Therapists in Michigan

I am a social worker with over 30 years of experience. My undergraduate degree is in Business and Psychology, and I have a master's degree in social work. My primary area of focus is working with couples and trying to help them heal their relationship. Through our work together we can hope to heal communication challenges and figure out how to build, or rebuild a healthy relationship. In addition...if a couple decides to end their relationship, together we can do this in a kind and compassionate way. My approach to helping people is eclectic...which means I tailor the treatment to the needs of my clients. I have been trained to listen attentively and to understand what is being presented by people I am working with. I believe in the tenants of social work which stress confidentiality and treatment without judgment. My experience is that not every therapist is a good fit for every client but the right fit can be life changing. I believe therapy is a gift someone gives to them self and it is an act of courage to understand that you need help and are willing to seek it. I look forward to helping you achieve your personal goals and help you have the peace of mind you seek.

I am an empathic therapist with many years of experience working with children, families, and individuals struggling with issues of Depression, Anxiety, Bipolar Disorder, Attention Deficit, Autism Spectrum, among others. I strive to be both compassionate and empathic while helping the client along their journey of healing. I am able to use a variety of clinical approaches which the client can select according to their own comfort level from medical model to solution focused, to spiritual or Christian counseling, to holistic and energy work, along with traditional models of Cognitive Behavioral Methods and Narrative Therapies. I can adapt and modify any or all of these modalities according to the best response and comfort level of the client. I rely on quick thinking and a sense of humor and engage clients with genuine concern for their well-being. I received my MSW education from Grand Valley State University and my degree in Family Life Education from Spring Arbor College. I have obtained additional certifications as a trauma specialist, a Reiki practitioner, an Advanced Clinical Heart-Centered Hypnotherapist, and I am certified to lead seminars in Intensive Personal Life Transformation. I look forward to working with you as you travel your journey.

I think they will find me a listening neutral ear. I believe in helping clients find their strengths no matter what life circumstances have impacted them. I regard my clients positively unconditionally. My favorite quote from Winston Churchill is to "Never, Never Give Up." I believe people should be as happy as they can possibly be. I will use Motivational Interviewing, Person Centered, Cognitive BehaviorTherapy, DBT, and Imago techniques and tools in sessions. I also like Mindfulness to aid relaxation and combat overall stress.

We are all humans with human experiences and challenges. Are you finding yourself sometimes feeling misunderstood by others and feeling like you have to wear a mask to hide who you really are? Having trouble getting along with others while feeling a deep sense of loneliness. Are you feeling life is against you and not going your way. Is your past traumas/unresolved issues creeping up and interfering with your present life. Are you sick of feeling sick and tired? If so, it sounds like it’s time to focus on your overall wellbeing. I have twenty plus years of experience counseling diverse individuals, families, and couples with life hardships and my goal is to guide you to live a healed authentic life. I will assist and challenge you with developing skills and the confidence you need to live the unapologetic life you desire by having non-judgmental genuine conversations about your fears and concerns. However, I will not coddle you because I believe that enables unhealed/unhealthy thinking and behaviors. Only want clients who are serious and committed to wanting therapy; not those who are just curious or unsure about starting therapy. Otherwise, the time is now, healing is possible.

In my trauma-informed, mind-body integrated therapy, I draw upon a blend of ancient wisdom and modern approaches. I explore whether my clients' diet is nourishing, balanced, immune-supportive, and beneficial for their gut microbiome.
