can show up more fully in their lives. We’ll do this together by exploring challenges and strengths, uncovering blind spots, and developing new strategies for leading a happier and healthier life.

I believe that empathy is the foundation of a healthy therapeutic relationship. I support my clients by meeting them where they are, and helping them discover new ways to process their emotions and overcome obstacles. My priority is to provide access to therapy for Black and Indigenous People of Color. I have also served incarcerated/system impacted communities, veterans, teens, adults, children with autism and their families.
