Bipolar disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Livonia, MI

Hello and welcome.

I’m a licensed therapist with over 10 years of experience supporting individuals, couples, and families across a range of settings—including colleges, group practices, healthcare systems, and now in my private practice. My clinical foundation includes seven years of graduate training (MS and PhD), and I began my career as a social worker in non-profit LGBT health and hospital inpatient care.

I specialize in trauma-informed care and work with people navigating depression, anxiety, and overwhelming stress.

I typically work with clients long-term, building a therapeutic relationship grounded in warmth, honesty, and trust. I’m easy to talk to, and I invite collaboration and transparency in every session—believing that healing happens when people feel safe, understood, and empowered.

I work with children and teens (ages 7+), young adults, adults, couples, families, and relationship partners. Whether you're seeking support for yourself or navigating challenges in your relationships, I’m here to help you move toward a more connected and fulfilling life.

As a licensed therapist in Michigan, I bring 16 years of dedicated experience supporting individuals through complex life challenges. My practice centers on creating a compassionate, affirming space where clients can explore personal growth, healing, and self-discovery. I specialize in addressing a wide range of emotional experiences, including stress, anxiety, trauma, intimacy challenges, sexual addiction, and self-esteem concerns. My approach is deeply empathetic and tailored to each individual's unique journey, with a particular focus on supporting LGBTQ+ individuals, older adults, and those seeking a progressive, non-religious therapeutic environment. My therapeutic work spans diverse areas such as communication difficulties, social anxiety, anxiety, life transitions, relationship dynamics, attachment issues, negative core beliefs, and personal empowerment. I'm committed to helping clients navigate complex emotional landscapes, whether they're dealing with workplace stress, relationship challenges, or personal transformation. I believe in a holistic approach that honors each person's individual experiences and strengths, supporting clients as they develop deeper self-understanding, resilience, and meaningful life strategies.

As a board certified Licensed Master Social Worker-Clinical I thrive in helping individuals navigate life's complexities with resilience and grace. I’ve been practicing for 5 years, but over the last few years I have shifted my main focus to adult clients aged 18-50 who are struggling with anxiety, depression, and relationship issues.

I’m a therapist who believes in creating a safe, judgment-free space where you can be yourself. I earned my Master’s degree from Western Michigan University and have 7 years of experience in addiction counseling, supporting individuals through recovery and life’s challenges. I’m also trained in EMDR, which helps people process and heal from trauma. My approach is down to earth and focused on giving you practical tools you can use in your everyday life. You don’t have to go through things alone.
