Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Therapists in Plymouth, MI

I view my work with people as a partnership with the goal of assisting them in discovering how they can use their greatest qualities to overcome personal difficulties, so they can live a more peaceful and fulfilling life. I was initially trained to work with those who suffer with addiction to alcohol and drugs. I have worked in several inpatient drug treatment programs and intensive outpatient drug treatment programs.

Let me start off by acknowledging how overwhelming it can be to find a therapist! It takes courage and persistence. I take great care of my clients by providing a compassionate and safe space to begin making sense of their lives, both past and present. Together we'll explore how personal challenges involving anxiety, depression, or trauma may be taking a toll on your relationships, work, and quality of life. My specialties include working with teens and adults who have issues related to depression, anxiety, trauma, co-dependency, chronic pain/illness, and post-partum depression and anxiety.

You don’t need a diagnosed condition to benefit from talking to someone. Therapy is not one-size-fits-all, so I utilize a person-centered approach. You are the focus. Your experience, goals, desired results, and expectations from therapy will be the first topic. I provide a welcoming, comfortable, and safe space that utilizes a range of integrative treatments that allow you to challenge, reflect, and accept yourself. I believe in the role of attachment-based & somatic-based interventions which allow for the healing of the nervous system. I specialize in treating trauma/adverse life experiences, anxiety, and depressive disorders.

I’d like to invite you to make yourself at home in the most holistic way possible. This is your time and opportunity to sit one-on-one with a skilled therapist and create a confidential space to share your thoughts, feelings, and emotions. I provide psychological assessment and treatment to adolescents – mature adults suffering from anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, family challenges, and life transitions. I see each individual as one-of-a-kind and use that mentality to tailor a unique treatment plan created just for you. I am currently seeing clients via telehealth, and I am happy to set up a free 15 minute consultation.

Does your child struggle with anxiety, obsessive thinking, or perfectionistic tendencies? If yes, I can help both you and your child learn new skills to foster healthy thinking and development. I specialize in working with children and adolescents with anxiety, OCD, and histories of trauma. I value the importance of providing a safe, warm, and empathetic environment to establish a secure therapeutic relationship with all clients. I believe that childhood and adolescence are sensitive and important periods of development. I meet each client where they are, while providing the tools and support to allow them to move forward.

Our experiences do not define us, it’s what we do with them that matters most! Over the last 20 years I have had the privilege of working with some amazing people and families. People who have bravely been willing to address the uncomfortable. Whether these challenges were externally caused, or inherently part of us, there was hope. One of the only things we are guaranteed is change, it is this understanding that fuels my investment in working with people on their journey of personal growth. In an environment of safety, validation, authenticity and respect, empowerment grows. Let’s see about growing hope in the acceptance of change.

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.

Does your child or teen struggle with managing their emotions and behaviors? Do you need help in supporting your child's emotional needs? Does your parent-child relationship need to grow? Does your family need support to cope with a traumatic event or difficult life stressors? I work with children as young as three, neurodiverse clients with ADHD and learning challenges, and clients who struggle with anxiety, depression, and anger. I use neurodiversity affirming, person-centered, culturally sensitive, and trauma-informed frameworks to provide my clients lasting change.

As a pediatric clinical psychologist, I specialize in harnessing evidence-based, cutting-edge psychological interventions to help children, teens, young adults, parents, and families overcome anxiety, depression, school challenges, suicidality/self-harm, parenting stress, chronic pain, sleep concerns, physical symptoms (somatic, conversion/FNSD), and cope with chronic medical illness. I have practiced in Metro Detroit and the San Francisco Bay Area for over 10 years and I've been fortunate to train at world-class institutions, including St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and Stanford University.
