Therapists in Royal Oak, MI

Everyone has times in their lives when stress seems overwhelming, when ways that we use to cope just aren't working anymore, or are even making the situation worse. Even more so coming out of a pandemic. You might be sad, anxious, hurting yourself or isolating and want to change. Counseling can help you to move forward at times when you feel stuck, can help you to develop new coping skills and tools to manage life's challenges, and rediscover the strength inside you. I provide an accepting, non-judgmental, confidential environment, and a safe place to explore your thoughts and feelings with a caring, compassionate listener.

I work with adults and adolescents of all ages to overcome challenges related to relationship & family conflict, stress, grief, depression, anxiety, and trauma. I believe the foundation of effective therapy is rooted in compassionate listening, honest and open communication, and respect for one another. I believe in the client-centered approach for healing and bring your voice and experiences into our work. I'm also committed to social justice and acknowledges how injustices play a role in the healing process. Together, we can work towards healing and self-determination. I offer evening sessions.

To all mothers navigating the beautiful yet challenging journey of parenthood - whether it's the anticipation of pregnancy, the rollercoaster of postpartum emotions, or the challenges of raising older children - I'm here to walk alongside you. Your experiences are unique, and your feelings are valid. Together, let's navigate the highs and lows, celebrate the victories, and equip you with the tools and strategies needed for self-care and growth. Whether you need guidance, validation, or simply a listening ear, know that you're not alone. Your well-being matters, and I'm here to help you prioritize it.

My primary goal as an effective clinician is to work with compassion and drive to help individuals find solutions to life’s struggles while improving their interpersonal relationships and encouraging self-actualization. As a master’s level clinician, I work in a private practice where I specialize in trauma, anxiety, and depression.

I have over 22 years of mental health experience with a Doctorate Degree in Clinical Psychology from the MiSPP and Master of Arts Degree from the UDM in Clinical Psychology with a concentration in addiction studies. I provide Compassionate and Individualized treatment. My approach to therapy is eclectic utilizing a variety of modalities, including psychodynamic, solution focused, insight orientated. I have experience working with adolescents, adults, and geriatrics seeking treatment for anxiety, depression, health issues, divorce, life transitions, stress, LGBT+ issues, parent training, couples counseling, and consultation.

Do you feel anxious, depressed, stressed, or overwhelmed? Are you tired of negative self-talk, repetitive thoughts, the same pattern(s) of behavior, or being unhappy in your relationships? Do you want to feel better about yourself and your relationships, experience greater life satisfaction, and have more energy? These things come from having greater self-possession, which is the ability to have a stronger sense of self and be able to fully know and express your truth.

No matter how hard you try, you can’t show up in your life the way you imagine and intend to. You fantasize about your ideal life, but unhealthy patterns keep you from showing up for yourself and those you care about in ways that don’t align with your values. It’s difficult for you to be present, which causes disruption in all areas of your life and increases your anxiety. You feel ashamed of your reaction to stress, which makes you feel lonely and disconnected. You know you need to prioritize yourself and set boundaries, but you’re fearful that this might cause another disruption, which is just too overwhelming.

You’re exhausted, overwhelmed by the pace of modern life, stuck in relationships or jobs that don’t fulfill you. You want to change but you’re too bogged down by your inner critic that says you’re “too much” or “not enough”. You’re ready to feel at home with yourself, at home in your life. That’s where I come in. Together we will help you alleviate anxiety and past trauma to manifest more joy, peace, & meaningful connection. We will work to understand and heal your people-pleasing & perfectionist parts so you can learn what YOU truly want in life & how to get it on your own terms.

Are you experiencing challenges with feeling stuck and uncertain of your future? Do you often feel overwhelmed in achieving your desired goals? Are you finding yourself possibly taking the path of most resistance? Do you feel like you have been struggling through your journey alone? You are a high performer with perfectionism tendencies however, it feels like the more you try, the more difficult it is to achieve acceptance, healing and forgiveness. Feeling overwhelmed can often create a sense of helplessness and a sense of being out of control.

Throughout my professional career, I have been most described as relatable, genuine, compassionate, and encouraging. After retiring from 25 years of law enforcement service, my compassion for all people led me to become a Licensed Professional Counselor. My interactions with others have taught me that there is a story or set of circumstances behind every situation. My goal is to create an environment where you feel safe to disclose and discuss your personal challenges without the fear of judgement, ridicule, or embarrassment. My team of public safety insiders and I also have a keen understanding of the public safety culture.
