Therapists in Inkster, MI

Openings between 10am-4pm. As a psychotherapist, I know that efficient therapy only works in a warm and safe environment in order to help you get back on track or to find new balance in life. We all have strengths and weaknesses, with the hope of therapy being that you will be able to find deeper insight to recraft yourself into the person you want. I believe that we can work together in order to overcome most issues that you might be experiencing and make sufficient progress towards your own goals in treatment, while maintaining a focus on personal growth.

Are you looking for more than just a “quick fix” for the stress, anxiety, depression, or other challenge you’re facing? You want to feel better, sure, but even more than that, you’d like to to understand the meaning behind what you’re going through. There may be experiences from your past you’ve never really talked about, but you have a sense they’re impacting your life today. Maybe you’ve been to therapy in the past but are now looking for more insight, depth, or intellectual stimulation than before. You want help exploring the story of your life and how all of the social, emotional, and relational puzzle pieces fit together.

I specialize in Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and in solving painful, heartbreaking, devastating cases. Living through traumatic events may result in expectations of danger, betrayal, or potential harm within new or old relationships. Survivors may feel vulnerable and need clarification about what is safe. Therefore, trusting others, even those you previously trusted, may be challenging. It may feel frightening to get close to people for fear of being hurt in an unsafe world. When we conclude, you will see that building trust in old and new relationships is essential to healthy relationships after trauma.

I focus on the connectedness among developmental, social, relational, and cultural factors. I have experience working with a diverse population of clients, including children, adolescents, adults, couples and families. I work with clients dealing with many different issues. I have worked with clients from a myriad of racial and ethnic backgrounds but have focused experience working with Black and Native American clients striving to work through race-related stress and racial identity concerns. I work with sexual identity and gender identity concerns (e.g., trans, questioning, gender non-conforming).

You've got big giant feelings you're wrestling with. Or maybe you're too much in your head and it's getting loud in there. Feelings of stress, anxiety, or sadness are affecting your relationships, your work and even your body. This may be due to a recent challenge or something you've been carrying for a long time. The good news is you've also got a lot of gifts and talents and we can collaborate to cultivate those strengths.

I provide individual, couples, and family psychotherapy using a Humanistic and Client-centered approach, with an emphasis on short-term, solution focused treatment. I have an extensive background in the holistic health field and in the field of psychology, and find that many issues including stress, depression, anxiety, focusing-issues, relationship problems, and chronic pain/illness can be effectively worked through by creating a strong rapport and finding balance and harmony within oneself and one's environment.

In my practice, I adopt an approach that puts your intrinsic strengths front and center, focusing on you as a unique individual. I take into account your overall well-being and draw from a specialized understanding of chronic, toxic stress, and complex trauma. My commitment is to establish an environment that fully embraces your needs, concerns, and aspirations. I strongly believe in the transformative power of recognizing and magnifying your inner strengths. Through a person-centered approach, my sole focus is on you – your experiences, your emotions, and your unique journey.

Openings available! I take an approach to therapy that is centered on building trust and a belief that clients know themselves the best. I feel it is important to form a relationship that becomes the framework that leads to understanding and change. I have provided therapy to young adults/adults in various settings and worked with individuals facing different concerns including anxiety, depression, substance use, adjustment-related stress, difficult relationship dynamics, grief/loss, and identity development. I also specialize in working with those who have been impacted by a loved one's addiction.

My focus is guiding clients to a fulfilling life. At A Better Future, we improve mental well-being. Addressing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and self-esteem struggles in relationships is daunting. We promote personal growth by confronting emotions like anger, shame, guilt, and insecurity. Embracing this chance to alleviate psychological distress is crucial for transformative change. Effective coping and addressing challenges cultivate resilience, fostering healthier relationships and self-worth. I aim to provide insight into masculine perspectives, sparking positive transformation.

Most people need help adjusting to changes, coping with trauma, and managing stress. Most people want to better understand themselves. This journey can be challenging and often painful. You need support at times, and it takes strength to ask for it. If you are ready for a new path, and ready to learn about yourself, please contact me today.

Michigan Counseling Centers (MCC) goal is to provide you with the guidance and support needed to help resolve the issues that are causing discomfort.

In a confidential, safe, and private setting, we focus on your present predicaments and stress, your family history, and the course of your problems to map effective treatments. Psychological therapy helps you begin to acknowledge and understand the sources of your emotional distress, enhance your coping strategies, and recognize the breadth of your strengths. With increased knowledge and emotional learning, you not only put your life into a more coherent perspective, but you also learn to face life-predicaments with acceptance, flexibility, courage, tolerance, and the ability to take responsibility for your actions. I refer to physician colleagues for pharmacotherapy to treat biological vulnerabilities such as major depression, bipolar disorder, OCD, and ADHD. Pharmacotherapy is sometimes an important component of effective psychological therapy.

PTSD sucks. It keeps you up at night, makes it hard to relax even on the weekends and drains the happiness out of life. No matter how hard you try you can't help feeling triggered and jumpy. It can make you feel ticked off at the smallest things. You might be withdrawing from others and wanting to shut down because you're losing hope it'll get better. This can lead to depression, anxiety, addictions, relationship problems and more. If it feels like you're going through the motions and barely holding it together, you're in the right place. Helping trauma survivors is my passion.

I have worked with people having several issues, including but not limited to, Depression, Anxiety, Suicidal Ideation, Emotional Dys-Regulation, Social Anxiety, Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD/ADD), Relationship Issues, LGBTQ+ issues, Social Communication/Boundary Issues, Divorce, Grief and Loss, and other Life Challenges. I counsel teenagers and adults who are dealing with some of these life challenges. I want to help you to be able to move forward again – taking one small step at a time. I want to remind you that you are not alone and that there is help available.
