Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in Dearborn, MI

Clients should know that I bring warmth, empathy, and a genuine commitment to their growth. I create a safe and supportive environment where their voices are valued, and their goals are prioritized. With encouragement and guidance, I help clients navigate challenges and celebrate meaningful progress along their journey.

Are you finding it hard to navigate everyday life? Are your relationships suffering? If you answered “yes” to these questions, please know you CAN live a different life. Relationship issues, trauma, grief/loss, anxiety, depression, and many other problems are challenging, to say the least. Therapy provides a safe space to explore your thoughts and feelings, learn coping strategies, and improve your relationships. You do not have to go it alone when therapy is available.

I specialize in the treatment of trauma. I also find gratitude to helping others navigate depression, anxiety, PTSD, communication, relationship issues, and family issues. I am EMDR trained.

If you are someone struggling with the above, or you are looking to manage stress in other areas of your life I am here to help!

Hi! You've taken the first step. Now you need to choose one among so many passionate and capable clinicians being presented to you... and it can feel daunting. For me and my ADHD brain, trying to pick a new therapist is akin to standing in front of the cereal aisle trying to decide which one is the best for me (so many choices!!).

I am a new licensed therapist but I am not new to counseling. I have spent the last 9 years as a Hospice Social Worker. I found tremendous meaning in this work and I am grateful to all who opened up their homes and hearts to me at one of the most difficult times in their lives.

As a seasoned hospice social worker, I offer support and guidance for terminal illnesses, end of life issues and bereavement.

In my new role as a therapist (Licensed Clinical Social Worker), I lean into my passion for helping people feel visible and cared about. My style is warm and inviting and I bring humor into my work as often as possible. My goal as a therapist is to support my clients in what they are seeking support for and to foster an openness for the possibilities of life.

I offer support and skills to those exploring identity, intimacy, or relational complexity—whether in gender, sexuality, kink, or deocolonized relationships. They may be sitting with grief, unraveling the impact of trauma, or feeling the weight of past experiences in their body. They long for connection but struggle with vulnerability, trust, or belonging. Some feel stuck in cycles of overwhelm, while others are questioning the stories they’ve been told about who they are. They seek a space where they can be seen without judgment, process their experiences, and make sense of the systems shaping their lives.
