Oppositional Defiance (ODD) Therapists in Rochester Hills, MI

I AM NOT CURRENTLY ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS. You're searching for a therapist to be of help to yourself or a loved one. Whether you hope to ease a problem such as anxiety, depression, relationship stress, substance abuse, or grief, or want to build a more satisfying life, finding the right professional to guide you is important. In my more than 30 years as a therapist, my clients have told me that my ability to help them develop new skills and insights, while connecting with them with compassion and humor, has helped them reach their goals.

I am a trauma and attachment trained therapist. My focus is families dealing with early childhood attachment and trauma due to foster care, international adoptions, or other significant traumatic childhood experiences. I also see adults that have suffered trauma and attachment during childhood.

It’s difficult to admit we don’t always like the person that stares back at us when we look in the mirror. Sometimes life can make you a shell of your former self. You may ask yourself, Am I a good friend, partner, parent, child, student, worker? The burden of trying to be everything for everyone can feel draining. For so long you have pretended to be okay. Maybe, at times you even believed you were okay. Therapy offers you the opportunity to explore past experiences while also focusing on your ideal future self. You don't have to do this alone. Allow me to help you experience life more abundantly.

Making the decision to schedule an appointment with a counselor takes a great deal of courage. Our therapists recognize that and work hard to make sure that you feel comfortable from the moment you walk in the door. Understanding that individuals have different schedules in their lives, we provide a variety of options in the morning, afternoon, evening, or weekends depending on your needs. Give yourself the gift of self-care and give us a call.

Caring and strength-based counseling allows families, kids, and parents to rediscover old strengths, learn and develop new ones, all of which make it possible to walk a different path, away from problems and towards new pleasures. I can help you experience greater mastery and back in control of your life. We can handle a lot, but sometimes one extra stressor or life-changing incident throws us off balance. Then we feel anger, anxiety, and/or depression. Adding insult to injury, these negative emotions further stress us out, making it harder to find solutions and regain our balance in life.

Overwhelm, burnout, wanting to be your best for the people you care about, and to show up and take care of yourself too, I see you. The heavy weight of parenting, the chaos of chronic trauma, the isolation of neurodivergence, the bumpy road of queerness. These paths aren't always easy but they're ours, and we can walk them together. I have been working with kids, teens, families, and individuals working their way through understanding their identities and traumas for the past 12 years.

The word "kairos" comes the Greek word meaning, "the opportune and decisive moment for change."

Adult counseling is needed to help in difficult life transitions, which may cause anxiety or depression.
