Motivational Interviewing Therapists in West Bloomfield, MI

I believe one of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story. Reaching out for support often comes during a time of crisis or after living for many years with the weight emotional pain. Bringing people from crisis to hope is the forefront of my practice. The lack of access to quality mental health care for persons of color is real, and mental health needs are at times unmet. My cultural competence through life experience has allowed me to work well with individuals of diverse backgrounds.

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.

It is not always easy to talk to friends or family about worries. Sometimes you may want to talk to someone else to vent, help you make a decision or do something different in your life.

It does not matter what your presenting problem is my promise is to help without judgement. If I am not a match for you my goal is to help you find the right counselor that fits your needs.

Mental health is often overlooked or treated as a shameful part of the human experience. I would like to offer clients a safe space to share, open up, and work on growing.

​I believe that no two paths are the same. Everyone has a unique path that makes them who they are. This path may lead to a planned destination, make an unexpected turn, or hit a few bumps along the way. Change can be hard and heightened feelings of stress, anxiety, and depression can make that change feel much more difficult and lonely. Instead of allowing these changes in our path to hold us back, we should accept and embrace these changes to continue along our journey. This mindset helps us to cope with the ups and downs of life. Everyone has their own path, however, that doesn't mean they have to be on their path alone.

I have experience working with a diverse array of clients from varying backgrounds with unique concerns. I enjoy working with couples, children, and adults, primarily those who have experienced trauma, the grief associated with a loss, and mood disorders such as depression and anxiety. My style and approach are personalized based on your needs, but are typically solution focused and rooted in empathy, partnership, and humor.
