About me

Hi. Thank you for reading my profile. I am passionate about what I do and have been from the minute I graduated with my Bachelors and Masters degree in social work Wayne State University in 1994. I am based out of Detroit Michigan.

My goal has always been to provide help to those who need guidance, resources or just someone to listen. I work with individuals, couples and families. My practice has included inpatient medical social work and outpatient social work in a clinic setting. The approaches I use includes client centered therapy, strength focused therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), solutions focused therapy and motivational enhancement.
My specialties include depression, stress and anxiety management, family conflict, relationship issues, grief and anger, women’s issues, coping with life and career changes, I have developed workable solutions for reoccurring issues and problems. I have guided clients in the development of skills and strategies to deal with what life throws at us.
Reaching out for help is the first step towards change. I treat all clients with respect and compassion. I strive to establish a positive therapeutic relationship that helps to motivate change at your own pace. I look forward to working with you.

Donna has helped me slow down and reflect on my feelings and emotions. She is a gentle voice and a kind reminder to be more aware of how I speak to myself. Donna listens and understands the situations that I'm faced with in life. I am extremely happy that Donna is my therapist.

For a couple of months I've been working with Donna and already see a difference in the way I approach life and an improvement in my relationships. Coming to therapy I had specific goals in mind; above all I wanted it to be practical and give me the tools to grow within myself outside the sessions (and not just someone to talk to). Donna is so experienced and I can see that she's approaching our sessions with this in mind at all times. I feel like she is a personal trainer for my mind and heart. Thank you Donna!
