Therapists in Royal Oak, MI

Asking for help is often one of the hardest things to do. Often, by the time people seek me out, they've tried everything they can to get things turned around. Sometimes it's the stigma around mental health that make seeking help so difficult. I think differently. I recognize the courage it takes to ask for help. I commend those who are willing to prioritize self-improvement, over silent suffering. Whether you're looking for help with one of the common challenges, or you've been dealing with difficulties for a long time, I can help guide you.

Anxiety and burnout can be unrelenting. What starts as a small, passing thought or feeling can quickly become overactive thoughts, reactive emotions, racing heartbeat, restlessness, insomnia, mood swings, and more. These symptoms and thoughts seep into small and big decisions, relationships, work, hobbies, and routine activities. I help clients identify anxious thoughts and behavior patterns, engaging them as an active participant in their own mental health healing. I encourage reflection and awareness, teach coping strategies, and promote accountability for emotional well-being.

Have you suffered a loss that seems unbearable? Have you had to adjust to difficult changes in your life? Many life events cause us to feel hopeless, overwhelmed, and trapped. Physical and mental health can suffer. Prior to entering the counseling field, I was a nurse for 25 years. My background in nursing combined with counseling allow me the unique ability to provide guidance in navigating the complex system of healthcare, and the perspective to assist clients in effectively coping with life's painful experiences.

My clinical experience includes working with adolescents, emerging adults and families experiencing challenges including trauma, depression, anxiety, addiction, LGBTQ issues, interpersonal relationship struggles, grief and life-transitions. I have specialized training in suicide prevention, giftedness and am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional. My approach toward therapy is introspective, yet positive and hopeful. I truly believe that everyone has the potential to live a life of purpose and joy.
