Therapists in Northville, MI

My ideal client is someone who understands the importance of collaboration, self-reflection and continued education in the treatment process. I enjoy working with someone who appreciates being challenged and being held accountable. Authenticity, humor, self-awareness and curiosity are all values that I bring to each session, and I have seen outstanding growth in the clients who also share these values.

My goal is to create a space where clients feel as if they can be their authentic selves without fear of judgement. I believe that the client is the expert of their own life and I am here to help navigate challenges that may arise. I would like to acknowledge that everyone endures hardships that may feel daunting to overcome. As a therapist, I am committed to the overall wellbeing of each client.

We are all struggling with the impact of COVID-19, our anxiety is high during these uncertain times. As an interactive result-focused therapist I can help you weather this storm and make sense of overwhelming mixed emotions. With over a decade clinical experience, my treatment approach provides support and practical feedback to help clients resolve current problems and long-standing patterns. My approach utilizes proven treatments including Cognitive- Behavioral therapy and Strength Based therapy. With these treatments I help my clients find solutions to a wide range of challenges including those those related to COVID-19.

After years of working with clients who expressed symptoms that were unmanageable or persistent no matter their efforts; I found the standard textbook approach for treating individuals was old and unable to create lifestyle changes so many of us searched for. I strongly believe that all patients are unique, therefore I will utilize the most integrative holistic treatment after taking into consideration the patient as a whole. I provide an open, non-judgmental environment where patients can feel safe and understood. I welcome clients of all racial and ethnic backgrounds, religions, sexual orientations, and gender identities.

Life is unpredictable and full of challenges. These challenges can sometimes leave us feeling confused, frustrated, and lost. However, you do not have to face these challenges alone. I will provide a comfortable and safe space for you to discuss and confront all your worries and stresses.

I specialize in healing and recovery from trauma. I have been in practice for 35+ years and I believe that the key purpose of therapy is to give clients the tools necessary to have the quality of the life that they want to live. I am interactive and directive but I'm also warm and extremely supportive. I help my clients set goals and develop the skills to accomplish their objectives. I believe that it's extremely important to help clients develop strategies and skills to address their past as well as current conflicts so that they can be proactive for the future stages of their lives.

Children experience many physical, emotional, and social changes throughout every phase of their development, which can lead to challenges with anxiety, depression, anger, problems in school, and strain in family or peer relationships. If you are a child or teen who feels that no one understands what you’re going through, or a parent concerned about changes in your child’s mood and/or behavior, declining grades, or risk behaviors, I am here to help!

The greatest aspect of therapy is that it helps you to grow - grow in the way you feel, grow in how you behave, grow in the way you understand yourself. The therapeutic relationship can be a vital tool for enacting the change that leads to your own growth as a human. I offer an empathetic and safe space for you to openly explore and bring to the light things that may be easier to leave in the dark. We are all unique in our experiences in this life, but the emotions left over from those experiences can be universally felt and understood. Growth and understanding are without a doubt a possibility. It only begins with you.

My blog is my calling card. Healing, positive change, and personal growth from the inside out is not for cowards. Read my blog to understand where I am coming from. Even if you believe you already know "everything" there is to understand about your specific circumstances, guess what? There is always another way to look at what you are struggling through. My job is to come up along side you and assist you in recognizing what you need to learn (and then do!)---as well as what you need to let go of (once and for all!). You will learn how to set yourself free from those chains that bind you. Live in peace, not in pieces anymore.

Hello and thank you for visiting my profile page. My passion is helping people find and reclaim their inner strengths and abilities. All too often, therapy focuses on the negatives - i.e. what is going wrong with life. I believe it is just as important to figure out what is going right, and that is why we will work on two things: 1.) Lessening you or your child's suffering, and 2.) Building up self-esteem and self-reliance in the process.

Life is predictably unpredictable. Despite this, adapting to challenges may not always feel familiar or simple. Feeling understood and accepted is a powerful aspect to dealing with change, but not always available or prevalent. My goal is to provide support and tools while navigating through a variety of struggles and challenges. I strive to provide a holistic therapeutic approach that best fits each individual I work with.

Welcome! I began my work in the addiction, mental health, and recovery fields approximately two decades ago. I strongly believe in the impact addiction and mental health concerns have on the entire family and in the recovery of family system as a whole. My passion for recovery continues to lead me to work with both those suffering from addiction and mental health concerns and their families in multiple arenas. My quest is to impart the gifts of recovery to all individuals, families, and systems who seek it!

I have a private practice working with individuals, couples and families. I also work extensively with teens and children. My primary focus is working with stress, anxiety disorders and depression; however, I also work with addictions, eating disorders, parenting issues and basic conflict resolution . I follow a cognitive/behavioral approach for anxiety and depression, as well as a psychodynamic approach in other areas. My goal is to help my clients develop a clearer understanding of their feelings, thoughts and emotions, and then begin to work to make positive, life-enhancing changes in their lives.

"Will life ever feel easy again?" You can't help but wonder, as all of those memories you try to keep in the dark sabotage you once more. You try to smile and move forward, to keep the past in the past. Unfortunately, the pain of what happened always returns. In spite of it all, your courage to move towards healing is there- you just don't know how to begin. You need someone that knows how this darkness feels to help you figure this out. Someone who can help unravel all these burdens in your heart and give you back your confidence. Because deep down you’re worth more than this. You've always been worth more than this.

How do you feel? Chances are you're visiting this site because the answer isn't what you want. Do you have feelings and emotions you are struggling to control? Do parts of the outside world frighten you? Are you self medicating so you can deal with these feelings?

I love working with individuals who are willing to challenge themselves and their previous beliefs. Someone who is willing to stay humble and admit when things don't go to plan. Each individual is so incredibly unique, that it is important to understand that therapy and healing is not a "one-size-fits-all" kind of deal. Healing takes time, has ups and downs, and is far from a linear process. My ideal client would be someone who desires to try new treatment approaches that connect their mind to their body and be committed to growth outside of the therapeutic setting.

I help adults, couples, and families to finally experience the type of connection and relationships they long for. Many of us can use support in achieving true self-awareness, self-love, and the courage to be authentic; all are required for rich relationships. Through a safe, collaborative environment, I help clients to manage depression & anxiety, process relationship dynamics, heal old wounds, shift their narratives, manage life changes, and feel present. I help couples and families improve communication, improve connection and intimacy, learn how to repair, and work through issues like infidelity, parenting, separation & loss.
