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.
