Therapists in Northville, MI

My client has the answers they need inside of them, they just need some outside perspective. Most of my clients have experienced trauma in their lives in some form, and struggled with finding themselves or finding meaning in their life experience afterward. I enjoy navigating and exploring the full-range of human experience including issues pertaining to identity and sexuality, unearthing fears and anxieties, boundary setting, and building expression in all areas of life.

I am not a normal therapist. I am told that I am gifted at being very intuitive and perceptive so I catch on in a hurry and tend to give a lot of feedback rather than "uh huh and how do you feel about that?' .I am able to break things down into easy to understand language so clients better comprehend their personal issues and ways to heal and to better manage their lives.This is communicated with warmth,compassion,and a sense of humor.I am very active with my clients.

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 welcomes clients of all racial and ethnic backgrounds, religions, sexual orientations, and gender identities.

I’m a Temporary Limited Licensed Psychologist specializing in treating adolescents and adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). ​​Prior to obtaining my master's in Clinical Psychology, I have been in the field of applied behavior analysis (ABA) for over 3 years.
