Prenatal and postpartum therapists & psychiatrists in Detroit, MI

Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming, and I’m glad you’re here. As a licensed clinical social worker, my goal is to provide a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you feel comfortable sharing your thoughts, emotions, and experiences at your own pace. I believe meaningful change begins when you feel truly heard, understood, and supported.

I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, eating disorders, life transitions, trauma, OCD, and other emotional challenges. Every person’s journey is unique, so I tailor therapy to your individual needs, strengths, and goals rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach.

My clinical experience spans a variety of settings, where I’ve had the privilege of helping individuals from diverse backgrounds navigate life’s challenges. I use evidence-based approaches to help you gain insight, develop healthy coping skills, and create meaningful, lasting change.

Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply ready to invest in yourself, I’m here to support you every step of the way. Together, we’ll work toward helping you feel more confident, balanced, and empowered in your everyday life

I'll try to summarize quickly so you don't have to scan far.

Not every therapist is for everyone. Fit matters more than anything, and you deserve a connection that feels safe and open. With my clients I try to be real and honest, while maintaining empathy, presence and humor. We can go slow, laugh, cry, and move at your pace.

We might fit well if: You're anxious or struggling to cope with the state of the world. You've experienced loss/grief. You're working on relationships and boundaries. You're trying to "be you" in a world that doesn't support. You're feeling challenged parenting, partnering, and "doing it all". Newness is hard.

Therapy should feel like a space where you can finally exhale. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I help individuals navigate anxiety, trauma, and mood disorders. I assist couples and families with communication and relationship challenges. I do this rooted in honesty, compassion, and practical support.
