Christian Counseling Therapists in 49301

I believe that all clients come to counseling with a personal story that includes important relationships, significant events, and beliefs about themselves and the world. Counseling involves understanding how our stories shape the way we view ourselves, approach challenges, and relate to others. I feel privileged to listen to clients’ stories and help them work towards their own goals for wellness and change.

Let's get to work and get you where you want to be. I'm here to provide options, ideas, solutions, and the strategies to help get you there. I like to use the term "level up", as a description of honing the strengths and tools you already have. Together we can define and refine those skills you already have and also offer new approaches and mental tools that you can incorporate in your personal development journey. I use a combination of Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Motivational Interviewing in a strengths-based, solution focused format. Time to level up to your best self, you got this!

Trauma is often an isolating event and my goal as a therapist is to provide support to my clients and their families to bring healing and growth as they learn ways to integrate past experiences into their lives today. I am comfortable providing therapy for a variety of mental health needs, including anxiety, depression, and mood disorders. I have extensive experience working with children, adolescents and young adults who have experienced traumatic or difficult events in their lives.

As a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I often work with clients who are suffering from anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, life transitions, esteem issues, and relationship difficulties. I take a collaborative and relational approach to counseling. I can offer a warm and safe space for exploration and growth. The populations I am best suited to work with are individuals who are motivated toward healthier intrapersonal development, clients interested in creating stronger interpersonal connections, as well as women in destructive relationships.

I have 44 years experience in helping couples recover from affairs, manage conflict, improve communication and intimacy.

Do you find yourself often feeling anxious or struggling in relationships? Do you find it difficult to trust others, or maybe you trust too quickly? Perhaps you experience perfectionism, chronic people pleasing, or exceedingly high standards. Most often, these difficulties correspond to our personal life stories, upbringing, and past experiences. Over time, we develop ways of making life "work." How does this show up in your relationships, behaviors, and your mood? Let me help you identify your interpersonal safety patterns and core narratives. Together, we'll consider the connection between emotions, behavior, & relationships.

And who knows but that you have come to your position for such a time as this. -Esther 4:14 We are created to be in community and we were created at this time and in this place for a reason. While there are times when relationships need to end, many times we are just caught up in bad patterns that we have the power to change. When we change our communication patterns, learn to create and hold to boundaries, and learn to regulate our nervous systems we are more available to one another.

Being heard and validated are two of the most powerful avenues to feeling a sense of belonging and worth. Unfortunately, we run into situations in life that shut us down, tell us our life experience doesn't count, and we leave those situations feeling empty and uncertain about what we've done wrong. Through therapy, we learn to find ourselves through our values and we learn new skills to navigate the hills and valleys of life so that when those situations come up, we can come out of them stronger and more sure of ourselves. I look forward to walking that path alongside you while you discover how you can have a full life and thrive.

When life gets challenging, one of the best supports we can have is a safe space to process our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Whether you are in a season of difficult transition, emotional fatigue, or just feeling dissatisfied with some area of your life, counseling can be an excellent tool to help you be your best self. My job is to offer a safe, supportive environment where we can work through the struggles you are facing and find healthy and productive ways to heal and move forward.

While we can can't change the past, we can change destructive beliefs resulting from old hurts, traumas, and unmet childhood needs. Get ready to finally accept and love yourself and enjoy healthy, authentic relationships!
