The mission at Motor City Center for Hope is to create a professional yet peaceful, authentic and caring environment dedicated to treating each individual served as a unique being. I strive to rebuild hope not only in my clients but in the community as a whole.

I have extensive experience in both the social work and education fields for the past 25 years. I have had the privilege of working with young and old adults, families, children, adolescents, individuals in recovery, and the homeless. Meeting people where they are and assisting them with loving themselves first on their journey of self-fulfillment while using their unique gifts to help others has always been my goal. I specialize in assisting, supporting, and encouraging individuals in finding their why. I believe that living your life on purpose, allows us to handle life’s issues in a more optimistic manner.

Do you feel like you're not good enough? Do you feel like you're not in control? Do you feel like you've been overlooked? Are you harboring feelings of anger, or resentment towards yourself or someone else? Are you in a never ending cycle of worry, guilt, denial, or regret? Is it hard for you to be around others without feeling judged or ridiculed? If you have answered yes to any of the above questions, let me help you. I provide individual, family, and couples therapy in an authentic nonjudgmental manner.

Have you ever felt as if you were having a heart attack? Did you feel the need to call 911? Did it seem to come out of nowhere? That heart racing, out of breath, sweating, loss of appetite, all-consuming anxiety? You're not alone because I have too. I have dedicated my career to helping those of all ages battle their depressions and anxieties. I enjoy using a cognitive-behavioral therapeutic (CBT) focus which allows me to help clients change their thought process so that they are able to change their behavior. I view my clients as a "professional friendship", aiming to hold their hand along their own journey.

I provide psychoanalytic and relational/intersubjective psychotherapy for adults and adolescents. This approach allows you to express internal thoughts and feelings and worries you have, and it can begin to help you understand them in a deeper way. Many people suffer from negative thinking and get stuck in that state of mind, feeling that is the reality. It is only a partial state of mind, it holds us back from being more productive and enjoying life. I have once a week and up to five times a week psychotherapy available.

Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, sleep disturbances, and negative thoughts? Do you feel down and blue after giving birth to a baby and don’t know why? Are you tired of putting up a facade on the outside when in fact you are hurting on the inside? Have you lost a loved one and have difficulty coping with grief? Are these feelings affecting your personal and professional relationships? My goal is to help you navigate through this journey that we call “life” by providing you with the necessary tools to overcome life’s obstacles.

Self-care, motivation, realizing personal goals, and growth are essential for a healthy mind, body, and spirit. It is okay to love your self and live your best life while remaining conscious of others. I am a research, psychology, and business consultant that conducts fee for services interviews and consultations. I do not diagnosis or claim to treat mental health disorders. I provide one-on-one occurrences free from judgement and scrutiny as many as four times per week.

I am focused on healing trauma that lives beneath the surface of our lives. Sometimes in our current life we find ourselves making negative or hurtful choices that impact ourselves or others, because of bad things that happened in the past or are happening to us now. I have worked with and seen this occur within people who have suffered sexual, physical, and psychological or emotional abuse. I have also seen this same thing within people addicted to harmful substances, people who are depressed, anxious, people who go to prison for their negative choices, and broken relationships or families.

You’ve ended a marriage, a committed relationship, or a sexual relationship and can’t get back to feeling like yourself. You have so many questions about what the relationship meant that it feels like you’re questioning your entire identity. You feel ridiculous for how deeply impacted you are because it seems like a breakup is just something everyone goes through. But here you are- contemplating what it means to be you and wondering if you will ever find someone who truly celebrates the real you. Your friends have been thoughtful and supportive, but you’re still hurting.

Currently, you may be facing struggles in your life; however you do not have to face them alone. Allow me to be a part of your journey as you work toward a stronger and healthier mind. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Trauma Practitioner, I've provided diverse social work, case management, and clinical services to many children, teens, adults, and seniors. My clinical practice is devoted exclusively to individuals seeking solutions to life’s complicated challenges. My goal is to be present with you while teaching skills to build emotional resilience so you can eventually leave therapy and manage on your own.

I most recently earned my Doctoral degree in Psychology, with that I also hold a Limited License with the State of Michigan for Clinical Mental Health Counseling; in addition to being a State of Michigan Certified Peer Recovery Mentor, with 20 years experience working with children and families. I specialize in working with defiant children. I also provide therapy for individuals, couples and families.

You're ready for change. You want more for yourself and are set to take the next step to achieve it. As a life and leadership coach, this is where I come in. I work with clients in their quest to step into their fullest potential. Whether in their personal or professional lives, they have challenges they are striving to overcome, transitions they are working through, ideas that need clarifying, and goals they want to reach. I work with my clients in all of these arenas to help them connect with their best selves and create a pathway of significance and fulfillment in their lives.

Children and families are the world's greatest gifts! Sometimes, things do not go the way we want and we can't "fix" them ourselves. Other times, we find ourselves reliving family occurrences that we vowed we would never return to. And often times, we simply want to make the best of what we have. Whether it's Mom, Dad, or the kids, we just need to sit down, talk it out, and take the REST needed to move forward. This practice prioritizes the child/adolescent, but does not neglect the reality that the entire family system is pivotal to the child's development. Cultivating well rounded and healthy family systems is the goal!

As an fully Licensed Professional Counselor and advanced level Addiction Counselor, I have had the opportunity and privilege to help those facing life's trials and tribulations. I care for adults, couples, adolesents and children by helping them learn to cope with stress and maneuver thru their personal journeys.

My approach to clients and the therapeutic relationship begins with unconditional positive regard. I strive to build a therapeutic environment where my clients are accepted fully as worthy, capable individuals. I believe that thoughts, feelings, and our actions interact constantly based on past experiences that continue to influence our present. I would be happy to assist you in developing new ways of thinking about past, present, and future events in order to achieve your best self. I work wide a wide variety of clients; some of the topics I most frequently help with include mood disorders, trauma, and LGBTQ concerns.

I'M OPENING MY OWN PRACTICE IN METRO DETROIT IN MID-SEP & WILL BE ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS THEN. // I help my clients discover the root causes of their presenting concerns, versus focusing on the surface thoughts and emotions.

My practice offers individual, couples and family sessions for all ages. My office is located on the first floor inside the beautiful Park Shelton building in Midtown Detroit and my fees are reasonable.
