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 practice has included inpatient medical social work and outpatient social work in a clinic setting.

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.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

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!

For me Donna is a patient focused guide to feeling better and coping with the immediate anxiety and panic attacks and stressors while providing me with continued support and education to relieve negative thoughts, overthinking and expectations which have been key to breaking out of some of my own controllable responses to the chaotic life circumstances that otherwise overwhelm me. I am confident that within a few short months I will feel productive and confident again (I began at a stage of daily panic attacks three weeks ago and found her tools gave me hope and coping skills from the first session on).

Donna is an excellent therapist. This is my first experience with therapy, and shes literally changed my life. I went from being able to barely function socially to finally having a grip on my mental health and how my body reacts to negativity. She offers so many new things, and always makes sure to ask if its something I'm comfortable or interested in doing. She listens, my adhd makes it hard for me to know when to start talking, she heavily respects that and always leaves room for me to speak first. Shes an amazing person and super friendly and always reassures you
