Female Therapists in Detroit, MI

You're a helping or creative professional who needs help. You're pretty high functioning and your symptoms aren’t constant but they can be intense. You're scared that you're just fooling everyone since they have no idea how hard it's been for you. This has been going on for so long, it’s hard to even remember a time before it. You know one thing for sure though: you want to feel better. You’re ready to let go of the anxiety. You’re ready to have better ways to cope and react to your triggers. But most of all, you’re ready to actually move on and live a happy life.

También hablo Español! I work with adults who need to heal, let go of past traumas, and shed maladaptive coping mechanisms that came as a result of survival instinct to develop healthy skills to flourish in life. I focus on issues of anxiety, trauma, identity, & interpersonal relationships. I believe our emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual selves influence one another to create our personal experience. Thus I integrate cognitive-behavioral, mindfulness, and humanistic therapy, while focusing on each client's strengths to create a custom treatment plan.

I had the opportunity to encounter many individuals from all walks of life with many issues that seemingly disturbed their “PEACE”. Those encounters encouraged my counseling journey. My belief is that every individual should live a life of “PEACE”. I believe that “PEACE” is accomplished by combating issues that have disturbed one’s emotional, financial, physical, and spiritual health. My ultimate goal is to assist clients in exploring and processing their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, to improve their quality of life engulfed in “PEACE”.

During our lifetime, we have experiences that may cause us to unravel or become distracted from the course of life.

My purpose is to help adults, young adults, teens and children with their dreams in life, clear any blocks that are holding them back from living the lives they truly want, and help them learn how to live fully in the present.

Many of us are doing our best to live unburdened, stress-free, balanced lives, but life can be messy, challenging, and unexpected. If you feel you need help regaining clarity while you answer life's hardships and re-center yourself, I am here to assist you. Whether this is your first time seeking services or you're familiar with the process, treatment can help you address life concerns, explore hopes, and set goals that fit your needs. Everyone has a different life story, shaped by unique beliefs, behaviors, and experiences, that is why I utilize a person-focused, humanistic approach, centered on respecting your individuality.

At some point in our lives we all fall on hard times and face struggles that seem impossible to overcome and can leave us feeling lost. Allow me to help guide you towards the life that you want for yourself. My approach is person-centered, mindfulness-based and solution-focused, which means you lead the session and work towards goals that are meaningful to you. With 10+ yrs of experience in mental health and yoga therapy I’ll help you learn the skills you need to build and maintain your personal recovery. Therapy allows us to make a commitment not only to ourselves, but also to our loved ones. Maybe it’s time to take the first step.

I am a therapist dedicated to lightening the emotional burdens of anxiety, depression, and sleep issues. With my expertise in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), I bring an open, non-judgmental presence to every client relationship. What makes me unique is my trauma-informed perspective that acknowledges each person’s individual experiences. I will meet you where you are and adjust my methods to suit your needs and goals. My aim isn’t just short-term relief but equipping you with personalized tools so you can thrive long-term.

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.

You're a professional who feels like a fraud and is carrying around so much fear, shame, and hurt. Outwardly, you seem like you have it figured out but deep down you're struggling to get through the day. You're fed up with things feeling so hard and out of control all the time. You probably can’t even remember the last time everything didn’t feel so difficult. But one thing is for sure, you’re ready for relief. You’re ready to feel more confident, more energized, and to have some inner peace. But most of all you’re ready to feel like you have some control over your life again.

Do you feel overwhelmed by the challenges of life? Are you feeling stuck, disconnected, unsettled with life? Do you experience difficulty expressing your thoughts, feelings, or needs; or feel you have no one who you can talk to? I understand how life can sometimes challenge our ability to cope and, left unaddressed, create inner conflict and disrupt our joy. Whether you are experiencing personal struggles or distressing relationships, I can help. I have experience treating clients for trauma, anxiety, stress, depression, domestic violence, sexual trauma, family difficulties, anger management, and interpersonal conflict.

My counseling philosophy is difficult doesn't mean impossible. I believe counseling involves helping you move from your current state towards what you are capable of becoming. This can be accomplished through a counseling relationship that (1) is genuine and real (2) enables you to experience acceptance and care, and (3) helps you to feel understood.

I probably don’t need to tell you we’re living in a racist, sexist, heteronormative, capitalist dystopian nightmare in a slow and painful collapse. It’s hard to cope with that knowledge while dealing with day-to-day nonsense, on top of reliving past trauma on a regular basis. It’s a lot and it’s heavy and it sucks. Some people turn to substances and other vices to cope.

Are you dealing with anxiety, depression or simply feeling overwhelmed by life's demands? Welcome. My journey as a therapist started with my personal experience in therapy, which gave me invaluable insights. I'm here to provide the same hope and guidance that helped me during my tough times. My approach integrates empathy with practical, individualized solutions.

We all need a little help sometimes. Therapy is a great tool to have to overcome life’s tough times. Are you new to therapy? Or someone who has seen a therapist before? Regardless of your previous experiences with therapy, I offer everyone a safe, private and professional experience. Together we will address your concerns and then plan and execute change. As far back as I can remember, I have always been concerned with other people’s happiness. As a child I knew that one day I would have a career in a “helping profession”. My approach to therapy is a holistic one.

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.
