Motivational Interviewing Therapists in Michigan

My healthcare career started in 2012 working in addiction medicine which I quickly grew to love. This morphed into psychiatry which I now practice (and also love) full time. I enjoy working with all shapes and sizes of people aged 14 and older including (and especially) the LGBTQ+ population. I have an additional certification in perinatal care and love working with pre-moms, moms-to-be and post-moms! My other special interest is the treatment of OCD. I see many, many patients struggling with anxiety, depression, mood disorders like bipolar and everything in between (ADHD included). In general, I am a solution-focused provider. This means I am a bitand to the point. Lets find the problem and fix it. I am also a bit on the med conservative side. Lets get you living your best life on the least amount of medications- this can be 0, this can be 5. Everyone is unique in their own way.

When I was a little girl, my anxiety was so bad I found it absolutely terrifying to do even the simplest things like ordering from the ice cream truck. I dealt with crippling fear and self-doubt for decades, starting in those earliest years. Through my personal journey, education, and professional experience, I unraveled the toxic thought process that I had unknowingly worked so hard to perfect all my life. Today, I help others conquer the same sorts of fears and self doubt that used to hold me back. My passion is helping others break free from the patterns that hold them back and experience the life they want.
