Engedi Therapy
We are a female, black-owned, faith-based mental health practice.
We take a wholistic approach to meeting you - mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.  We walk you through assessing the impact of these stressors may have on your physical and mental health. We focus on assisting you in developing a healthier perspective regarding your current state of life. This may include anxiety, depression, life transitions, grief & loss, trauma (childhood, sexual, verbal and emotional abuse, and workplace). Let us join you on this journey called - LIFE!
What To Expect At Your First Visit
First, let me congratulate you on taking the first step, recognizing that you need help, with something. Perhaps, you’re feeling overwhelmed emotionally, distressed, or facing many decisions all at once and not sure what to do.
It takes courage to call and ask for help. It can be nerve-racking to walk into a therapist's office and share your deepest concerns. Take a deep breath! Now, take another one! It may sound simple, but it's very important. You'll hear me say it often in the days ahead.
When you arrive, we’ll sit down together, gather your history, determine the initial needs/concerns you'd like to address in therapy. We'll develop your initial treatment plan and discuss potential outcomes. We'll also discuss the frequency of therapy.
Let me join you on your journey to restoration!
I look forward to meeting you soon.
SERVICES
Individual Therapy
I offer services to men and women age 18 and over.
In therapy sessions, we’ll work together to solve current and past problems that impact your current level of functioning.
In that, we'll discover healthier thought patterns and break down unhealthy behaviors and develop healthier responses to stressors. These valuable tools will help you cope with life’s difficulties. I’m confident you’ll find my personalized approach beneficial and inspirational.
I also offer biblical guidance and prayer, if you desire.

About Me
I am a Licensed Master Clinical Social Worker (LMSW) serving the community in metro-Detroit, MI.
I opened my own practice, Engedi Therapy, LLC, in October 2020.
​
My goal is to help clients discover the root causes of their presenting concerns,
versus focusing on the surface thoughts and emotions.
​
I utilize a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Family Systems Theory, and Biblical Principles to guide clients in therapy.
​
I am also a member of Freedom in Christ, USA, which allows me to guide individuals through the Steps to Freedom in Christ. The “Steps” help individuals resolve “personal and spiritual conflicts” and develop a stronger identify in Christ (https://ficm.org).
​
One of my greatest joys is seeing my clients gain mental and emotional strength as they resolve life issues or foundational dysfunction, resulting in a better quality of life, and for those who desire, greater spiritual growth.
