As a fully licensed mental health therapist, I believe self-awareness and meaningful connections are essential to finding happiness and stability in life.

As a board certified psychotherapist, I believe prioritizing mental health is key to happiness and stability in life.

I work with issues of anxiety, depression, mood disorders, relationships problems, ADH-D, Autism and learning disabilities.
My journey stems from my own story of resilience in the face of hardships. I became a therapist because I have always wanted to help people through some of their darkest hours. Being exposed to some dark hours myself, I know that it is difficult to do it alone. When you have someone to confide in, assist you through the hard times, and just let you know that you are not alone, makes a difference.
My therapeutic approach includes CBT, Person-Centered Therapy, Relational Therapy, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, SFT, EFT, IFS, and just speaking like a human being. I offer a compassionate, trauma-informed space where you can feel safe, seen, and supported. My approach is relational and personalized—we'll explore your story together, build coping tools, and move toward healing with curiosity, courage, and care.
Therapy with me is real, down-to-earth, and never boring. I mix honesty, humor, and heart to make the process comfortable. I help adults manage emotions, build confidence, and tackle life's challenges with tools that work. Think of it as a safe space to be yourself, grow, and maybe laugh along the way.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an LGBTQIA Therapist in Detroit, MI
Finding LGBTQIA+ therapists in Detroit starts with identifying care that is explicitly affirming of your identity, relationships, and lived experience. Affirmative therapy, gender-diverse experience, and training related to LGBTQIA+ mental health can be useful signals when reviewing therapist profiles. You may also want to look for experience with concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, identity-related stress, and relationship challenges. A therapist’s listed specialties, approach, and bio can help you see whether their background matches what you want from care.
Detroit has therapists across neighborhoods like Midtown, Corktown, Downtown, and nearby communities such as Ferndale, but affirming therapists may be more limited depending on your schedule, insurance, and preferred appointment type. Virtual therapy can expand your options if you want to search beyond a nearby office or need more flexibility. As you compare therapists, look at appointment availability, whether they offer a free phone consultation, and how clearly they describe working with LGBTQIA+ people. Bios that name affirmative therapy, LGBTQIA+ populations, or specific identity experience can give you more useful fit signals before booking.
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 compare LGBTQIA+-affirming therapists who are accepting new patients, review detailed bios, check insurance coverage, and book directly when you’re ready.
