I am family and adolescent therapist licensed in Michigan. I have worked with clients with issues ranging from depression, anxiety, motivation, organizational challenges, family and relationship issues. I have also worked with clients seeking to resolve spiritual concerns.
My style of therapy is like a directed, interactive conversation. I strive to never push harder than the client can handle in a non-judgmental, caring environment. I would describe my therapeutic style as eclectic and these are some of the styles I have borrowed from that help me serve my clients; cognitive-behavioral, solution-focused, brief therapy, and humanistic styles.
I applaud anyone seeking therapy, because it takes courage. I believe that it is a privilege to be able to support anyone that has made that decision. I look forward to assisting in that next step where ever that journey that takes you.

I started with Derrick in a very pivotal moment in my life. Trying to balance work, relationships and self esteem can be hard on anybody. Derrick gave me the tools I needed to push past those negative distractions and think positively and productively. Sometimes all you need is someone that will listen. Derrick lent me his ears, attention and much more, thank you Derrick.

Derrick, became my therapist when I was having a low in my life. He encouraged me and helped me to work through some hard situations and be able to move forward. I’ve really appreciated working with him.

I have really appreciated all of my therapists advice. He has always seemed to know exactly what to say and how to say it to make what he's saying make sense. I really appreciate the challenges and accountability on completing them as well.
