I have seen people struggle for years with depression and/or anxiety caused by negative thoughts we have about ourselves from things we have been through in life, some things big and bad, others unintentional or seemingly benign. While we all experience challenges in life, you don't deserve to suffer and I can/want to help you find that relief. Medication helps, but is not the answer to long term recovery. Regular talk therapy can also be helpful, but often is not effective for recovery. EMDR therapy has been the most hopeful service for long term recovery I have found and the benefits can be physiologically understood.

I have been in private practice since 1992. Prior to earning my doctorate in clinical psychology, I was an elementary school teacher for seven years. About 70 percent of my current practice is with children and teens and 30 percent with adults, families, and couples. I absolutely love my vocation! I am privileged to join people on their journeys, to meet them where they are and go from there. I am committed to partnering with my patients to help them reach their full potential. I place a high value on the therapeutic relationship.

Are you struggling with your moods on a daily basis? Struggling to maintain healthy relationships? Unsure if your drinking or recreational drug use is a problem? As a Licensed Master of Social Work, and Certified Advanced Addictions and Drug Counselor, I can help you sort through the chaos and confusion, and find a path that feels right for you. I work from an eclectic therapeutic approach developed through my years of training and experience as a counselor/therapist.

Hello, I'm Kathy and I am a fully licensed professional counselor in Michigan. My specialty is anxiety and depression but I also enjoy work with individuals experiencing transitional issues. I offer counseling for clients from preteen through adulthood and work with individuals and couples. I use different types of therapies including traditional and equine-assisted therapy. I am also able to do evaluation and assessments for anxiety and depression.

Everyone experiences life struggles. I believe clients come to therapy already equipped with the tools and skills to make change and therapy is a tool to help accomplish that goal. I specialize in helping individuals who struggle with depression, anxiety, substance use, trauma, and other needs. I have worked with adults, children, adolescents, and families for 15 years, and take great joy in seeing change happen in the lives of others. I believe in a client-centered approach, which means you are the expert of your own life, and I am a facilitator in helping you accomplish your own goals.

I believe that every person possesses the solutions they are searching for they just need someone to help them “mine” the answers. My role as a therapist is to help you find your answers, the answers that work for you and your life. I view myself as your companion on the journey towards the answers that you are searching for. I’ll challenge you and your thoughts by asking questions and offering varying perspectives while at the same time respecting you as the expert on your own life. I provide support, not judgement, as you work towards finding your own answers.

Thank you for visiting my profile! Multiple factors play a role in how we react and interact in the world in which we live. I work to develop a positive therapeutic relationship to better understand those factors and to help to identify strengths each individual brings to therapy. I want to support each individual in creating clear therapeutic goals and developing the best way to reach those goals.

I believe most people have the power to manage their own lives effectively given the right tools, encouragement, and help with the courage to make changes needed to move forward. The population I enjoy serving the most are children, teenagers, and their parents. I do not discriminate against other adults, of course. Children and teenagers are facing unimaginable difficulties including learning challenges (ADHD, Dyslexia), anger, behavioral difficulties, depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, and eating disorders just to name a few. It is my desire to assist your child, teenager, or yourself with the unique journey of life.

Empowerment is a term that I find incredibly important and is the essence that drives my work with each individual. Providing hope to clients who are struggling by empowering them and encouraging them to grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ is the foundation by which change happens. Change is difficult, but it is more bearable when you have someone helping you along your journey. I enjoy working with children, adolescents, and adults. I specialize in treating anxiety and depression, difficult relationships, ministry and gender and sexuality issues, mood dysregulation, cultural challenges, autism spectrum disorder and ADHD.

If you are a teenager, young adult, parent, or spouse you may often experience stress in your life. You may feel less connected, misunderstood, and overwhelmed with work or school. Although some stress is healthy, too much stress makes it even more challenging to create solutions and work through problems. Whatever the issue is, you would like to feel more connected and valued in your relationships, improve your ability to manage your stress and solve problems, overcome previous barriers, and have a better sense of who you are.
