I enjoy working with men and women on depression, grief and loss, anxiety, men's issues, self-esteem, relationship challenges, obesity and weight loss, chronic pain, and long-term disabilities such as visual impairment.

Bariatric Psychological Evaluations and Therapy (Michigan Residents Only): The Center for Psychological Well-Being specializes in psychological factors related to bariatric surgery and weight loss. We provide evaluations and therapy for patients who are preparing for bariatric surgery or who have had bariatric surgery. Evaluations and therapy can be done virtually or in person. We are compassionate about the battles and struggles; emotional, physical, and psychological, surrounding obesity. Our goal is to educate clients on the psychological aspects of bariatric surgery and assist them with any difficulties before and after surgery.

Welcome to a safe space for black women, indigenous women, women of color and our allies. It is important to recognize that cultural factors can impact how conditions are experienced and treated. For example, research has shown that individuals from BIPOC racial and ethnic backgrounds may be less likely to seek mental health treatment due to cultural stigma, lack of access to care, or mistrust of healthcare providers. As a black doctor with cultural understanding, I am uniquely positioned to address these barriers and provide culturally sensitive care for women with ADHD, Anxiety, Obesity and Professional Burnout.

In the human experience, few emotions are more debilitating than shame. Maybe it’s the voice in your head beating you down at every turn. Maybe you find yourself stuck in past mistakes, or overwhelmed by everything that could go wrong in the future. Maybe experience has taught you to find yourself less-than in worth, relationship, and ability. When dealing with this kind of pain, vulnerability becomes unbelievably challenging, but incredibly healing.

My specialty areas include anxiety, depression, trauma, substance abuse, chronic pain, adjustment, and stress management.
