Everyone has times in their lives when stress seems overwhelming, when ways that we use to cope just aren't working anymore, or are even making the situation worse. Even more so coming out of a pandemic. You might be sad, anxious, hurting yourself or isolating and want to change. Counseling can help you to move forward at times when you feel stuck, can help you to develop new coping skills and tools to manage life's challenges, and rediscover the strength inside you. I provide an accepting, non-judgmental, confidential environment, and a safe place to explore your thoughts and feelings with a caring, compassionate listener.

I work individually and in groups with men/boys seeking support exploring how masculine socialization relates to their problems, and cultivating healthier masculinity to heal themselves, their interpersonal relationships, and patriarchal systems of gender-based oppression in their communities. I also work with a variety of clients of different backgrounds and experiences looking for a therapist with an anti-oppressive lens, who will regard the client as the expert on their life and experiences, and see their struggles in the integrated context of the personal, cultural, and universal levels of their human experience.

Being a parent in 2024 is no small feat. The cost of everything is going up. We are constantly under pressure to do more with less. Is it a wonder we are feeling stressed and overwhelmed? We must work harder to provide for our families financially, but also be flexible to be available for our children because the support needed for new parents often does not exist. We as parents are set up for failure, because these standards are near impossible to reach. If you feel like you are struggling with the challenges of being a parent Liz is here to help! Liz specializes in helping clients adjust to the struggles of being a parent.

Whether you are exploring your sexual/gender identity, have a specific relationship concern, or are going through a rough patch and not sure where to start, I would love to extend an invite to have you in my chair.

Everyone experiences trauma in one point in their life; no matter how big or small it may be. Often times, we may not know how trauma is impacting our life, until life gets too hard to manage alone. Whether it is experiencing constant reminders of the past, having a hard time trusting others or themselves again, or feeling overwhelmed by their own emotions. I hope to support those in their trauma healing journey, however that may look for each person.

Life comes with unanticipated twists and turns that can leave us confused, hurt and off balance. Effective therapy includes experience, empathy, non-judgment and the knowledge and tools to effectively navigate life’s difficult issues. It’s also about having genuine concern for you, the client, and your pain. I have over 27 years of experience in treating adults and adolescents suffering from anxiety and depression. I also have over 10 years of experience working with adolescents with learning difficulties and also in performing psychological evaluations for the Wayne County Courts. My experience also includes working with couples

I established my therapy practice to emphasize to you and whoever walks through my doors, that you are welcome here. So… Welcome! Sharing who you are with someone you have yet to meet takes a lot of courage and vulnerability. I have a lot of respect for those taking this, often challenging, step to seek therapeutic support. I view therapy as a space for us to collaborate and work together to understand and define the goals and changes you wish to see for yourself. Together we will explore thoughts, feelings and challenges so we can work towards the life you want to be living.

Life is full of transitions. Some are exciting. Some are scary. Some are both and more all rolled into one. It's important to have the best support you can for each set of transitions. I am here to support you while contemplating growing your family, during your pregnancy and the years to follow as you embark on your parenting journey. We all come to the table with our own history of experiences and being parented. This is the time many of us reflect on what we have experienced and the type of parent we want to be.

Life can be messy! It can be difficult to balance all of the challenges and expectations that we face on a day-to-day basis. Therapy can be a great space to sort through complex emotions, process difficult events or transitions, and explore coping strategies for dealing with life’s big moments. Most importantly, therapy is a great space to get to know yourself on a deeper level and create more opportunities for acceptance, change and growth. My goal is to create a safe, relaxed, (sometimes funny) and judgment free space for you to become the best version of yourself – even with the messy stuff.

I have experience working with women and children who are survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and human trafficking. I also have experience working with elementary school-aged children who have been diagnosed with ADHD and autism spectrum, as well as kids who struggle with impulse control, emotional regulation, mindfulness, and self-esteem. I would like to help you overcome the challenges you face.

Hope is not lost. It’s time to process and heal wounds. Life’s challenges can try to disrupt our wellbeing. Learing to think differently helps us live effectively. Gaining insight through the exploration of our thoughts, feelings, emotions, and behaviors assists with self discovery as well as building effective approaches to addressing life’s challenges and concerns. I have experience working with various populations in addressing depression, anxiety, life transitions, trauma, grief and loss, low self-esteem, and other issues.

While I am full, we have other therapists within the practice who have some availability. Sometimes life throws challenges at us and it is hard to know how to keep moving forward. I see myself as a collaborator in the messiness of life, coming alongside you to help maneuver through challenges and obstacles. I meet you exactly where you are, serving as a supportive person that helps you identify and accomplish your goals. I treat each client as a unique person and do not employ a one size fits all approach. I am direct and non-judgmental and see an equal amount of individuals and couples/groups.

Are you tired of dating the wrong person or being in a ‘roommate’ status romance or marriage? Relationships are not easy and being romantically involved with the right person takes work; self-work. Whether single or in a relationship, we can all benefit from discovering tools to better communicate our needs, build confidence, find our purpose in life, have a positive self-image and so on. As a therapist specializing in relationship issues, I focus on self-empowerment and self-awareness because settling for less than you deserve is not an option.

I have a passion for working with adolescent, young adult and adult individuals who need assistance with navigating life transitions, depression, anxiety, learning disabilities, and sexuality. Figuring out one's path can be difficult, however it is my mission to help clients along this journey. I have had experience in case management with homeless individuals as well as children in foster care, conducting Applied Behavior Analysis therapy with children on the spectrum, mentoring with students with disabilities and at-risk youth. I hope to provide an inclusive, welcoming, and caring environment to all.
