Psychology from the Michigan School of Psychology.
I’m a licensed therapist of 10+ yrs with a passion for helping the individuals I work with heal, grow & thrive as their authentic selves. I specialize in women’s issues, PTSD, complex trauma, childhood & generational trauma, codependency issues, addiction, self-esteem issues & anxiety disorders. I have a holistic & eclectic approach, using an array of evidenced-based techniques to help you meet your goals. I deeply value the process of therapy, both personally & professionally. “Mental health issues,” as we call them, are really just “life issues” – they define what it means to be human.

Hi! I am a fully licensed professional counselor. I am also a woman, a mother, a partner and a person of color.

As a millennial myself, I understand issues specific to what adolescents and young adults are going through. I also love to help people gain an understanding of their mental health issues ; as psychoeducation and proper tools are very important in the therapeutic process.

Over the past ten years my therapy work has focused on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and
Humanistic
approaches.
Life is rarely easy. At times, things start to feel unmanageable and we get overwhelmed. This can be due to life circumstances, a challenging diagnosis, or simply the realities of being human. The good news is, things can get better. Finding the right person to help you along the way is a huge step. I'd love to be your teammate in this journey. Working together, we'll get through this.

I have an individualized, empathetic, and interactive approach to psychotherapy. I work with clients in crisis, coping with previous or on-going trauma, and those simply looking for direction. I work with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, eating disorders, self-harm, sexual, emotional and/or physical abuse, LGBT issues, PTSD and complex/developmental trauma. My approach is a theoretical blend of psychodynamic,
humanistic
, existential, and client-centered.

I use an ecliptic approach based upon
humanistic
principals, using common denominators in terms of what brings us together as human beings.
I enjoy working with individuals of different ages, ethnicity, in need of individual, couples or family sessions. I believe that life is a journey, which at times, can be very challenging. Sometimes we find ourselves at a crossroads, trying to decide our direction. Staying on familiar paths can be easier yet repetitive and stagnant. Growth means change and following new paths, though unfamiliar and with unseen risks. Therapy can help one believe in themselves and try new paths, with the therapist lighting the way.

My approach is
humanistic
and client-centered in nature.
Do you find yourself worrying a lot? Feeling overwhelmed, helpless or unable to focus? Are you struggling with stress management, significant life changes or substance abuse? Perhaps you are not feeling like your usual self and want some objective support. You are not alone. No one grows or develops in a vacuum. You did not get to this point on your own. There is no reason that you need to get through it on your own either. Therapy can help. With the right therapist, you can learn to better cope with the inherent challenges in life. For many, I am that therapist.

It is possible to feel better and make changes in your life so you can thrive. I believe in radical self-acceptance and can help you increase your emotional understanding and self-awareness in order to develop skills to recognize barriers and thought patterns that prevent you from feeling the way you want to feel. My role is to empower you so you are comfortable introducing changes that will move you toward the life you want to live. By increasing your understanding of past and present experiences, you can improve your relationships, mood, and overall well-being.

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. During graduate school, I continued enhancing my experience by working hands-on with adolescents and adults as a behavioral technician and student therapist. Having spent thousands of hours treating adolescents and adults with ASD, I'm familiar with the lack of resources for teens and adults on the spectrum, which is what led me here!

Rediscover your happiness - or redefine it. Evolve stale relationships; generate meaningful experiences at work; introduce more peace and unity at home. Wherever you are struggling, I help you create a new lense through which you will gain insight into your thought patterns and behaviors and ultimately feel better. I earned my Masters degree in both clinical/community and school counseling, and a Masters degree in secondary education. I taught for 11 years, incorporating much adolescent, group, and family counseling during that time. I have expanded to counseling individuals and couples of all ages, including families.

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 being a psychotherapist for 30 years, learning and growing on the journey, I now am passionate about supporting my clients to open to learning about all the aspects of themselves, dark and light, and bringing love and acceptance to it all. It is here that we find true happiness and purpose. Through awareness, we find our way to ceasing judgement and the eternal push to find happiness outside of ourselves.. And as we learn to be in the present moment, we develop valuable skills for self regulation and resilience, freeing us to live the life of our dreams.

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.

Everyone has a story to tell. Our experiences are what make us unique. Sometimes those experiences can be absolutely wonderful, but sometimes they can unexpectedly flip our world upside down and leave us feeling hopeless, lost, or alone. We may not be able to change the experiences from our past, however, through our work together, we can make sure that they do not define our future. I’m here to listen without judgement, offer support, and encourage self reflection. I provide a safe space to confront whatever it is that may be holding you back from living your life to the fullest.

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.

Are you feeling out of sorts? Maybe overwhelmed, sad, down, worry too much, hurt too much, and don’t know what do to next? Or maybe you are experiencing deep grief and would like some relief from the relentless tears and sadness. Believe me you are not alone. Remembering times in my life when I did not even know what I was feeling, I felt so isolated, lost and confused. I happened to stumble upon a professional that helped me. Someone that I could trust and felt very comfortable with. I was very hesitant to take this step but somehow I did. It was by far the best thing I have ever done for myself. This is why I became a therapist.

Humanistic Therapists
How does humanistic therapy work?
One tenet of humanistic therapy is that people are good. The humanistic approach is concerned with a person’s ability to accept oneself. It likewise encourages a person to overcome self-criticism and self-defeating tendencies, as well as disapproval from others. This approach also emphasizes self-actualization and treating an individual as a whole person. A foundation of this therapy type: The patient is the expert in their life, and treatment often takes the individual’s lead.
Is humanistic therapy evidence-based?
Humanistic therapy is an evidence-based practice. Research has found that humanistic therapy can lead to significant improvement, and for some people it can be just as effective as other therapies, such as Cognitive behavioral therapy. The benefits of humanistic therapy are enduring.
How long does humanistic therapy last?
The goal of humanistic therapy is to understand a person’s day-to-day experiences. While sessions can be short-term and last over a few months, therapy can sometimes continue beyond that and last up to a year or more. And because patients learn the theory behind humanistic therapy during treatment, they can also practice its tenets throughout life after therapy sessions have been completed.
Is humanistic therapy effective?
According to research, many patients find success with humanistic therapy. Researchers note that the therapy is particularly useful in addressing poor self-esteem and self-sabotage, as well as improving conditions including anxiety and depression. Improvements in problem areas can be long standing, as individuals can continue working on themselves by using the tools they’ve learned during treatment.
