Therapists in Detroit, MI

Feeling lost, alone, maybe intimidated by the changes that this time of uncertainty can bring? Transitions in life can leave us questioning our identities and self concept. I have a specialized focus working with those experiencing the adjustment of family planning, pregnancy, parenthood and loss, each can be isolating bringing about identity shifts, confusion and the mourning of what once was with the adjustment to the new norm. These transitions can also cause stress and strain in our interpersonal relationships.

Life transitions are stressful. Take time to pause, process, and grow. I have a particular interest in supporting new and growing families facing postpartum depression and anxiety. Growing your family has its ups and downs. I'm here to support you as you think about having a baby, as you progress through your pregnancy, or as you enter into parenthood. Maybe you are grieving a loss, struggling to cope with body or relationship changes, feeling anxious or depressed, or any of the other things that life throws your way. You are not alone.

Hey Mama... Tired of pretending you're fine? It's OK to not be OK! Adulting is HARD. Relationships are HARD. Parenting is HARD. You are worthy of support and validation, being heard and seen. No expectations. No judgement. No drama. I am dedicated to supporting new, experienced, and hopeful moms through life’s transitions and stresses. My person-centered, holistic approach allows me to develop individually-tailored treatment plans to support you in setting realistic expectations and healthy goals.

I believe that people are so close to their own life’s challenges and stressors that they often miss what is right in front of them. Therapy provides an opportunity to step back and regain perspective. I know that each individual is an expert in their own lives, and at the end of the day, only they know what is best for them. Through therapy, I create a supportive and nonjudgmental space for you to speak your truth and look at things in a different way. I will point out and empower you to use your strengths to your advantage. Finally, I will sprinkle in some humor, swear words, and quote The Office because laughter is important.

Life is all about decisions from the moment we wake up to the minute we go to bed. Some decisions we make with ease because the answer just makes sense. Others come with a level of difficulty that we may or may not be prepared for. Some answers come easy, while others take some thought. As we move through life, and begin making decisions about work, relationships, and family we sometimes forget about ourselves – wanting to be everything for everybody and leaving very little for ourselves. If you’ve ever found yourself feeling exhausted from helping others (burnout or compassion fatigue), you’re in the right place to re-center.
