I’m a Clinical Therapist with 18 years of experience, helping people work through some of life’s hardest moments. I earned my Master’s degree in Clinical Social Work from Michigan State University, and throughout my career I’ve had the opportunity to work with people from many different backgrounds and walks of life.

I’ve worked with individuals struggling with substance use and recovery, depression, anxiety, stress, ADHD, trauma, relationship challenges, life transitions, and many other issues. Over the years, I’ve learned that therapy isn’t about having all the answers or being told what you should do. Life is complicated, and sometimes we simply get stuck. We can know what we want to change but still have a hard time figuring out where to start.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right addiction counselor for you

Headway makes it easier to find support for overcoming addiction — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Detroit

Finding addiction therapists in Detroit starts with understanding the kind of support that fits your needs. Addiction care can include support for alcohol use, drug use, substance use recovery, relapse prevention, and behavioral concerns. Some therapists use approaches like motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, and harm reduction-informed care. You may also want a therapist who can coordinate with a prescriber or addiction consultant if medication management is part of your care plan.

Detroit offers a range of therapy options across neighborhoods and nearby communities, and virtual appointments can expand your choices if office location, commute, or scheduling matters. Recovery is often not a straight path, so it can help to look for a therapist who describes a clear, respectful approach to addiction care and has experience with harm reduction frameworks. As you compare profiles, review whether the therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that fit your calendar, and lists experience with the specific concerns you want to address.

Addiction therapy in Detroit can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. Headway helps you search for Detroit therapists who focus on addiction, review detailed bios, check insurance fit, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you or someone you know is experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms — especially from alcohol or benzodiazepines — talk to a medical provider or seek emergency care before starting outpatient therapy. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction or substance use and is in a crisis, immediately reach out to:

* 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — call or text 988 * SAMHSA National Helpline — 1-800-662-HELP (4357), free, confidential, 24/7 * Crisis Text Line — text HOME to 741741
