Parenting Therapists in Rochester Hills, MI

In this increasingly complex world in which we live, taking responsibility for our thoughts, actions, and interactions with others can be challenging. The ability to understand and "own" our choices can reveal the possibilities for making necessary and desired changes in our lives. I can help you understand and recognize those choices. We will take a look at all the factors that have influenced your life experiences to this point. Working together, we can set goals, develop strategies for changing negative thought patterns, and implement new behavioral skills, all within a Christian faith-based context.

I am a warm and compassionate therapist specializing in treating adolescents, adults and families. My approach centers around providing a calm and comfortable environment which help clients to feel safe, understood and supported. This presents an ideal setting in which positive change can occur.

You wake up in the morning and wonder if today is the day you'll be exposed and your mask fill fall off. You're twisting and turning on the inside. Everything inside you hurts. Your head is spinning with thoughts of what your life should be like. The voice's inside your head keep telling you you're a failure as a person, as a partner, and as a parent. You feel the the "weight of the world" pushing down on you. You're tired. You're tired of being tired. You are ready to reclaim your life. You are ready to make a change.

Life challenges can be overwhelming at times. I strive to assist individuals, couples and families in achieving emotionally healthy lives and reaching their specific life goals. I have a master degree in social work with a post graduate in Marriage and Couples therapy and a Ph.D in Clinical Psychology.

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.

My mission is to support the exploration and the search for the client's own skills, abilities, goals and purpose with a genuine, unconditional regard. In a non-directive way, I am here to support exploration, growth, discovery, strength, self-care and to encourage people's realization of their unlimited options to gain back control over their own lives.

Are you feeling as though you have no one to talk to or no one who is willing to listen to your concerns and frustrations as well as your successes? Listening is one of the most effective ways one can demonstrate empathy to others. I am here to be that someone and to help guide you to be the best version of yourself. I have worked with many diagnoses including Anxiety, Depression, Suicidal Ideation, Trauma, ADHD, and Personality Disorders. I am here to provide a neutral and safe space for my clients.

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.

I am focused on helping individuals who may be going through a difficult time period in their life and are currently struggling with depression, adjustment issues, life transitions, divorce, parenting struggles, anxiety, grief and loss, recurrent relationships difficulties, family problems, body image, and overall feeling of hopelessness.

We are all on a journey towards improved health and wholeness, but the road to healing can often be difficult to navigate. Life challenges can result in feelings of anger, depression, anxiety, and loss of control. Often times we might experience physical symptoms as a result of ongoing stress as well. These same struggles, however, can be opportunities for growth. Our counseling professionals will walk with you on your journey of self-discovery, and together we will uncover your unique strengths, develop coping skills, increase self-confidence, and work toward restoring balance in your life.

A call for therapy is placed because some area of life is just not working. As a psychologist, my focus is on assisting each individual, couple or family in working towards and reaching the goals that brought them in. Together, we identify the nature of the challenges being faced and work together to get life back on track. I practice as a family psychologist, working with whomever comes into my office. Each one of us is part of a bigger circle and thus the work also focuses on those with whom the person works or lives, as relevant.

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.

Coming to therapy can be terrifying. I strive to create a warm office environment that feels relaxed and safe. The relationship between therapist and client must first feel comfortable so we can build trust and respect for one another. I approach each client as a unique individual and try to find holistic solutions for problems. Let's work together to figure out a plan that works for your life and your family.

With over 30 years of experience, I am a seasoned practitioner who works effectively with a wide range of clients. My work is based on my view of people as embedded in multiple contextual relationships (family, work, school, friends, etc) any of which can be out of balance.

I can help you gain a better understanding of your personal contexts and help you achieve greater balance, stability and happiness. My practice includes work with adults, adolescents, children, couple and families.
