I want my clients to live their best life. I want them to be whole spiritually, mentally, emotionally, and physically. That's why I obtained a Master's degree in Social Work and for 40 years studied and mastered the concepts of the mind-body connection. I have been a Master Social Work Professional for over 30 years. I believe nothing that happens to us occurs in a vacuum. What manifests in our lives resulted from sustained thought and emotion then became physical and behavioral. Resolve the thoughts and emotions, change the behavior. Teaming with and standing for my clients through the therapeutic process, we decide together where to start and where to end, marking milestones along the way. To enhance the effectiveness of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, I whole-heartedly endorse the use of the Emotional Freedom Technique, or Tapping. It is a simple, energy-balancing technique endorsed by the American Psychological Association. Tapping makes change easier. My clients rediscover humor, fun, inner strength, confidence and self worth. You ready?

Greetings! I am a certified counselor who works with clients on issues such as communication, control, relationships with self and others, planning and decision-making, self-esteem, coping with changes, and substance abuse. I'm person-centered in my style . I respect my clients and they determine what topics we cover in therapy and how deeply they want to delve into their issues. No matter who you are or where you've been in life, you are important. Your thoughts, feelings and beliefs are valuable guides in the therapeutic process and I am here to help you and support you. I draw from treatment models such as strengths-based, solution focused lens where my clients and I work together to develop a treatment plan that accomplishes my clients goals. Through cognitive-behavioral therapy I assist clients in exploring relationships between, thoughts, feelings and behaviors. Through CBT, clients reveal the dysfunctional thoughts that lead to self-destructive behaviors and beliefs. I support clients as they try new communication styles, coping mechanisms, mindfulness work, and emotional regulation. Clients can practice how they address issues with loved ones in my presence and I will provide honest feeback. I live outside of Detroit, Michigan. My hobbies include cooking, yoga, traveling to new places, hiking with my husband and our two dogs. I've experienced many therapies and have had several therapists myself. I enjoy learning about myself and others. Finding the right therapist takes time and courage. With that being said, if you feel you are ready to take the next steps toward a life you enjoy, I am here to support you and walk alongside you celebrating your accomplishments and encouraging through the light and dark times. Change takes time and effort, but it is worth it. I check messages Monday-Thursday from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. EST and Saturdays from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. EST I will reply to you promptly.

I am a licensed professional mental health counselor with experience in both a private and community mental health setting. I am also a certified yoga instructor, using a trauma informed approach to teaching yoga. I believe treatment should involve the whole person (physical, mental, and spiritual). Personal and professional history includes great exposure to a diverse set of life experiences and clientele. My focus is a client centered approach to therapy to help each individual live their best life and I believe, at our core, we all have the needed answers to our life's problems. My job is not to change or fix you; my job as a therapist is to bring those answers to the surface.

I have been a social worker for 23 years. The majority of my career was spent in trauma and loss, foster care and special needs adoption. I have experience with young adults who have grown up in the foster care system, both those who were adopted and those who aged out of the system. I also have extensive experience in grief and loss issues following the loss of a loved one having counseled adults and children in that area. I am currently a full-time school social worker and have experience dealing with typical siblings of non-typical siblings and the issues this brings into a family, even after adulthood. I have experience helping couples deal with fertility issues, grief and loss, and the loss of a child. I have also worked with parents following the death of an older child, or an adult child who passed away. My background is varied, as are my beliefs and practice areas. I personally, am a person of faith, however come from a politically and societal liberal base. I think many of us fit into this, although it can feel very isolating in today's climate. I have successfully worked with adults of all faith, or no faith basis at all depending on what my client was most comfortable with. I have experience working with people of faith who have gone through divorce or blended family issues. I would say I am LGBTQ friendly, but would never pass myself on as an expert, much of my experience in this area with adults has been as a trusted friend or family member. My professional experience has been with kids and young adults. My practice tends to lean toward solution focused therapy. Where are you, and where would you like to be? What changes needed to be made to get there? What will it look like when we get there so we know we arrived? I enjoy helping clients identify their needs, goals and their strengths to help reach those goals.
