Psychodynamic Therapists in Huntington Woods, MI

I believe it is our nature to heal and as individuals facing adversity, we often need support from others. My goal in therapy is to partner with clients to foster a relationship based on trust and mutual respect that acts as a container for healing, resilience, and growth. It is my passion to empower others to better understand themselves and the world around them so they can show up more fully in their lives. We’ll do this together by exploring challenges and strengths, uncovering blind spots, and developing new strategies for leading a happier and healthier life.

For many people depression and anxiety, as well as other mental health problems can be difficult to treat successfully due to unresolved 'developmental trauma', or trauma related to the attachment type you had to your parent(s) / caregiver(s). I utilize psychodynamic psychotherapy and attachment theory which mainly deal with early connections, good or bad, with primary caretakers. I am also trained in many new treatments based on the latest understanding of brain science, that are effective in treating unresolved developmental trauma, depression, anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder.

I offer individual and couples therapy tailored to the needs of the unique people who walk through my door. With training and interest in working with patients across the lifespan coming from diverse backgrounds, I have special interest in working with emerging adults (older teens to 30's) and couples. I work well with patients struggling with life transitions, relationship issues, anger, depression, and anxiety. As a psychologist, I've learned through my training, research, and personal experience that there is no such thing as "one-size fits all" when it comes to therapy and change.

I am hear to listen to your concerns and worries in an empathic, caring, and non-judgmental manner, to give you my thoughtful observations, and to support your emotional strengths.

This is what you thought therapy was supposed to be like. I have nearly 30 years’ experience in dozens of settings and several states, but your story will always be unique to me. I specialize in child/parent relationships, anxiety and depression, substance abuse, trauma work, self harm behaviors, and I have training in CBT and DBT.

I have already seen the significant impact that EMDR can have for so many of my clients.

I have been in practice as a psychologist for many years and have helped adults presenting with different types of symptoms, issues and/or concerns. I treated individuals presenting with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, depression, anxiety, adjustment and relationship difficulties, to name a few. I taught psychology students in doctoral level programs about helping individuals traumatized by violence and/or by other traumatic events. I also taught students how to help individuals dealing with stress, anxiety and/or depression related to medical conditions.

Life is an ever-changing journey with so many pitfalls and struggles, it is hard to keep ahead. So many people find themselves struggling with low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, and other issues that keep us stuck in old patterns. Ideally, I am looking for people who want to make change, even if they feel resistant to the idea right now. Personally, I look to help those individuals who are at least contemplating growth, change, and coming out of the self-constructed safety box. We are not simply looking for the light, we are searching for the source within you. Simply put, people who want to be the favorite version on themselves.

As a child of immigrants, I understand the duality of living in a culture that is so very different from one’s own. These experiences help to shape my work with my clients, and I am able to provide various different lenses from which to consider common problems. Whether you are struggling with depression, anxiety, PTSD, familial problems, phase of life problems, or are looking to gain more insight into who you are, therapy can prove to be a useful tool to move towards healing.

I love working with clients who want to improve their lives, relationships, coping skills, health, and self-confidence, and need some guidance and support to make new decisions or gain new insights. Whether you are dealing with a significant challenge in your life, or you have issues from the past that keep holding you back, I can help. As your therapist, my goal is to assist and support you in life transitions, and in learning healthy coping skills and healthy communication skills so you can begin to feel empowered, hopeful and emotionally healthy.
