23 years of experience

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with over 23 years of professional guidance and counseling experience. I have a Masters degree in Guidance and Counseling earning credits from both Central Michigan University and Eastern Michigan University. I have a Bachelor's degree in Education from The University of Michigan, earning a Lifetime Teaching Certificate. I am a member of the Michigan Mental Health Counseling Association (MMHCA). Much of my personal counseling work has focused on stress, anxiety, a spectrum of parenting issues, anger management, motivation, depression, self-esteem, personal and professional confidence, family conflicts, and family of origin insight. I also have experience working with trauma to include emotional, physical, and sexual abuse, domestic violence, grief and loss, and life changes. I pull from a variety of modalities. I am educated in, and do my best to continue my personal education in the following: Client Centered Therapy which aims to increase one's self-esteem and self-acceptance working to decrease those negative feelings that like to pull us down. Clients work towards unconditional positive thinking about themselves, and are the guides in their own therapeutic process. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on contrasting rational versus irrational thoughts and in so doing, challenge those obstacles one wishes to conquer. It helps to identify what it is that triggers a person's negative actions, and how to overcome those behaviors. Solution Based Therapy is just that. It focuses on how to accomplish a set goal. Behavior Activation Therapy (BAT) is a very specific type of therapy to combat depression. It focuses on action and the environment. The most common symptom of depression is lack of interest of doing things we used to enjoy. BAT focuses on returning to doing just those things. Narrative Therapy focuses on your life story and how you view your past, present, and future. We try to discover what memories are bringing you down, and how to deal with those in a more positive manner - even if it is just acceptance. I have some knowledge of DBT - Dialectal Behavioral Therapy, but am not certified. DBT tries to balance being in the middle - combining our cognition with our feelings to create the "wise mind". I am a retired Michigan Public School's teacher (certified grades 7-12) and counselor (certified K-12), now working in the tele-health field with Better Help. Although I have spent the bulk of my guidance and counseling career working in middle schools, I still have much experience working with adults. Counselors are the liaison between students, parents, teachers, specialists, administration, probation officers, foster and adoptive care, community resources and much more. What I am most pleased about in working with Better Help, is that I am able to concentrate on treating individual clients without administrative duties pulling me away from helping people one on one. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. I realize that mental health care isn't always looked upon as importantly as physical health care is, so I applaud you for being willing to take the first step in this journey for yourself. To protect our physical selves, we need to nurture, build, and strengthen our emotional selves as well! I will tailor our dialogue and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. I will listen to you without interruption, try to calm your fears, speak to you with respect, and offer the help that you are ready to accept. I want our sessions to be honorable, safe, and helpful. I welcome the chance to work with you! I also lead 6 group sessions: Anxiety Reduction Tactics; Depression and BAT; Feeling Angry or Frustrated At times in Parenthood; Religious Confusion and Relation to Stress, Sadness, or Loss; Communication and Boundaries; and Genealogy: Family Relationships and Emotional Connections.

If you are seeking therapy, you have already been working so hard! It's time to try something different. I practice a therapy focusing on mindful awareness and living in the present; fully and peacefully experiencing life. As a result, clients experience symptom reduction and improvement in functioning. This therapy emphasizes values, forgiveness, acceptance, compassion, living in the present moment, and accessing a transcendent sense of self. This practice can often help people who have been unsuccessful with therapy in the past, have had a return of symptoms after repeated therapy, or are reluctant to engage in the therapeutic process. Using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and The Gottman Method, I am skilled at a variety of strategies to find a customized approach to meet your individual or relationship needs. Many people find relief from anger, anxiety, depression, substance or food cravings, and improved communication and connection in their relationships through this process. They also develop an improved relationship with themselves and an increased sense of peace and well-being. My aim is to provide you strategic tools that will allow you to quickly and permanently assist you in changing how you experience your circumstances and stressors, as well as improve your interactions with others. I look forward to working with you!

Understanding the type of therapy you'd like to search for is crucial before finding a therapist or psychologist in Marquette. Perhaps you're interested in narrowing your search for a psychotherapist that can offer psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral (CBT), talk therapy, provide group therapy, marriage and family therapy for individuals or couples, or couples therapy. Each type of support of this kind with BetterHelp therapists can offer various benefits and address or treat different disorders. If you're still unsure or are new to counseling in Marquette, feel free to contact the provider via email to find out which methods they practice.

It is also important to understand that mental health professionals in the United States are accredited to provide care, helping individuals and couples, with a variety of licenses for therapists. These include licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT), licensed clinical social worker (LCSW), and clinical psychologist or doctor of psychology (PsyD). Regardless of their licensure, they are trained able to treat individuals and couples counseling, and sometimes children, in any type of therapy in the Marquette region and in the state of Michigan. Find a therapist under any of these distinctions and know that the sessions they offer can provide a safe place to heal.

A mental health counselor working through their own in-person therapy practice in Marquette or online may assist clients in improving healthy relationships, communication skills, working through life transitions, couples counseling, managing a mood disorder, improving coping skills, self help tips, offer life coaching, family therapy, or change in negative thinking patterns. A Marquette therapist may also provide a safe place and validation for clients experiencing emotional pain, or that simply want a psychological assessment.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs) about therapists and mental health services

Some other commonly asked questions on therapy with a licensed counselor and BetterHelp serving the Marquette area can be found below:

How does the cost of in-person counseling with a therapist compare to the cost of BetterHelp with a licensed Marquette therapist?

