Family Therapy in Macomb, MI

In today's rapidly evolving world, the concepts of change, embracing challenges and need for compassion—especially in the context of mental health—are more relevant than ever. Change is an inevitable part of life, a force that can either propel us forward or leave us feeling lost. My ability to connect to my clients involves active listening, non-judgmental understanding and a commitment to genuinely helping them heal and grow. Feeling seen, heard and valued are essential elements for a strong therapeutic alliance that lead towards progress in the midst of challenges.

Do you find yourself worrying a lot? Feeling overwhelmed, helpless or unable to focus? Are you struggling with stress management, significant life changes or substance abuse? Perhaps you are not feeling like your usual self and want some objective support. You are not alone. No one grows or develops in a vacuum. You did not get to this point on your own. There is no reason that you need to get through it on your own either. Therapy can help. With the right therapist, you can learn to better cope with the inherent challenges in life. For many, I am that therapist.

As a therapist, the relationship I develop with clients is based on respect, support and encouragement, and is focused on building their individual strengths and resources. I believe that a nonjudgmental and welcoming environment is crucial to provide a safe space for clients discuss past and current issues and move forward. In addition to private practice, I also work as a bereavement specialist for a Michigan hospital system assisting individuals who have experienced major loss. My experience includes supporting individuals and families navigating significant health crises.

Today's world is too often scary and overwhelming. For many of us, learning to function & adapt in life as a child, teen or young adult is confusing & difficult. These challenges lead to feeling lonely, frustrated or hopeless. Through our work together, you will become confident in yourself, begin to not just 'get by', but thrive. You will begin to experience a life where being you is more than good enough. Unavoidable challenges become opportunities & you gain control of the most important area, yourself. Working together, you will become equipped to navigate day to day life & the unexpected, emerging stronger, smarter & happier.

Making change can be a difficult and challenging process. However, it is through this process that you can increase insight and find the inner strength to live more fully. Just as every individual is unique, so too, is the path to realizing your goals. It is from this understanding that I will tailor my approach to your individual needs. Whatever life struggles may bring you in, I will provide a warm, accepting environment for self-exploration, healing, and the development of coping skills to navigate life's obstacles.

I graduated in 2009 with my Master of Social Work from Wayne State University, with a concentration in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I have experience with children, families and adults with a number of diagnoses including anxiety, depression, Bipolar Disorder, trauma, borderline personality disorder, ADHD and Oppositional Defiant Disorder. I have a passion for children, teens, parents and adults and seek to provide a safe, non-judgemental space for people to learn and grow. I also have a strong area of passion for pregnant and postpartum moms! I am a mom just like you and I would love to connect and offer support!

Helping people realize and achieve their full potential is my passion.
