Priority Health Therapists in Northville, MI

We all need a safe space to share our inner thoughts, examine our current behaviors, and seek out our truest selves. We all deserve someone that helps you feel safe and understood. Collaboration and partnership are key to a successful therapeutic relationship. My approach is non judgmental and client centered. Whether you are looking for support in life, dealing with loss, difficult times, or facing a variety of obstacles, I am here to help guide you through. You are the expert on your life, the goal is to help you live the life you envision.

Whether you are working to manage anxiety or depression, navigating difficult conversations with a partner, boss, or loved one, struggling with addiction, or processing emotions related to any of these and more, it is not something you need to do alone; I would love to be there to support you.

Counseling is about the relationship. It is not the counseling technique employed by the therapist that matters as much as it is about the connection between the client and the counselor. It is my intent to help you feel comfortable sharing your struggles, desires, and goals while I strive to provide you with a safe and calming environment to create a relationship that allows for trust and growth.

Therapy offers a unique opportunity for personal growth, and the therapeutic relationship can be a powerful catalyst for this change. Past traumas can leave lasting scars, making it difficult to feel safe and connected. I am committed to providing an empathetic and safe space where you can gently explore these experiences, develop healthy ways to process them, and create a path towards healing. We all have unique experiences, yet the emotions they leave behind—fear, anger, even numbness—are universally felt and understood. Growth and understanding are within your reach, and it all starts with you.

As a clinical therapist, my focus is on providing a safe and nonjudgmental space for individuals who are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship issues.

I believe in a holistic approach to therapy, incorporating mindfulness techniques, cognitive-behavioral strategies, and psychodynamic principles to help clients gain insight and develop coping skills.

Everyone deserves this chance to better themselves and relieve the burden that mental health issues can bring to our daily lives. There are many reasons people seek therapy. There could be feelings of nervousness or sadness, or an urge to finally get what's bothering you off your chest. No matter what it is, therapy brings out the best in you, and may surprise you. I've interacted with many clients who come in for one problem, and then discover hidden pieces of themselves.

Sometimes we experience things in life that change us, change how we feel and how we view the world and we have no idea how to cope with those changes. Maybe you're trying to get back to "you," or maybe you're trying to reinvent yourself. Whatever the reason that brought you here, making the decision to begin healing and improve your mental health is a big step. As your therapist, I don't take the responsibility of helping you on this journey lightly.

"Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning to dance in the rain" - Anonymous. My therapy style is warm and compassionate as I work with clients who desire to not just cope with life, but to thrive. My goal is to help you achieve and live the life you want and deserve, and I do this by helping you remove the blocks of personal growth, improve relationships with yourself and others, and find relief from your struggles. I use a diverse set of therapy "techniques" but mostly prefer to base our therapy on your specific needs.

"Will life ever feel easy again?" You can't help but wonder, as all of those memories you try to keep in the dark sabotage you once more. You try to smile and move forward, to keep the past in the past. Unfortunately, the pain of what happened always returns. In spite of it all, your courage to move towards healing is there- you just don't know how to begin. You need someone that knows how this darkness feels to help you figure this out. Someone who can help unravel all these burdens in your heart and give you back your confidence. Because deep down you’re worth more than this. You've always been worth more than this.

I will never forget that terrible feeling that engulfed me. I was 19 years old and struggling just to catch my breath. I couldn't focus on anything but the sheer panic. I was having my first panic attack. It was a trusted therapist who came to my rescue. My therapist turned out to be a lighthouse for me when I was lost. With compassionate guidance she helped me heal and rid myself of the anxiety and panic. I valued what she did so much that it became my goal to also be that lighthouse for others who are drowning.
