Psychosis Therapists in Dearborn Heights, MI

Do you experience negative thoughts about yourself, frequent worries about the future, or maybe even become so numb that you feel nothing at all? I believe that everyone has some sort of trauma from their past that continues to affect their well-being and relationships with others. I will be curious about what you are showing up to therapy with; because I believe that our symptoms tell a story. They tell us what helped us to survive in a sometimes harsh and unjust world, but maybe no longer serve us. In order words, the things we do that once protected us, are usually the same things that hold us back today.

You’ve been staring at your computer screen for the last hour and have made zero progress. You must have read and reread this report a dozen times, but you’re still not sure what any of it says. For some reason, you just can’t seem to focus on anything lately. Work assignments are late, your home is a mess, and your relationships are falling apart. It’s as though you’re in a downward spiral of chaos with no way to slow your descent. You wish there was some way to regain the control and normalcy you once took for granted. But making any change feels hopeless, and you’re just about ready to give up. There must be some other way.

I believe working closely with clients to help them reach their fullest potential through developing goals, creating healthy boundaries, and empowering you for change. I use evidence based cognitive behavioral methods to help you challenge everyday thinking that keeps you locked in self destructive or unhealthy patterns, which ultimately diminish quality of life and satisfaction of relationships. It is crucial for clients to understand their issues fully so corrective action and healing may happen. I meet my clients where they are in their lives and incorporate their culture, personal talents and strengths, religion, sexual orientation, and ethnic background into the counseling process for authentic exchange.
