Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Bloomfield Hills, MI covered by Aetna

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 11 years of experience. I work primarily with teens, young adults and women who are struggling with anxiety, relationship challenges, life transitions, stress, low self-esteem, grief, or feeling stuck in unhelpful patterns. Seeking support can be difficult, and I recognize the courage it takes to begin therapy.

Good for you! You’re here because you’re having difficulty in a relationship; or struggling with depression or anxiety and have decided you’re tired of feeling stressed and want to be better able to cope. You deserve to live your life to the fullest and not allow new - or longstanding issues to keep you from reaching your full potential. I focus on building a trusting relationship which will allow you to explore the changes you want to make to improve the quality of your life. I have successfully helped many clients reach their full potential by engaging in therapy treating YOU as a person, and not a disorder.

Hello. I would describe myself as being kind, caring and full of positive energy. I have 8years of experience working with substance abuse. I have 10 years of experience working in the mental health field. I graduated with both my Bachelor's and Master's in Social Work from Wayne State University. I have experience working in schools with middle school and high school. My preference is to work with co-occurring disorders (mental health diagnosis and substance abuse diagnosis).

As a bilingual counselor who was born and raised in Panama and moved to the United States in 1992, I understand how culture, identity, and life transitions can shape a person’s emotional well-being. My own experiences, along with witnessing the personal and often isolating struggles within my community, inspired my commitment to helping people feel connected, supported, and empowered during challenging times.

I earned a master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling and Human Services from the University of Indiana in 2011. My counseling style is proactive, compassionate, collaborative, and comprehensive. I work with individuals from diverse ethnic and cultural backgrounds to better understand their experiences, identify meaningful goals, and develop practical strategies for moving forward.

In our sessions, you can expect a welcoming, nonjudgmental space where your voice, values, and goals guide the work. Together, we will build on your strengths and help you reclaim a greater sense of clarity, confidence, and control in your life.

I know reaching out for therapy can feel overwhelming, and finding the right fit matters. You don’t have to have everything figured out before starting. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, stress, feeling stuck, relationship challenges, life transitions, overwhelming emotions, or patterns that no longer feel helpful, therapy can be a place to slow down and better understand what’s going on.

I strive to create a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you feel comfortable showing up as yourself. Clients often describe me as compassionate, down to earth, and easy to talk to. Together, we’ll work to better understand what’s keeping you stuck, build practical tools, and create meaningful changes that feel realistic and aligned with your goals.

Hi there!

Are you struggling with depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, low self-esteem, motivation, or simply feeling that life has become too difficult? Perhaps you’re facing challenges related to race, culture, or gender—or wondering if things will ever get better.

You don’t have to stay stuck there. Sometimes, a different perspective can change so much.

Is it magic? Absolutely not. There are no quick fixes or empty promises. Instead, I offer honest conversation, practical support, and new ways of thinking—all from the comfort of your home through confidential telehealth counseling in a warm, judgment-free environment.

I am currently accepting new clients and am a Michigan Licensed Professional Counselor with nearly 30 years of experience in mental health and career counseling. I hold a B.S. from Central Michigan University, an M.A. in Counseling from Michigan State University, and an Ed.D. from Wayne State University.

I love helping clients evolve into their perception of their "ideal and/or best self"!
