Therapists in Romulus, MI

Change may not be easy, however, you don't have to take part in that journey alone. I work with kids, teens, adults, parents, and couples seeking change. Suffering is a normal part of being a human, and human suffering can affect relationships, work, parenting, communication, ability to care for oneself, and more. Learning skills to help with emotions, increase motivation, and stress management can make a world of difference in your life. I would be honored to take part in that journey with you! Not currently accepting adult clients for trauma treatment.

I know how difficult it is to reach out. Congratulations on your first step. If you are struggling with issues of anxiety, depression, feeling stressed or overwhelmed please reach out.

I enjoy working with individuals of all ages including, children, adolescents, and adults. I work diligently to make sure that I treat others with dignity and respect at all times. I will do my best to ensure that you and your family feel comfortable by establishing a therapeutic rapport early during your time in therapy.

Early childhood is a dynamic and transitional time that can feel simultaneously joyous and chaotic (for both the child and the parent!). Children sometimes experience a myriad of big feelings that feel difficult to cope with - here at Rise, we aim to provide support, skills, and resources to help you and your child navigate the challenges. We have three new-to-us therapists who are accepting new clients in January. We recognize the shortage of mental health professionals for young children and parents and are so happy to fill the gap!

I love working with children and families. I want to have clear communication with guardians while also creating a safe space that allows children to express themselves with a degree of age-appropriate privacy. I work with children to identify their emotions, learn their emotional triggers, and build a toolkit of coping skills. I also work with you as guardian to build plans of action at home and provide psychoeducation that is research backed so that you feel informed and confident in your parenting. I also recognize that as your family grows and changes you may find it helpful to reach out for support for yourself.

Many of us experience problems in living from time to time, as we manage our intimate relationships, careers, children, financial burdens etc…. Often times, these problems can lead to feeling poorly about oneself or even to feelings of hopelessness or helplessness. Sometimes, these problems reach a magnitude where our level of distress or ability to function is affected. At these times, it can be very helpful to talk to a professional who can provide insight, support and perspective on these difficult issues. Although your issues may seem unmanageable to you now, with the right help, these problems can be overcome.

We all have times in which we seek an outside person to help give us perspective and provide support as we find our way.

Throughout life, it is possible to find ourselves on a journey we believe is impossible to complete. Through therapy, we learn that no journey is impossible; however sometimes we must detour...delay...revisit...or speed up! This analogy speaks to the true essence of therapy, helping others to navigate obstacles that present themselves along their journey. I will partner with you to find your path to a healthy existence despite any detours you encounter.
