As a licensed therapist in Michigan with two decades of experience, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating life's complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on helping clients address stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, and personal growth. I bring a compassionate, culturally-informed approach to therapy, with particular expertise in supporting individuals through significant life transitions and healing from interpersonal challenges.
My professional background is deeply rooted in understanding the nuanced impacts of personal experiences, including issues related to prejudice, discrimination, and relationship dynamics. I am committed to creating a supportive, affirming therapeutic environment where clients can explore their emotions, develop resilience, and cultivate meaningful personal transformation.
Drawing from extensive clinical experience, I offer a warm, empathetic approach that honors each individual's unique journey. My goal is to provide thoughtful guidance that empowers clients to build stronger self-understanding, develop effective coping strategies, and move toward greater emotional well-being.
Additional areas of focus: Depression, Infidelity, Prejudice and discrimination
