Connect with Complicated Grief Therapy (CGT) in Detroit, MI

I have worked with clients/couples with a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, compassion fatigue, relationship issues, domestic abuse, intimacy issues, parenting problems, medical issues, grief, self-esteem, coping with life changes, and military issues.

I help people struggling with anxiety, depression, and trauma. I use supportive counseling, cognitive behavioral methods, somatic therapy, and mindfulness to meet each person where they are and guide them toward relief and stability.

I help clients develop resilience and psychological flexibility to function optimally. My focus is on mood, affect, self-regulation, and cognitive reframing using evidence-based approaches.

I have 30 years of experience understanding the thread of developmental trauma. I work to connect this thread, undo the way it started, and re-thread the needle. These threads include life events, genetics, environment, and system interactions that cause mental and physical diagnoses. I offer understanding with solutions for a new path.

With 20 years experience, I've helped adults experiencing depression, anxiety, life transitions, trauma, and compulsive/addictive behaviors. My approach is person-centered and emotionally focused, geared toward achieving symptom relief, self-reflection/discovery, and development of strengths, skills, & tools to create your best life as you see it!

My goal is to create an emotionally safe place where you can talk through the issues getting in your way. I know it's a risk to reach out and trust someone you don't know, especially when you're hurting. We'll go at your pace, based on your comfort with what we discuss.

I help people identify tools and create strategies to improve their overall functioning. Experiencing symptoms of anxiety, depression, or struggling to adjust or relate is not uncommon. I work to create a supportive environment where you can identify your goals, and we can partner to achieve the outcomes you desire.

I specialize in trauma therapy and create a safe, supportive space where you can heal without judgment. Together, we'll work on helping you move forward at your own pace, with compassion and understanding.

I believe every person deserves to live a life of peace—emotionally, financially, physically, and spiritually. Clients often come to therapy feeling anxious and afraid. I strive to ease this discomfort with my caring, open, and empathetic presence. Through acceptance, committed action, and professional support, lasting change is possible.

I focus on providing empowerment, support, and guidance through strength-based approaches to help with behavioral needs, mood adjustments, anxiety, depression, life stressors, and other concerns. My goal is to create a collaborative space where we address the factors affecting your well-being.

Most people call me Jo, and I'm happy you took the first step to get help. I've found that some people just need someone to speak to because they find it difficult to talk with the people around them for various reasons. I look forward to connecting with you.
