I work with mothers who are overwhelmed, burnt-out, or tired of juggling it all. For some, the intensity of motherhood brings up difficult emotions or unprocessed parts of their past. Others feel lost under the burden of care-taking and managing the mental load. With compassion and skill, we’ll tend to the parts of you that have been neglected. We’ll develop strategies for prioritizing your needs. We’ll make space for your brilliant light to shine once again!
I listen, provide empathy in a way to make you feel empowered without judgement or negativity.
I earned my bachelors degree in Communicative Sciences and Disorders and my Master of Social Work degrees from Michigan State University and am a Licensed Master of Social Work (LMSW). I also hold a certification in working with combat veterans, providing specialized training in understanding military culture, combat-related trauma, moral injury, reintegration, and the unique experiences that can continue long after service ends. This has also aided me in expanding my practice from veterans and active-duty service members to law enforcement officers, firefighters, EMS, and other first responders. Other areas in which I specialize are with individuals working through anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, life transitions, relationship concerns, and other mental health challenges.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor in Illinois and Michigan, I believe that therapy is your space, shaped by what you need right now.
With 13+ years of experience in community mental health, residential treatment, and inpatient psychiatry, I provide therapy and parent coaching to:
- Children (5 years and older) & Families
- Young Adults & Adults
- Parents & Caregivers
I work alongside individuals navigating hard moments—especially those who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or powerless. Often, the people I work with are themselves experiencing or have a loved one impacted by:
- major life stress or conflict at home or school/work
- trauma
- grief and loss
- depression
- anxiety
- psychosis
- mania
- substance use
You are the expert on your own life and your own healing. My role is to meet you where you are and walk with you on your path, sometimes guiding, sometimes following, but mostly walking side-by-side.
I have served OH and MI areas for over 2 decades. Once specializing in children, now I enjoy working with preteens, teens, and adults who can participate more actively in their treatment. I started specializing in trauma in 2016 after I completed extensive training.
I am intuitive and open minded. I believe it is important for the client to be safe and comfortable to share the good and the bad. If you feel an approach is not working feel free to be honest about this in session so we can discuss options to get past stuck points.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Postpartum Therapist in Detroit
Finding postpartum therapists in Detroit starts with looking for care that matches your specific needs after pregnancy or birth. Postpartum concerns can include more than depression, such as postpartum anxiety, birth-related stress, identity shifts, sleep-related strain, and relationship changes. As you compare therapists, look for experience in pregnancy therapy, therapy for new moms, therapy for new parents, or perinatal mental health counseling. Some therapists also list specialized training, such as a perinatal mental health certification (PMH-C), which can signal deeper experience in maternal mental health therapy.
In Detroit, the right therapist also needs to fit your schedule, location, and care preferences. Local offices may work well if you prefer in-person care near home, work, or a regular commute. Virtual appointments can expand access to postpartum therapists across Michigan and may be practical for new parents managing infant care, physical recovery, or changing routines. Before booking, review each therapist’s bio for their approach, appointment availability, session structure, and whether they offer a free phone consultation.
Therapy in Detroit can be a significant investment without insurance, and using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, are accepting new patients, and offer upfront cost estimates after you enter your insurance details. You can compare postpartum therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
