Trauma Focused Therapists in Rochester Hills, MI

"Real change, enduring change, happens one step at a time" - Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Change will look different for everyone, especially depending on the goals you have set for yourself. Sometimes, the realization that there are other possibilities (and that hope for a better future can even exist) is the very first step. Maybe you have realized that you are ready to explore your potential and to develop more insight into how you are engaging with the world around you. I would be honored to guide you on this journey to increase clarity, self-awareness, and empowerment.

I take pride in bringing healing to people who have been through trauma/stressful experiences and those who are struggling with day to day life transitions and concerns. My job is to help my clients who include adults, children and families to find healthy perceptions of themselves, different coping skills and a new found strength within themselves to take on the world and thrive. I work with each client to create individual goals that best suit you to help you achieve your desired outcome.

The reason clients continue to refer family and friends to me, is because I connects with them in a non-judgmental laid-back professional way. During my 30+ years of counseling, I have dealt with clients whom in their life journey have picked up anxiety, depression and hopelessness. In my sessions I use many tools to help them understand, reflect and solve their issues. This will relieve them of stress. Come see me, and together we peel the layers of your problem and get to the core and solve it.

Therapy is a challenging process of growth and healing. I like to help those who are dealing with depression, anxiety, and relationship issues. My job is to help you deal with the different challenges of life. I also have experience dealing with substance abuse and other addiction issues. As a person with a Cerebral Palsy, I believe in being honest and transparent and dealing with whatever challenges life has to offer. I believe that there is no issue that can't be dealt with and conquered. I want to help people overcome their challenges and achieve there goals and dreams

My office provides a pleasant atmosphere designed to give you the best counseling experience possible. I'm here to help you work through your challenges and help you to improve your behavioral and mental health. I work with persons with PTSD, trauma, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, etc.

With over 30 years of experience as a psychotherapist I am committed to helping others find solutions to their problems in a safe, caring and confidential environment. I believe as adults we are responsible for the choices we make in life. If we don't like the way things are, and can't accept our past, it is our responsibility to learn to recognize and change the things we can, especially our self-defeating behaviors. I believe that with professional counseling we can increase our knowledge and skills for making better choices, finding solutions to our problems, and making changes that last.

Tired of struggling with this problem, again? You don't need to live like this. Sometimes, despite our best efforts, we are unable to make the changes that transform our life. Having a professional look at the situation can add a fresh perspective and support you in taking the first steps toward freedom and a healthy life. I provide an environment that is safe, supportive and nonjudgmental. My clients have ranged from 10 years old to elderly.

My specialty lies in trauma and complicated grief and loss. We all need a safe place to talk and express our emotions...knowing that the person listening understands the impact of YOUR loss/trauma on YOUR life. Many times we learn through our tragedies...but ALWAYS it changes who we are and our perspective. By talking out the new emotional/perspective changes, at times forced upon you, we can defuse the shame, the fear, and the doubts; helping you move forward from tragedy. The fact is you CAN move forward, through and past tragedy.

During this unprecedented time of change and uncertainty, people are being challenged in ways they never imagined. I'm available to assist anyone struggling with anxiety, depression, domestic abuse ( the numbers are growing while quarantined), and general coping skills. You don't have to suffer alone , please reach out to get the support you need until we find our way through this crisis. I accept BCBS and Aetna insurance, and I have a reduced private pay for those who do not have insurance.

Shall we talk about the issues you face? You may not be sure how to deal with them on your own. We could talk them through and consider the best solutions that would ease your mind by removing worrisome thoughts. Learning how to resolve some of these issues with people you relate to all the time will increase their understanding of you.

For many of us, problems with concentration, low energy or motivation, and conflict with those close to us make each day a challenge, resulting in unhealthy coping methods. Anxiety and depression are oftentimes the cause for these difficulties. I help clients using a cognitive behavioral approach to treat those issues and others such as guilt, self-esteem, trauma, anger, addiction, GLBT issues, and family/behavior problems. I rely on a solution-focused, collaborative approach. My practice is geared toward children ages 8 & up, adolescents, and adults.
