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.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Donna has been able to be a good sounding board for me. She is always quick to offer resources and checks in to see how they helped me.
First session gave me hope.
She's friendly and accommodating
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.
Thank you for your kindness, empathy, and wisdom Donna!
Good listener. I appreciate how she shares her own perspective and guides me gently into topics.
Donna has been wonderful. I’ve very much enjoyed working with her over the years.
Donna is a wonderful listener and has many amazing tools. I couldn’t recommend her more.
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!
She's awesome! She's very understanding and never judgemental.
Donna is a professional, skilled listener. It’s amazing what just being heard can do for a person.
She's been great, always understanding and accommodating
She has been super helpful and comes up with techniques to overcome obstacles.
Working with Donna has been extremely helpful! She is caring and supportive and makes you feel comfortable. Since working with her I’ve become more confident and been able to gain perspective on things in my life that were holding me back for years.
Donna is a wonderful therapist! She is so attentive and lets you spill all your emotions and put it all out on the table with no judgements. I love how she remembers details and follows up with them in the next session. It has been a wonderful experience working with her, my views on things have changed for the better and it's made my day to day life so much better! Highly recommend Donna, she's a gem!
Working with Donna has been amazing so far. It’s been over a year (somehow) but every week still feels fresh. I love the lightheartedness I feel coming out of our sessions, even if the subject matter was heavy. I’d strongly recommend Donna. You can tell she cares and is empathetic. 10/10 therapist
Donna is a great therapist. I really like her approach. She is a compassionate listener and very empathetic. She always offered to upload information to help me further after sessions. Really recommend her.
Donna is a great therapist. At first it was hard to understand her approach. But I'm beginning to learn, it's me being closed off. She doing a great job at helping me work through exactly what I wanna work on.
I have only had a couple of sessions with Donna, but so far have found her to be a very empathetic listener with concrete suggestions on how to move forward with the issues I am dealing with. She is compassionate and very intuitive and I look forward to our sessions.
I feel Donna did not judge. She listened and encouraged. I’m glad with the conversations we had.
I have spoken with Donna for a year now and in that time she has listened to me and what i have been going though,and has given great advice and techniques on how to cope with my depression and anxiety and though out has been so supportive.im in a better place thanks to Donna
Donna is kind, caring, supportive and wise. I appreciate her flexibility and availability.
I was very hesitant to try therapy but I’m so glad I did. Her calm and approachable nature made me feel so comfortable. She helped me work through my anxiety with amazing tools and techniques that I continue to use everyday. She listened and always offered such sound advice. Highly recommend!
I haven't had many sessions with her, but the process has been helpful so far.
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).
Great therapist, available to talk about a lot of issues dealing with unconventional relationships.
Highly knowledgeable and kind. She obviously loves what she does and takes great pride in her expertise. She was down to earth and easy to work with. Thanks so much Donna!
Donna has great expertise and knowledge! She has helped me ton over even a few phone calls. Donna is very professional and was very helpful in every problem I've had
Really helped me get to the bottom of my anxiety and was super easy to talk to. She really listened to what I had to say and then helped me figure out the roots of my issues. This was my first time with a therapist and I have absolutely no complaints with her! She’s amazing.
A professional and kind person. I always look forward to my sessions with Donna. She is very patient and understanding, qualities that I really appreciate and respect.
Donna has helped me so much since I began working with her. I always feel more calm and understood after speaking with her.
I felt comfortable around Donna very quickly and I have confidence that consulting her will allow me to learn more about myself and improve myself in a matter of no time.
Donna is very qualified and helpful.
Donna is brilliant. She explains everything in a way that I understand and is very easy to talk too. As someone who struggles to ‘open up’ I’ve found it surprising easy to talk to Donna.
Loves how Donna listens, then offers advise and counsel. She has really helped me overcome many family issues in my family.
I found Donna easy to talk to and full of useful tips on dealing with depression, anxiety and addictions and I would like to thank her for her help

Donna is very nice, give great tips and is very thoughtful. She listened to everything I said and took it all in to help me in the best way.
Donna is a wonderful listener and feels much more relatable than other therapists I’ve had in the past. I enjoy talking to her and feel a little lighter each time I do.
Donna is fantastic. She's great at listening and pinpointing areas to focus on and helps you tackle your biggest struggles, step by step, so it's not overwhelming.
Donna has been amazing with helping me overcome such trauma from my past life. She has informed me immensely of reason and understanding as to why I would do, say, or think in negative ways. I’m incredibly grateful for her help from helping me heal from my childhood, teen years, and adulthood. She’s amazing, she listens and hears all your emotions and what you’re saying to her. I would recommend her to my friends. Most especially because of her warm caring heart and energy.
Very understanding, very helpful! Great therapist!
After working with Donna for 5 weeks, I developed a sense of confidence in myself and my ability to use the skills that she taught me to cope with anxiety and negative thought patterns. Donna listens really well and has always provided me with worksheets and information that matched what I needed.
Donna has been a great help in listening and offering strategies and resources to help address my anxieties around work and day to day life. Thanks Donna!
She has really great incite and offers and impartial honest perspective with solutions and coping mechanisms that help me balance myself out and form plans to create positive change within myself
I really enjoy working with Donna!
Donna has been very helpful. I had 8sessions of live video call with her and been sending her messages from time to time, and she always get back to me as soon as she can. Although we have almost 8hours time difference, we have been communicating consistently. I am very comfortable with her and I appreciate the way how she listens to me and checks on me.
Took her time to get to know my needs, and keeps giving me the right exercises and information to pursue my goals and overcome my issues.
Great so far.
Donna is a good fit for what I need.
Kind and caring mast. Wants to genuinely help.
I can tell that she really is listening and trying to ful understand my issues and feelings before delving into them, which I really appreciate. It doesn't feel like she's just going through a checklist, I really get the feeling she is spending the time to try and get to know me, which is difficult when not in person. It makes a big difference.
I have complex workplace issues, and waited too long to seek help. Donna is patiently helping me sort out my issues.
I am really enjoying my sessions with Donna, she is very qualified and is very friendly and easy to talk to, and the exercises and techniques that she gives me really are helping, I was in such a mess especially with anxiety and depression but I look forward to our sessions every wk but I can also message anytime when I'm feeling overwhelmed and anxious, it's definitely really helping me
Donna helped me get out of my head and gave me the tools to be successful. I am grateful for all the help she gave me and would recommend her to anyone needing help getting their mental footing back.
Donna is easy to talk to about my concerns and offers practical advice.
She is great.
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