The average price of an in-person therapy session in the US with most therapists is $100 to $200 per hour. These prices may be higher in Marquette due to a higher cost of living, and a limited number of therapists taking new clients. The price also depends on the type of provider you are looking for. See the following average prices for various mental health providers without insurance:

  • Counseling with a psychiatrist: $150-$500
  • Counseling with therapists: $100-300
  • Therapy with a psychologist: $100

While many psychologists in Marquette may not take health insurance, some in the state of Michigan may work on a sliding scale, meaning they'll factor in your income and charge what you can afford per session. With a BetterHelp therapist throughout the state of Michigan you can expect significantly more affordable options, with therapists sessions ranging from $65 to $100 per week (billed every four weeks). 

How is a licensed therapist on this Marquette online therapy platform verified?

Therapists in Marquette, Michigan working on BetterHelp are licensed, trained, experienced, and accredited as a doctor of psychology (PhD / PsyD), licensed marriage and family therapists (LMFT), licensed clinical social worker (LCSW / LICSW), or licensed professional counselors (LPC). All of these psychology clinicians have a Masters Degree or a Doctorate Degree in their field of psychology sciences, and follow the APA Code of Ethics. Therapists have been qualified and certified by their state's professional board after successfully completing the necessary education, exams, training and practice with a patient, and extensive experience in a healthcare clinic or treatment centers, in order to become a mental health provider. While their lived experience, expertise, careers, and background vary, therapists here all possess at least 3 years and 1,000 hours of hands-on experience with adult and sometimes teen patients, and have the necessary therapist credentials to provide a safe space for long lasting emotional healing in therapy. 

Please note BetterHelp does not offer or provide care from Marquette psychiatrists to prescribe a drug or medication as treatment, or perform psychological assessments and other psychiatric services.

How do I know if online counseling is right for my family in Marquette?

One of the potentially rewarding aspects of working with a Marquette therapist is the validation and active listening they can provide. Your friends and loved ones may also be available to listen, but you may feel that they may lack the skills to provide objective guidance. Counselors and therapists are trained to respond to various concerns, symptoms, and mental health conditions.

Therapists in your city can support you toward a healthier emotional state, regardless of your mental health, life concerns, or healing needs. While supporting individuals in developing healthier habits, another good benefit of Marquette therapy is having an understanding, safe space with a non-judgmental party who can support you through challenging experiences.

Many people have sensitive topics that they may feel ashamed to discuss with their friends or partner. A Marquette therapist can help you confront these concerns and open up through unique methods of support. There are also many types of therapy, such as art therapy, where you may find you can express yourself through creativity instead of words with a psychotherapist.

With a lot of people in MI, therapists may be booked out with clients. Through the list of profiles or therapists above and others within BetterHelp's team, you may be able to find a psychologist within 24 to 48 hours. If you're searching to find a a nearby psychotherapist close to 49855 or the surrounding zip codes, consider others available through the BetterHelp site where you can schedule a session based on your and the therapist's schedule. No matter if you are seeking help from therapists in your area or beyond, online therapy can be a great option.

How should I prepare for my first therapy session with a Marquette counselor?

Before seeing your Marquette therapist, prep for your session by reading to understand the process. You might write a list of questions you want to ask your psychotherapist, any emotional pain you may feel, and the ways in which you hope to improve. When you attend your session, you can let our therapists know if you have any concerns or feel unsure about what to talk about. Marquette therapists here may help guide you with open-ended therapeutic questions while offering mental health services. The first session will often serve as an intake to get to know you as a person and learn why you're attending therapy.

Should I find a therapist or psychologist for therapy if I feel fine? 

Some simply don't feel the need to see a psychologist. However, some people may avoid attending therapy due to stigma or preconceived notions of what it might entail. Although psychologists often support people with mental health conditions, you do not need a diagnosis or specific condition. You can discuss grief, relationship concerns, stress, or life changes and ask for general feedback. A Marquette licensed clinical social worker may help you gain power over your life and emotions while you navigate day-to-day experiences.

Gaining a new perspective on yourself through various therapies might allow you to improve your self-esteem, work through relationships, and gain a better sense of your mental health goals. The success you may find with a Marquette counselor can be dependent on your process.

People may also attend therapy for specific motives, such as bullying, an autism diagnosis, a desire to learn mindfulness meditation, personality concerns, trouble with office workers, specific phobias, and many other principles that a counselor can help with.

Is mental health care and therapy with a therapist worth it?

Therapy with a licensed counselor is effective and has the power to change individuals' lives. Each client is at a different stage of their emotional healing journey in life, as each human can be unique in their personality, expression, skills, and goals. A psychologist can target various symptoms, experiences, and personalities to help you feel your best and put you on the path to healing. Unlike advice from a friend, family, or non-professional, a mental health therapist has an understanding of various disorders like ADHD and depression with many hours of experience in treating adults in their practice. For this reason, seeing an evidence based psychologist in Marquette, Michigan can be worth it. Over 41 million adults in the US attend therapy services each year, showing it's a popular option and is proven to be effective.

Marquette has many clinicians who practice person or client-centered individual therapy in-person and through online sessions to assist clients in their healing journey. If you opt into online therapy, you might also be able to meet with providers all over the United States and change therapists easily at any time. Many people struggling with anxiety and depression, substance abuse, body image issues, and more find therapists that are a good fit for them, feel supported, and gain further insight into their lives through internet-based therapy.

Do therapists judge you in therapy sessions during telehealth appointments?

The boundaries between you and a therapist are in place to help you and them regarding ethical concerns. Mental health professionals are held by ethical standards through the American Psychological Association (APA) and are not allowed to judge or harm their clients. If you are concerned about sharing details about yourself, feel free to withhold personal information. Their job in the therapeutic relationship is to create a safe place, help you gain a deeper understanding of your mental health, and support you. You might consider changing counselors if you don't feel safe or respected.
