My ideal client is ready for change. It can absolutely terrify them, but they see the light and know they are worthy of healing and growing. Whether it is academic stress, conflicts between parents and children, healing past trauma, or navigating a difficult chapter in your life. Therapy can be a helpful place to learn new coping skills, challenge your thoughts, a space to feel heard, or a person to share with without getting "advice" from loved ones. Wherever you are in your journey, if therapy could help remind yourself that you are worth the try!

I love working with children and families. I want to have clear communication with guardians while also creating a safe space that allows children to express themselves with a degree of age-appropriate privacy. I work with children to identify their emotions, learn their emotional triggers, and build a toolkit of coping skills. I also work with you as guardian to build plans of action at home and provide psychoeducation that is research backed so that you feel informed and confident in your parenting. I also recognize that as your family grows and changes you may find it helpful to reach out for support for yourself.

Any time is a good time to begin therapy, but I am also a firm believer that life transitions cause each of us to reflect more - losses, major changes, new relationships, break-ups or divorce, new children.
“Love takes off masks that we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live within,” James Baldwin once said. Do you want more connection in your life, to have a community of loved ones, however large or small? You are not alone. Each of us desires connection, and yet trauma and broken relationships between loved ones often get in the way - this brokenness can affect our closest relationships, and families suffer. Or, sometimes you may feel like you don’t really know or love yourself as well as you think you should. These questions, desires, and fears are part of the human experience, and part of my own life experience.

I provide a warm, friendly, and "human" environment for clients and their families within which we can work together to address the concerns and problems that are creating problems in everyday life. In today's environment, there are so many pressures on kids and their parents...school, friends, finances, jobs...and sometimes it seems overwhelming. Together we can find some solutions to make coping with life's stresses easier and more productive. Communication is a key factor, as well as developing strategies that help in managing those difficult situations.

Mental strength is not the ability to stay out of the darkness; it's the ability to sit present in the darkness knowing that the light will shine again. As a psychotherapist, my goal is to provide clients with a safe place to feel relaxed and able to speak freely and honestly. I'm there to motivate, engage and guide them. I use cognitive behavioral therapy, client-centered, problem solving and motivational techniques.

Child Therapists
Child psychologists in Dearborn, MI provide mental health therapy to children and are experts in child development.

Every comprehensive review of therapy with children shows that all credible approaches, when performed by a competent mental health clinician, produce almost the same results. About half of all kids will get better. Of those that improve, 80% will show progress in a relatively short time, while the remaining 20% will need longer-term support.

The best child therapists in Dearborn build great relationships with the child and the parent. They also see the child's strengths and are open to hearing the child's possible solutions to the challenges the child faces. Finally, a good therapist appreciates the child's culture and is sensitive to the values of the child's community.
