A Master-level Social Worker, and clinical mental health and substance abuse therapist, with special certification from The Michigan Psychoanalytic Institute’s Advanced Training in Adult Psychodynamic Psychotherapy Program, and honorably discharged 1LT Behavioral Health Science Officer of the Michigan National Guard. People are more than a mere diagnosis or behavior. They are a vast sum of their mind, body and spirit, of memories, heredity, beliefs, environment, experiences, emotions, strengths, weaknesses, fears, hopes, dreams and desires, successes and failures. This sum of body, mind and spirit combines to form the root system of either growth and progress or toxicity and stagnation in the present. I aim to provide a gateway to self-awareness, sobriety, empowerment, freedom from addiction and a kaleidoscope of mental illnesses. I won’t pathologize you, but instead seek to understand you from a multi-faceted lens to help you better achieve your goals and improve the quality of your life. I am interested in you, and in raising you to your highest standard, in helping you overcome your pain, grief, addiction, fear or sense of powerlessness. I often learn just as much from my patients as they learn about themselves throughout the therapeutic process. I am human and prone to err; however, I am not above learning unfamiliar concepts, ideologies, philosophies, practices or preferences. I am committed to educating myself on any sphere of identity which my patients hold as valuable in order to enrich the therapeutic alliance and foster a deeper sense of rapport. In order to truly help another, I believe, strongly, it is the principal job of the therapist to take the time and rigor to truly understand the patient's world, perspective, value system and belief structure. This is integral to the treatment process.

Hi, I’m so glad you’re here! I’m a trauma therapist who specializes in working with people who have lived through complex trauma — including childhood emotional neglect, narcissistic abuse, and family of origin wounds that still echo in the present. If you’re carrying the invisible weight of C-PTSD, if you're someone who’s always had to be strong, hyper-aware, or perform to survive — you are not alone, and you don’t have to keep doing this by yourself. I have a deep passion for supporting LGBTQIA+ and non-binary folks in healing spaces. Many of my clients come to me navigating identity, safety, and belonging, while also untangling the painful dynamics of being unseen, misgendered, or emotionally exiled in their families. Together, we create a space where all of you gets to exist — your grief, your anger, your brilliance, your queerness, your softness, your power. My approach is warm, intuitive, trauma-informed, and yes — I bring humor into the room. Because healing can be hard — but it doesn’t have to be humorless. Laughter can be medicine, especially when it helps you feel safe, human, and connected. We can hold the heaviness and still find moments of lightness. Whether we’re working with dissociation, people-pleasing, or that inner critic who just won’t quit — I honor all the parts of you that showed up to survive. Through relational work, parts exploration, and somatic tools like Brainspotting, we’ll work together to help you reconnect with your body, reclaim your voice, and live from a place that finally feels like you. This work is sacred to me. I believe in your capacity to heal, not because I’ve read it in a book, but because I’ve witnessed it — again and again — in people who thought they were “too damaged,” “too much,” or “too far gone.” You’re not too much. You’re not broken. You’re becoming. Let’s find your way home — to yourself (and maybe even laugh a little along the way). If you’re someone who feels like you have to stay quiet about your beliefs—especially if you live in a Blue state and feel like you're constantly walking on eggshells—I want you to know this is a safe space for you. Whether you voted for Trump, Biden, or anyone else, you are welcome here. This space is for those who’ve felt judged, silenced, disowned, or even abandoned by friends or family over political differences. It’s for those who’ve felt like they no longer belong, simply for having a different perspective. If you’ve served or are currently serving our country—as a veteran, active military, correctional officer, firefighter, police officer, doctor, nurse, paramedic, therapist, teacher, or first responder—this space is for you too. No matter your background, beliefs, or profession—you are welcome here. I believe therapy works best when both the client and therapist are aligned in needs, goals, and working style. My practice is rooted in Brainspotting and trauma-informed care, and because of that focus, there are certain areas I don’t specialize in. I’m not the right fit for those seeking support for anxiety disorders, OCD, addiction of any kind, or parenting-related issues. I also don’t work with individuals who are currently struggling to self-regulate in a consistent way. I’m not trained to support stress management, adult autism or ADHD, medical trauma or complications from surgery, or terminal illness adjustment. Additionally, I’m not the best fit for those navigating psychosis, a schizophrenia diagnosis, or those who are court-ordered or being pressured into therapy. If you’ve recently discovered you were adopted, are navigating agoraphobia, or are looking for support with bipolar disorder, I may not be the best match. In terms of approach, I’m a gentle, warm, and fluid therapist. If you’re looking for someone who is highly directive or aligned with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) or brief, solution-focused work, you may find a better fit elsewhere—and that’s okay. Not every therapist is for every person, and I fully support you in finding someone who feels right for you. If your needs fall outside of my scope, I’m always happy to help guide you toward another provider who may be a better fit. My priority is that you receive the support that truly meets you where you are.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs) about licensed therapists and mental health services

Some other commonly asked questions on therapy with a licensed counselor and BetterHelp serving the Southfield area can be found below:

How does the cost of an in-person therapist compare to BetterHelp?

The average price of an in-person therapy session in the US with most therapists is $100 to $200 per hour. These prices may be higher in Southfield due to a higher cost of living, and a limited number of therapists taking new clients. The price also depends on the type of provider you are looking for. See the following average prices for various mental health providers without insurance:

  • With a psychiatrist: $150-$500
  • With therapists: $100-300
  • With a clinician: $100

While many psychologists in Southfield may not take health insurance, some in the state of Michigan may work on a sliding scale, meaning they'll factor in your income and charge what you can afford per session. With a BetterHelp therapist throughout the state of Michigan you can expect significantly more affordable options, with sessions ranging from $65 to $100 per week (billed every four weeks).

Is BetterHelp right for me?

One of the potentially rewarding aspects of working with a therapist is the validation and active listening they can provide. Your friends and loved ones may also be available to listen, but you may feel that they may lack the skills to provide objective guidance. Counselors are trained to respond to various concerns, symptoms, and mental health conditions.

Therapists in your city can support you toward a healthier emotional state, regardless of your mental health, life concerns, or healing needs. While supporting individuals in developing healthier habits, another good benefit of therapy in Southfield is having an understanding, safe space with a non-judgmental party who can support you through challenging experiences.

Should I find a Southfield therapist or psychologist for therapy if I feel fine?

Some simply don't feel the need to see a psychologist. However, some people may avoid attending therapy due to stigma or preconceived notions of what it might entail. Although psychologists often support people with mental health conditions, you do not need a diagnosis or specific condition. You can discuss grief, relationship concerns, stress, or life changes and ask for general feedback. A Southfield licensed clinical social worker may help you gain power over your life and emotions while you navigate day-to-day experiences.

Gaining a new perspective on yourself through various therapies might allow you to improve your self-esteem, work through relationships, and gain a better sense of your mental health goals. The success you may find with a counselor can be dependent on your process.

Is therapy worth it?

Therapy with a licensed counselor is effective and has the power to change individuals' lives. Each client is at a different stage of their emotional healing journey in life, as each human can be unique in their personality, expression, skills, and goals. An experienced clinician can target various symptoms, experiences, and personalities to help you feel your best and put you on the path to healing. Unlike advice from a friend, family, or non-professional, a mental health therapist has an understanding of various disorders like ADHD and depression with many hours of experience in treating adults in their practice.

Over 41 million adults in the US attend therapy services each year, showing it's a popular option and is proven to be effective.
