Therapists in Northville, MI

When you have a long history of mental health struggles, healing can feel impossible. This can be especially true for those with a trauma history - trauma manifests in emotional and physical symptoms that can feel too big to confront. However, it is possible to feel better with the right tools and approach. At the heart of my practice is a deep respect for the courage it takes to seek healing. I believe in providing a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental space for my clients to explore their experiences and emotions.

My goal as a therapist is to help guide people of all ages through their current life experiences. I utilize a strength-based approach, designed to bring my client's strengths to the forefront while encouraging development and processing the more difficult experiences and feelings impacting them. I aim to decrease the discomfort my client feels while striving to improve long term coping skills. I find success utilizing a trauma informed, relational approach. I work exceptionally well with those suffering from Depression, Anxiety, Trauma, maladaptive behaviors, and those who don’t really know what’s wrong, but want to figure it out.

I consider it a privilege to work alongside others who are going through a difficult time. I have seen many occasions in which difficult times become transitions into a more meaningful and gratifying life. My desire is to build a trusting relationship with you so that you feel free to discuss any and all of your concerns. Together we will discuss your goals for change and the best way for us to achieve them. I have over 21 years of experience providing psychotherapy, as well as considerable experience prior to obtaining my Masters.

Your life feels like you’re in the eye of a hurricane. Nothing feels settled, safe or familiar. Your relationship is ending, and you’re feeling all the things (depression, anxiety, panic, confusion.) It might feel like there’s no path toward the light, or hope, or future happiness, but there can be. I work with clients who are navigating major relationship change, healing from grief and loss, using their resiliency to recover from the depression and anxiety these changes bring. What you see as the end, may truly be a new beginning. Let me help you find your path, and we’ll find it in a way that’s true to you.

Therapy serves different purposes for many people. For some, it is to reduce specific symptoms that negatively impact their lives, and for others, it provides them with space to learn tools or establish goals to improve their everyday life. Many of us need a safe space to investigate who we were, who we are, and who we would like to be. Therapy serves as this space. Together in therapy, we can take the first step to improvement but it first starts with your decision to begin.

Life is predictably unpredictable. Despite this, adapting to challenges may not always feel familiar or simple. Feeling understood and accepted is a powerful aspect to dealing with change, but not always available or prevalent. My goal is to provide support and tools while navigating through a variety of struggles and challenges. I strive to provide a holistic therapeutic approach that best fits each individual I work with.

I want to help by providing support, guidance, and compassion to make your life easier and more enjoyable.
