Family Therapy in Birmingham, MI
My Mission is to enhance the lives of my patients by encouraging "Change". Change is a a word with so much possibility. With very small steps forward one can slowly but surely understand the past and how it affects the present. This process can lead to building a strong sense of self love and a path to loving positive relationships. In order to feel fulfilled in life, we must believe in ourselves, and in our right to enjoy success and happiness.

The concerns that life brings us vary widely, but I often see people struggle with stress management, anxiety, depression, school or work-related concerns, relationship difficulties, parenting concerns, and the uncertainty of life's transitions. My approach is both collaborative and person-centered, while always rooted in evidence-based practices. Therapy is a place to unpack suffering in order to find understanding, balance, peace, hope, and joy.

Welcome! I specialize in working with adult children of (and/or partners to) narcissists and the emotionally immature/abusive/unavailable. My clients say they’re relieved to have found a therapist who "gets" them. I am ready to "get" and care for you, too. Are you experiencing anxiety, depression, low self-worth, self-doubt/blame, shame, guilt, a sense of obligation? Are you an expert "people pleaser" because you had to be? Did you receive attention, love, acceptance based on certain conditions? Did you experience controlling behavior and/or inconsistency/instability that felt unsafe? Is it hard to advocate for yourself? I get it.

Many people struggle with feelings of insecurity, fears and doubts in their lives. They begin to notice the same patterns over and over again that don't seem to be working in terms of adding happiness and security to their everyday life. As a psychotherapist with 25 years of experience, I engage with each client with empathy, compassion, knowledge and understanding. If you experience difficulty coping and feel overwhelmed - I can help offer a balanced perspective.

Do you have intrusive thoughts or worries, or maybe unexplainable urges or images that seem to come out of nowhere, are repetitive, that are stuck in your mind and cause significant distress and anxiety, and sometimes shame because of the themes? Are these obsessive thoughts, images or urges unwanted and continue to exist even though you know they are irrational, causing you to doubt yourself? Do you feel compelled to perform repetitive behaviors or mental rituals in order to decrease the anxiety and distress caused by the obsessions? If so, you may have Obsessive Compulsive Disorder or a OCD spectrum disorder.

In life, you may often feel you’re stagnant, in the same repetitive cycle. You feel stressed and overwhelmed with responsibilities. Your direction seems unclear, and you’re uncertain how to reach the next chapter. You may be an overachiever who strives for perfection yet, are exhausted at the end of the day. You feel as if no one understands your inner thoughts and experience difficulty living up to the expectations of others. You fear being judged, causing you to distance yourself for fear of rejection. You have troubled relationships with others, due to not having the time or energy to socialize or fear saying the wrong thing.
