It is an extremely brave step to enter into therapy. I am truly honored to be invited into the lives of my clients. I provide a safe non-judgmental atmosphere where my clients feel comfortable exploring their innermost thoughts and feelings. Therapy is about identifying beliefs, thought patterns and behaviors that hold people back from achieving their highest potential. If therapy is successful, a client will develop the hope, clarity, courage and self-acceptance necessary to make positive changes in their life.
I specialize in the treatment of anxiety, depression and grief and loss issues. I have extensive experience in both inpatient and outpatient settings doing individual, group and family therapy. I utilize an eclectic approach drawing upon evidence-based practices relying largely upon Cognitive Behavioral and Psychodynamic approaches to treatment. As a Christian I treat my role as therapist as a calling from God. I am always respectful of clients who embrace another faith, or have a secular perspective, and feel very comfortable treating them.

I am a cancer counseling specialist and psychotherapist working in private practice for over 15 years. Although my practice specializes in cancer-focused counseling, I have extensive experience and training working with grief, depression, chronic illness, PTSD, trauma, and anxiety.
My training includes a BSc of psychology at the University of Michigan, a Master’s in Counseling and Psychotherapy at Dublin City University, and a MA in Counseling Psychology from Wayne State University, with advanced training in marriage and family therapy.
I work to make my therapy integrative with a person-centered core, offering a warm, non-judgmental, and safe space where personal exploration of your concerns can begin. I bring my training and experience in multiple theoretical approaches to therapy including psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral (CBT), existential, and humanistic. This allows me to work with clients with a broad spectrum of concerns while offering the most effective, research-based interventions and support. My approach to relationship therapy incorporates strategies primarily from John Gottman, emotion-focused therapy, and IMAGO. These approaches provide couples with the necessary tools to improve communication, reduce conflict, and achieve the connection and intimacy they seek.

Strength is recognizing that you can’t do it alone. My main goal as a therapist is to provide a safe, open, and nonjudgmental space that focuses on each individual’s life experiences while maintaining the personal beliefs/values of the client to encourage growth and strength. I value the connections my clients create with me as their therapist; creating a connection with your therapist is important to the therapeutic process and will be the driving force of each therapy session. I work with clients collaboratively to explore their thoughts, feelings, hopes, and obstacles to create goals reflecting their desires for therapy. I have experience working with children, teens, and adults.
The client is the expert on their life, and I am here to help guide and support them. The basis of the therapist-client relationship is trust, respect, empathy, collaboration, and support and are essential to ensure personal growth and healing.

Cultures are tricky even when we live in the same country. Do you feel it’s difficult to be fully understood? Do you feel “conflict with others” happen often? Sometime we feel lonely, lost, and discouraged when going through life transitions, good or bad. Transition could be a divorce, a loss of a loved one, a new cultural/sexual identity, or even an exciting new job. You don’t have to go through those transitions alone. Therapy is a safe space for you to explore the complex emotions that come with those changes.
I take an integrative approach in helping my clients realize their own potential to achieve wellness. Knowing Cantonese and Mandarin, it allows me to understand my client’s perspective from their own native language. I am also trained in EMDR therapy that has shown significant results, especially with trauma and PTSD.
As a Wellness Counselor, my goal is to educate, support, and empower my clients. I aspire to create a safe space where we can explore values, set goals, and implement plans. It would be my pleasure to work along side you to be your supporter.

I’ve spent the last 22 years working as a Social Worker and Bereavement Counselor for both hospice and palliative care. I’m well aware of the difficult journey a chronic, serious or terminal illness can be for both patients and families. Families are affected, not just emotionally but financially, spiritually and physically. Everyone is touched by these illnesses, and everyone has their own way of coping. I try and offer support, education, empathy, and hope-no matter the diagnosis. I have been privileged to meet some amazing, strong people. And as they experience remission or healing, celebrate with them. Even the ones that were terminal, have found quality time and strengths, in the midst of grief and sadness.

