Bipolar Disorder Therapists in Detroit, MI

Life is all about decisions from the moment we wake up to the minute we go to bed. Some decisions we make with ease because the answer just makes sense. Others come with a level of difficulty that we may or may not be prepared for. Some answers come easy, while others take some thought. As we move through life, and begin making decisions about work, relationships, and family we sometimes forget about ourselves – wanting to be everything for everybody and leaving very little for ourselves. If you’ve ever found yourself feeling exhausted from helping others (burnout or compassion fatigue), you’re in the right place to re-center.

When life feels overwhelming, hard to navigate, or burdensome, therapy can offer a consistent and safe environment of support. I believe in integrating all aspects of the individual into the therapeutic experience to view challenges through a holistic approach. You are a full spectrum person, and by incorporating the body, spirit, and mind in therapy, we can work together to develop an improved quality of life and achieve your goals. As your therapist it is important to me to develop a collaborative and trusting relationship with you, serving as the foundation for growth. I believe in therapy as a support to feel confident and free.

I specialize in couple and family therapy. I help people improve communication and underlying beliefs that contribute to relationship problems. Often, most relationship issues or family problems are based on unmet emotional needs or underlying issues that have yet to be addressed in a constructive way. Most people need a neutral party to help clarify their needs and expectations. I also help individuals, from a variety of backgrounds overcome issues such as depression, anxiety, trauma, poor self-esteem and work stress.

As a licensed clinical therapist, I've spent my time working with adults of all age ranges, in college, in professional careers, even in retirement. I work with people who desire a mental health professional for support in managing demanding careers, lifestyles, transitions, processing conflicts, grief and loss, past traumas, managing mental illness including depression, anxiety, mood disorders, addictions and any range of unexpected crisis that can occur throughout our journey in life.

Your mental health is as important as the breath you breathe. Therapy is a connection to things you desire and the barriers in life. The mind and body are often treated separately; but mental and physical health are closely connected. Your journey begins with addressing areas that are most troublesome for you; by pacing yourself, exploring acknowledgment of self-love and trusting the process.

I use an integrated approach tailoring different therapeutic theories and tools to the specific needs of my individual clients. Starting therapy often feels intimidating, uncomfortable and vulnerable. I understand this and offer a non-judgemental and validating space to process your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. My clients have described me as easy to talk to, authentic, and validating. I help clients to explore past ways they've coped and survived, the inherent strengths they already have within them, and to identify patterns they might not be aware of. I practice and preach self-compassion and acceptance.

I have experience working with anxiety, depression, trauma, loss, anger, complicated relationships and complicated situations. Has your life been influenced by behaviors, family, friends, home, school, society and/or work? Life has many layers. It’s complicated and challenging. It can be difficult to process and work through it all. I have always been curious about how personal beliefs, thoughts, behaviors, and backgrounds have impacted people.

We all need emotional support in our lives. I respect the fact that it takes a level of bravery to step outside one's comfort zone to seek help in times of trouble. Getting therapy does not mean that you are "crazy". Instead, therapy can be empowering, and exercises our emotional potential. I provide an objective perspective and empathy that you may not typically receive from friends or family. I am honored to work with those who are attempting to seek help in bettering their lives.
