Meet Bella Therapist in Michigan

Hi! I’m Bella; a lifelong advocate for mental health and well-being. I believe everyone is deserving of mental health care, which is why it’s my personal mission to provide the highest quality support for my clients, so they grow into the best versions of themselves.

My extensive clinical training has been in evidence-based practice of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), a form of CBT that helps individuals find their best life worth living. This is attained through teaching them skills designed to enhance their abilities to regulate their own emotions, tolerate distress, and increase their mindfulness and interpersonal effectiveness. I provide a heavy dose of validation and support during our sessions to ensure that my clients feel safe and heard in therapy. I’m also a strong believer that change is not always linear and that having a caring therapist can make the darker days brighter. But being a human isn’t always a piece of cake, and so I can help you learn how to tackle difficult or unwanted emotions along the way and strengthen your ability to create the kind life you want to live.

I specialize in working with tweens, teens, and young adults to explore their identity, build their self-worth and self-esteem, develop healthy relationships with friends, family members, as well as themselves. Learning new coping skills and developing a strong therapeutic relationship is where I can jump in to help you navigate everything life throws your way!

A little on my educational background: I earned a Master of Social Work degree at the University of Michigan and Bachelor of Arts in Psychology also from the University of Michigan. I am a passionate and devoted clinician eager to help transform the lives of my youth and teen clients!
