I have always valued and enjoyed helping others in all sorts of ways. However, once I attended my first psychology course I immediately knew that the field of mental health was how I wanted to help people for the rest of my life. I am extremely passionate about learning and gaining better understanding about each individual person’s thoughts, feelings, behaviors, relationships, etc. It is this passion which began in 2006 that led me to graduate Wayne State University with a B.A. majoring in Psychology and to then go on to graduate Moody Theological Seminary with a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology in 2013. I am currently licensed in the state of Michigan as a Master's Limited Psychologist (LLP). I can confidently say that my passion for psychology and helping others through psychotherapy has only increased over the years.

I specialize in therapy for boys ranging anywhere from Kindergarten through adolescence and into young adulthood. Ever since I began my work as a psychologist, I have been aware of a lack of therapists that can genuinely relate to and understand the interests, concerns, hobbies, etc. of the boys growing up in today’s world. In addition to seeing these kids in therapy, I have also been working at a church 3 days a week for about 5 years specifically with the children grades K-5 & the Middle Schoolers. My personal experience working with these boys has consistently shown that they are less guarded in our sessions, are visibly excited to talk about their interests with me once I provide intimate knowledge of these interests (e.g., video games, phone games, apps, TV shows, movies, etc.), and they engage in open and honest conversations being able to express their thoughts and feelings with me which they often times haven’t felt comfortable enough to share anywhere else.

Couples therapy is another specialty area that I thoroughly enjoy and believe this type of therapy creates unique situations and opportunities for all involved that aren’t available in individual therapy. I approach couples therapy with the belief that couples will benefit most by my ability to remain impartial throughout, not playing favorites or siding with one person against the other. Instead, I focus on identifying the dynamics of the relationship both in sessions and in day-to-day life and the unique backgrounds and childhood experiences of each partner and their potential influence on their current relationship. Early on in therapy I identify unhealthy and unproductive behaviors of the couple and establish session rules so that future sessions can be productive and both partners feel they were heard and able to express their thoughts during each sessions. The success or failure of a couple is determined essentially by whether or not they are committed to working on their relationship. Any couple that is willing to commit to their relationship—I will gladly work with them in therapy.

I also thoroughly enjoy working with adults of all ages both men and women. I work with a variety of issues, such as: depression; anxiety; interpersonal relationship conflict; workplace conflict; boundaries in relationships; ADHD; OCD; video game and other electronic related problems; dealing with self-destructive loved ones; parenting issues; and others.

My overall approach to therapy is from a cognitive-behavioral perspective. Any type of therapy I provide will be focused on identifying unhealthy thoughts and behaviors and replacing them with healthy thoughts and behaviors. I regard cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) as an approach that is concerned with treating the individual as a whole, both mind and body, which can even be applied to couples or family therapy when each partner or family member is focused on correcting their own behaviors and thoughts leading to healthier interactions with each other. When working with preadolescent children, therapy may focus more on addressing their behaviors and less on their thoughts since they may not be capable yet of more complex and abstract thinking.

I charge a fee anywhere from $60 - $100 per 50 minute session (this Sliding Fee is based on Household Income). This applies to couples as well as individuals. I also do provide a bill that can be submitted to the client’s insurance company.
