Reality Therapy / Choice Theory Therapists in Sterling Heights, MI

I help clients better understand themselves, recognize the patterns shaping their lives and relationships, and tap into their own inner wisdom. My approach is interactive, empathetic, compassionate, and accepting. I provide honest feedback and practical tools you can use between sessions, while also creating space for deeper reflection and healing. I blend CBT, DBT, Solution-Focused, and person-centered approaches to help you build self-awareness, confidence, healthier relationships, and meaningful lasting change.

I provide a safe, non-judgmental environment for individuals to heal and become their unapologetic selves.

With over two decades of experience working in diverse therapeutic environments—ranging from outpatient clinics to psychiatric hospitals, adventure programs, residential treatment facilities, schools, juvenile corrections, and a military hospital—I bring a wide-ranging perspective to problem-solving and overcoming life's obstacles. As the Founder & President of two award-winning mental health centers with a staff 150, I've gained a holistic and interdisciplinary approach to care.

I provide therapy for individuals and couples seeking help with OCD, social anxiety, and relationship challenges. My approach is compassionate, practical, and goal-focused—helping clients reduce anxiety, break unhelpful patterns, and build healthier relationships. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected, therapy can help you regain clarity, confidence, and balance.

As an autistic psychologist in Colorado, I personally understand many of the personal challenges my neurodivergent (ASD/autism, ADHD, learning abilities) clients are facing. I excel by helping you get clarity about your current challenges through psychological testing and what next steps and recommendations may be helpful after testing is completed. Through therapy, I often help clients come to terms with a new diagnosis, unmask, understand differences between neurotypical and neurodivergent approaches, and come to accept your identity as a neurodivergent person.

Sterling Heights is Macomb County's largest city and home to one of the largest Chaldean (Iraqi Christian) communities in the United States, as well as significant Arab-American, South Asian, and Eastern European populations, making it one of the most ethnically diverse cities in Michigan with correspondingly diverse therapy needs. Culturally competent and Arabic-speaking therapists are in significant demand, particularly for clients navigating immigration trauma, intergenerational family conflict between Chaldean community norms and American culture, and the mental health challenges of communities that have experienced significant displacement and loss. Henry Ford Health System and Ascension hospitals in the area provide behavioral health services, and a private therapy sector serves those who can access it. Common therapy concerns include immigration and displacement trauma, intergenerational family dynamics, acculturation stress, anxiety, depression, and the complex identity challenges of communities maintaining strong cultural and religious traditions in a new country.