Jenny has always felt led to walk with those enduring hardship and sorrow with compassion and care. She received her masters degree from the University of Pittsburgh in Genetic Counseling in 2009. She had the honor of providing resources and support to couples grieving their unborn child’s diagnosis, adults learning they have a terminal genetic condition, and individuals discovering whether or not they inherited a potentially deadly heart condition.
In 2011, Jenny began to grieve through her own journey of “what was supposed to be” when her late husband was diagnosed with cancer 4 months after the birth of their son. In 2013, after 19 months of living with cancer and all that comes with it, Aaron passed away and she started her season as a widowed single mom. Those years shaped her into a person she never expected, revealing strengths, capabilities and joys she never thought possible.
It is Jenny’s passion and privilege to help others who are trying to get their footing after their world shatters. We can’t go back to what was but we can move forward to what is and discover beauty, joy, and hope there.

I have a Master’s in Social Work from Michigan State University and have spent the last 9 years focused on extensive mental health, crisis counseling and early childhood development. Whether it’s individuals or families, I can help you navigate the challenges within the juvenile and school systems with students (both general and special education) and also trauma, stress, depression and crisis for both students and adults. I have a multitude of tools including Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Protective Factors for families, Self-Regulation, NSSI (Non Suicidal Self Injury), Teen Intervene, InDepth, and Culturally Responsive Minds that we can use to help you or your student move beyond this difficult season of life. I’m looking forward to joining you on this journey and helping you take back control of your life.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Marriage and Family Therapist. I like to provide a calm and compassionate therapeutic space to individuals, couples and families that are struggling with circumstances that might be draining their energy and their ability to be mindful of their own internal resources and needs at such difficult times.
I was born and raised in Mexico City where I was one of ten children in a wonderful family. I am married and have a son and three grandsons. I graduated from medical school from the National University of Mexico. Afterwards, as my husband was transferred to Michigan, I got a master’s degree in Counseling, and a specialization in Couples and Family Therapy.
Through the years, I have experienced the devastating news of a cancer diagnosis in family members, which has given me the opportunity to be part of their support system and made me realize the importance of getting the right support during difficult times. In addition, my own experience of relocation required adjustment to a new life that added personal experience to my professional perspective.

Soy terapeuta con una maestría en Consejería y con especialidad en terapia de pareja. Mi objetivo es ofrecer un espacio terapéutico tranquilo y empático a individuos, parejas o familias que estén enfrentando circunstancias tan preocupantes, que les dificulte utilizar sus fortalezas personales o responder a sus necesidades en momentos tan difíciles.
Soy originaria de la Ciudad de México en donde viví hasta que me gradué de la escuela de medicina. Cuando llegué a Michigan, estudié la maestría en Counseling y después hice la especialidad en terapia de pareja y de familias.
He trabajado con familias e individuos en México y en Michigan por mucho tiempo, lo cual me ha ayudado a ofrecer servicios bilingües y biculturales. A través de los años, he compartido con seres queridos la difícil noticia de su diagnóstico de cáncer. Los apoyé durante su tratamiento y aprendí la importancia de tener el apoyo necesario durante tiempos difíciles.
Para mi, es un honor compartir un momento en la vida de una persona que desea procesar o reflexionar en sus experiencias.

“My life feels so out of control right now!” Have you ever felt this way? If your answer is yes, let’s chat! As a therapist, I work to empower individuals and couples to overcome personal obstacles while achieving recovery from addictive behaviors and other life challenges. I strive to help men and women achieve recovery from substance abuse, problematic sexual behaviors, material/relationship struggles, and co-occurring disorders including anxiety and depression.
I have devoted several years to focusing on how struggles with mental illness, substance use and problematic sexual behaviors affect emotional and physical well-being, and I support others as they gain freedom from these behaviors. I offer individual, couples, and group therapy services to help meet the needs of those seeking recovery.
Deciding to tell your story can be a scary process, but you don’t have to do it alone. If you’re interested in building a life free of these obstacles, please reach out.
