Addiction therapists & psychiatrists in Southfield, MI

I began my career working with children and quickly expanded my expertise to include adults and couples. Throughout my 26 years as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I have seen the incredible power of the human spirit to overcome trauma and unexpected life struggles. Watching my clients transition from "surviving" to "thriving" remains the most inspiring part of my work.

Taking the first step into therapy can feel daunting, but you don't have to navigate life’s challenges alone. I am a dedicated therapist specializing in helping individuals heal from trauma, manage panic disorders, navigate complex relationship dynamics, explore identity, and work through alcohol and substance use challenges. My practice is deeply rooted in supporting people through anxiety, depression, anger management, stress, and family conflicts, with a special focus on maternal mental health, pre-partum, and postpartum care. Whether you are dealing with deep-seated struggles like PTSD or simply feeling overwhelmed by daily life, my goal is to provide a compassionate, inclusive, and deeply human environment where you feel truly seen, heard, and understood.

I began my professional career working with children and families in the judicial system, foster care and adoption. From there I transitioned to working with children and families with severe emotional challenges and adults with serious mental illness. Working in the community mental health system has provided me the opportunity to receive extensive training in mental health disorders and evidence based practices suited to treatment. It has also provided me the competency skills necessary to work with people from diverse backgrounds. Throughout my professional career, my commitment to helping others succeed lead me into leadership. While in leadership, I have helped to coach and develop other professionals to achieve their professional development goals.

I’m an easygoing, approachable therapist and a good listener. I want you to feel comfortable sharing your story and talking openly about what brought you to therapy. I’m interested in understanding your goals, where you want your life to go, and what changes you would like to make.

I also believe that understanding where we’ve come from can help us better understand where we are today. Our life experiences can shape the way we think, make decisions, and approach relationships and challenges. By exploring those experiences together, we can begin to understand what may be holding you back and identify healthier ways to move forward.
