Therapists in Fenton, MI

Accepting new clients! Now offering Walk and Talk therapy for in-person services! There are many reasons you or your family may be seeking additional support right now. Maybe you or your child are experiencing anxiety, persistent sadness, behavioral problems, divorce/separation, difficulties in the school setting, or you are just looking for extra support to navigate a major life decision or hardship. I am here to listen and help you take the first steps to accessing the support you need.

Together we can identify past trauma(s), make connections between past and present, and identify relevant patterns. This process will allow you to understand anxious and/or traumatic responses and do the work to allow those parts of you to heal. I specialize in trauma, complex trauma, dissociation, anxiety, stress, and depression. I often utilize IFS/parts work, DBT, and TF-CBT, and Somatic therapy models with my clients. My goal is to help you grow, become your personal best, and to help you heal from challenging and difficult experiences-both past and present. It is important to know that you are never alone.

I understand and I am here for you! Whether you are a kid, teen, adult, or senior, I can help you feel better and achieve your goals.

Being a teenager is harder than ever. The demands of school, friends, parents, sports, and social media are all vying for attention. In addition to all those responsibilities, adolescents are also going through the necessary and difficult process of figuring out who they are. They are setting the direction for their lives, defining their goals, and developing their identity. This is a daunting task and can bring up a lot of emotions. Parents often see this manifesting itself through anger, depression, anxiety, or high-risk behaviors.

My clients say things like...I am overwhelmed with stress. My anxiety is out of control. Does depression ever get better? I want to die. How did my relationship end up here? When does the pain of loss stop? Why can't my kids, spouse, ex just cooperate? My teenager is out of control. My parents just don't get it! The flashbacks are real. Will it ever get any better? Real people. Real-life. Real issues. Talking to someone helps. That is why I am here.

Welcome, I am glad you are here! A majority of my clinical experience has been centered around children and families within a wide range of backgrounds.

I believe that life circumstances, environmental factors and genetics can all play a part in a person’s life. If you are looking to address things that are interfering with your life, I can help! Therapy should never be a punishment and is a powerful process that together, we will persevere.

The deepest goal of counseling is learning about yourself by teaching me about you. This idea can be daunting. You might be asking yourself, “What will I learn? Am I ready? What will this journey be like?” Sometimes starting the process is the hardest part! The beauty of counseling is that the journey doesn’t have to be taken alone. When you find a therapist that fits well, it can feel less like stumbling through a dark forest and more like forging a path of your own. No matter what brings you to therapy, feeling empowered, safe, and understood through the process can make all the difference in the world.

Starting therapy can be daunting, but you don’t have to go through it alone. My goal as a therapist is to foster a safe, non-judgmental space that allows you to gain insight into your presenting concerns and facilitates progress towards a healthy, meaningful life. Therapy is not one size fits all. I believe in an integrative collaborative counseling approach, pulling from a variety of evidence based research that tailors treatment to each individual’s preferences, values, and goals.

It takes courage in recognizing the first step in your journey to healing. Making that initial call and asking for mental support can be daunting, but it is a journey you will continue to grow from throughout your life. I believe there must be a level of comfort and connection between therapist and client in order to feel emotionally safe and vulnerable. Together, we will work on creating a strong alliance that is built on trust, respect, and compassion. Recovery can be challenging, and may feel impossible- creating the space you need to explore your thoughts and behaviors can help you process where your feelings are coming from.
