Therapists in Michigan

I practice from an insight oriented, relational, and multicultural approach tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual I work with. My priority as a therapist is to create a warm, collaborative, non-judgmental space where you can work through your concerns and make the changes in your life you desire. People seek therapy for a number of reasons, perhaps to alleviate symptoms or distress, improve self-esteem, or address relationship issues. In my experience, symptoms often “mark the spot” of a deeper theme you may be grappling with and I aim to assist you uncover what the root of your concerns may be.

My greatest passion in life is helping people. I am committed to my clients and care deeply about helping them achieve positive outcomes through therapy. My therapeutic style is warm, unconditionally accepting, and supportive. I view therapy as a collaborative process and strive to tailor treatment to reflect those goals most important to you.

Thank you for choosing to visit my page. I am a fully licensed psychologist and social worker. I enjoy working with individuals who are open to change and willing to do the difficult emotional work that often needs to be done to effect that change. Most importantly, for therapy to be successful, I believe that you must feel comfortable with me as your therapist. The fit needs to be a good one! Please feel free to contact me to see if you might be interested in us working together.

Individuals are unique and view the world in relation to their personal experience. Hence, treatment must be tailored to individual goals and needs. We are the authors of our lives. Along our journey, we add chapters to our life's narrative. All individuals face struggle and uncertainty in life that affects their health. Although we are unable to erase the past we can recreate our story by evaluating experiences and changing our perceptions. Consequently, we can author additional chapters to our life's narrative.

I work with adults, adolescents, couples, families, and children. I use a variety of therapeutic approaches uniquely catered to each client and based on a treatment plan that we develop together. I do not believe that each therapist is automatically the best person for every client that walks through their door, but that the client needs to "click" with the therapist they work with so they have room to do the work they need to do. The possibility for change is powerful and the therapeutic process is often a catalyst and a supportive environment for change.
