Behavioral Issues Therapists in Livonia, MI

Creating change in your life is hard work and asking for help is even harder when you've tried to do it alone. Having distress in one part of life can create waves in other parts. I believe that therapy can provide you with the tools and confidence to face these changes. Together we can work on those hard moments in life and turn them into opportunities for change and development. Working together to dispel those waves around you can create a more peaceful and fulfilling life.

Together we can take the journey to improve your emotional well-being, by looking deeper than the surface issues you are facing like anxiety, and improving your thoughts and actions.

You are here because you took the 1st step to tackle the deeper needs of your life. Let’s take the journey together to get to the other side of self-compassion, and a better outlook on what happiness means to you.

"The wound is the place where the light enters you"-Rumi. Sometimes our emotions or our wounds may seem unmanageable, too painful, and overwhelming. Recognizing and searching out help/support can be incredibly difficult, so for anyone who is struggling now, but has taken the first step to look for help I acknowledge how difficult that is. I have experience working with a wide range of clients. However my main focus is working with children and families, and persons who have experienced trauma, domestic violence, and sexual abuse.
