Existential Therapists in Detroit, MI

Existential dread, or adversity in everyday life antagonizes everyone at some point. Life seems to happen all the time, then, when it rains, it pours. Sometimes we suffer more than we triumph, and when we do, its easy to get lost. Seeking safety in our most vulnerable times can appear impossible, but it is not. I offer a safe space and understanding. My ideal client base are people who are seeking solutions, and willing to do the necessary actions to create the changes that they most prefer. When there is a problem, there are always multiple solutions. The goal is to help everyone no matter how complicated the problems/issues are.

My passion is working with clients who identify with some (or all) of the following Intersections: LGBTQIA+, Ethically Non-monogamous, Chronically Ill, and Neurodivergent (especially late diagnosis ND). Most of my clinical experience has been with clients whose identities exist at these intersections, in addition to Complex Trauma. I want to help you build the life you have only imagined by aiding you in identifying and healing from your core wounds. This is done by collaborating in order to understand your unique System (both internal and external) - from that insight we work to build Self-Worth, Self-Esteem, and Self-Compassion.

I'm a National Board Certified, Licensed Professional Counselor. I treat clients for depression, anxiety, grief and loss, self-esteem and anger issues, post traumatic-stress disorder (PTSD), sexual trauma, career and life coaching. I use an integrated theoretical approach that includes Cognitive Behavior and Existential Therapy. I use an empathic and individualized approach to help my clients. I strive to honor and respect the uniqueness of each individual; beginning therapy by identifying and understanding my client's goals and establishing a treatment plan based on those individualized goals.

I am a multi-degreed licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Certified Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CAADC) in Michigan. The goal is to assist my clients in working through issues that negatively affect them in their daily lives. I work with clients who may be struggling with depression or trauma related to their relationships or family.

Most of my clients see a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first month and sustained improvement afterward.

Life is complicated. Let's figure it out. Accepting Clients In-Person & Online - It could be long-term depression or recent development in your life. You could be severely depressed or mildly so. Maybe you’re feeling stuck, lost, or empty. Maybe what used to work for you doesn't anymore. You're trying to make changes but it doesn't seem to be working. Maybe you're always feeling tired, exhausted, or generally bad about yourself. Perhaps you're high strung and having difficulty calming down. Therapy can truly help you find more meaning and happiness in your life.

Mental Illness and Addiction rob us of our hopes and dreams. It touches all areas of our life, harming ourselves, our parents, partners, and children. At times life feels hopeless. Even the idea of change seems unattainable. To treat mental illness and addiction or substance use disorders you address a host of emotions, trauma, depression, anxiety, relationship conflict, life issues, and existential struggles. I have spent the last 17 years of my career helping individuals, couples, and families heal from mental illness and substance use disorders and making this moment a leaping off event to their next journey.

I'm currently accepting new clients for virtual or in-person care. I provide individual therapy for women and gender non-binary clients. My clients struggle with body image, relationship problems, or oftentimes a general sense of not feeling "good enough." Sometimes this shows up as anxiety in a romantic partnership, at work, or in the way they view their bodies.

I work with clients who may experience the following; struggle to take time to process how events have impacted them, need assistance with adjusting to a change in routine, struggle to understand their own self worth or identity, struggle with low self esteem/image, struggle with healthy relationships due to a lack of boundaries or poor communication skills, or are struggling with understanding and having a harmonious relationship with their spouse or family member.

I consider therapy a gift where you are able to detox from family pain and drama, remove the obstacles to your own growth and happiness -- and live the life you were meant to live. In our work together you will begin to know your self. Deep within each of us is the longing for happiness. Happiness does not depend on outer circumstances or how other people behave, it’s created with our innermost feelings and sense of well-being. My practice offers individual, couples and family sessions for all ages, with night and weekend appointments available. My office is located on the first floor of the beautiful Park Shelton building.

My experience ranges from empowering clients to learn how to cope with stress and anxiety, navigating relationship issues, unveiling trauma and abuse, as well as improving motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. I specialize in the exploration of the subconscious and spiritually integrative work, including unpacking plant medicine journeys post-ceremony.

Do you identify as a highly-sensitive-person (HSP)? Deep feeler + thinker? Recovering perfectionist ...people-pleaser ...performer? Worry you are both too much + not enough? Struggle in relationship to self + others over the years? Dealing with quarter-life to mid-life transitions & challenges? Everyday overwhelm? Who-Am-I issues? Feel stuck but also ready for change? Together, we will explore how your past effects your present & co-create new ways forward. My main philosophy is: You are already whole & already know what you need (yes, even right now, as you're reading this). Most of us need some help to do so.

Working from a feminist theoretical perspective, I feel that your unique voice deserves to be believed, be heard, and be taken seriously. I strive to create a trusted space in which you feel comfortable to work through your difficulties without fear of judgment or discrimination. I believe you will find me approachable, down to earth, and friendly!

I believe that therapy is an ongoing conversation spread out over a period of time where I, as your therapist, get to know you and try to understand what is creating difficulty in your life. My job is to help create a nonjudgmental and comforting relationship where we can begin to understand you - together. I genuinely care about those I work with, and I believe this curious and compassionate approach is ultimately what makes therapy worthwhile. By understanding you and your challenges, we can help you take steps to truly improve your life.
