Counselor in Detroit, MI

About My Clients

I am here to support you in building a life and relationships that are authentic and fulfilling. I know that therapy is a major investment of time, energy, and sometimes, finances, and that taking the step to start therapy can feel both hopeful and overwhelming. You might be navigating a difficult transition, feeling stuck in old patterns, or simply ready to invest in your own well-being. Whatever brought you here, please know that this space is one of non-judgmental acceptance and deep empathy.

My Background and Approach

I utilize an eclectic, integrated approach to tailor therapy for your unique needs. Drawing from various proven modalities like CBT, ACT, SFBT, and person-centered techniques, I create a flexible, evidence-based roadmap. This ensures you get the most effective tools for your specific challenges, promoting lasting growth and well-being. I'm passionate about helping couples build stronger connections. Leveraging my Gottman Method Level 2 training, I work with partners at any stage—whether facing significant struggles or simply looking for supportive guidance. I also offer pre-marital therapy, and focus on equipping couples with concrete, easily applicable tools that can be used every day to create healthier relationships. My goal is always to equip my clients with concrete, practical tools that you can immediately adapt and incorporate into your daily life for healthier relationships and greater personal clarity.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe in the limitless capacity for human growth and change at every stage of life. I see mental health challenges not as fixed states, but as a result of unhealthy, learned behaviors that can be unlearned and replaced with healthy ones. I am committed to non-discrimination and support for the LGBTQ+ and BLM communities. P.S. The Detroit Lions are the best team in the NFL—a minor, but undeniable, personal truth. Reach out if you want to explore how we can apply these beliefs to your growth.
