Rational Emotive Behavior (REBT) Therapists in Southfield, MI

Honestly, life sometimes deals us a hand we don't think is fair, and it doesn't matter how old we are. This proverbial hand may appear in our infancy, early childhood, teenage years, young adult years, middle age or golden years; and sometimes hand after hand they may last a lifetime. These hands may appear at home, school or work and involve a variety of other systems/institutions: foster care, residential, hospitalization, or correctional, all of which separates families. The optimum outcome it seems would be healing from the trauma; peace, acceptance, some understanding and effective coping skills at last.

I have a B.S in Business Management and a M.A in Rehabilitation Counseling. As a counselor it is my goal to help those who are having difficulty maneuvering through mental & emotional challenges.

My goal is to create an environment where you feel safe to disclose and discuss your personal challenges without the fear of judgement, ridicule, or embarrassment. My team of public safety insiders and I also have a keen understanding of the public safety culture.
