ADHD Therapists in Paw, MI

Hello! Thank you for stopping by. I am a Social Worker and therapist with 20 years experience in the mental health field. What sets me apart though? I have a very passionate, upbeat personality that shines through in my practice. I work hard to help my clients see the strength they already have within and that I am just a facilitator to help them achieve any goal they set forth for themselves. I am honest and "real". I would be happy to chat with you about your goals and how we can work to achieve them together!

I am a Limited Licensed Counselor, and a Limited Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I have over 5 years of experience working with individuals from various backgrounds. I work with clients age 13 and up and specialize in anxiety disorders, trauma, creating healthy boundaries, and marriage, couple, and family therapy.

As an LMSW with several years of experience, I have developed a balanced, relationship-driven, and creative approach to working with individuals and families from diverse populations. I have extensive experience working with children, adults, and families with various concerns including mood disorders, eating disorders, ADHD, and dual diagnosis. While I do not subscribe to any one modality of treatment, I have training and experience in utilizing Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), expressive arts therapies, and holistic approaches.

I believe counseling can bring you a greater understanding and acceptance of yourself. Counseling provides you with an opportunity for self-growth and development. I strive to create a safe and non-judgmental environment in which you can explore the issues that are holding you back from being your best self. I have experience working with individuals struggling with a wide range of issues such as, self-esteem issues, emotional control, relational problems, anxiety, parenting, depression, and trauma.

As long as you have breath in your body, there will always be a need to talk to someone about life. What if we told you there is a difference between talking to someone and sharing your life experiences? As your therapist, it is important to express yourself in the best way you know how. It’s important that your decisions are respected in a safe space, so you feel comfortable, healthy and happy. It is our goal to empower you to engage in healthy behaviors through challenging alternative thoughts to increase your capability to recover from difficulties. we are in this with you. We celebrate your joys and process tough times with you.

Trauma leaves us feeling broken, damaged, and disconnected from our true selves. You may be fed up with feeling triggered in everyday situations, isolated from people who don't understand, or guilty over what happened to you. You may not even remember a time you didn’t feel like this. Either way, one thing is for sure: you’re ready for some relief. You’re ready to enjoy deep relationships without the past getting in the way. You’re ready to wake up each morning with purpose. Most of all, you’re ready to move forward with a sense of empowerment and get back to feeling like yourself again.

Compassion and supportive listening is often missing when going through difficult circumstances. People sometimes feel alone and don't know where to turn. I consider it a privilege to offer a safe place for individuals facing adversity to explore their strengths and areas of needed growth. Understanding that communicating past hurtful events, thoughts and feelings can leave one feeling vulnerable. I strive to create a safe judgement free environment where people can develop a deeper understanding of self and help them gain the tools they need to create the life they desire. Motivated clients who are willing to work will succeed.

Therapy is hard. My job is to make you feel confident with your decision to reach out for help while guiding you through your own personal growth and healing. Healing from trauma will be the hardest and most worthwhile decision of your life, and you do not have to go through it alone. I offer individual therapy for adolescents and adults in a LGBTQ+ open and affirming practice. Please reach out if you would like to connect about the therapy process.

Hello and welcome! I am a doctorate level clinical psychologist specializing in adults experiencing anxiety, depression, and relationship issues. A highly-sensitive person (HSP) and empath myself, I am enthusiastic to work with clients who share these ‘superpowers’ which at times can feel burdensome. Beyond symptom relief, I seek to uncover your “origin story" as this promotes longer-lasting outcomes as well as opportunities for healing and self-discovery. My ongoing commitment to my own personal growth and therapy distinguishes me from other therapists, resulting in an elevated therapy experience and overall quality of care.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, confused, and/or unsure? As a licensed clinical therapist I can help you address these feelings by using a variety of therapeutic methods to help you gain an understanding of the root cause of your concerns, develop healthy coping techniques, & enhance overall mental health. I specialize in working with children and adults who experienced trauma, struggle with anxiety, depression, behavioral issues, trouble concentrating, irritability, anger, or overall life dissatisfaction.

Life's challenges can become overwhelming and we can feel anxious, hopeless, depressed, and simply stuck.

I strive to help people achieve their goals, whatever they might be. I provide a caring, comfortable, and safe environment where we can work together. I want people to be able to share their thoughts, feelings, and ideas and work diligently to create the setting that supports that. I hope to provide people with the resources and information necessary for them to make changes and improve their life. I am very passionate about my work and look forward to the opportunity of helping people with their struggles and difficulties. My ultimate goal is to help people lead healthy, productive, and fulfilling lives.

Therapy can be a great tool utilized to gain an outside perspective and possible new insights to the issues you are focused on resolving. Life is complicated and complex. It can be a great benefit to have someone that you can explore your thoughts with, without the worry of bias. Therapy can look very different for each person or couple and can be set up in a way that makes the patient feel comfortable. My goal is to create a comfortable atmosphere in which everyone can feel at ease exploring their goals and how their actions are helping or stopping progress. Goals may be related to an emotion, a difficult situation or other areas.

I have been practicing clinical social work with children, adults and adolescents for twenty-five years. I strive to provide treatment that is supportive, accepting and one that encourages each individual's unique personal exploration and growth. I use a relaxed, interactive and educational approach to treating depression, anxiety, trauma, addiction and recovery, co-occurring disorders, parenting/family support and adjustment to life transitions.

I work with children and young adults who are facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, academic stress, social difficulties, or family issues. I work to provide a safe and supportive environment where they can express themselves, build resilience, and develop healthy coping skills. My client's goals may include improving self-esteem, managing emotions, building positive relationships, and achieving academic success. I will provide a space where they feel understood, empowered, and equipped with tools to navigate life's ups and downs. Ultimately, empowering those I work with to thrive and reach their full potential.
