Therapists in Michigan

If your tween (9-12) or teen (13-18) is having a hard time with… well life, I am here for them! I loves to work with tweens, teens, and families to help manage sticky situations like anxiety or depression, help with navigating relationships, managing stress, understanding big life changes, and much more. I believe that each person already has what they need to heal, but it sometimes our "okay-ness" gets stuck under layers of self-protection and hurt. I believe that therapy is a collaborative process that involves peeling back layers of protection so you and/or your teen can get back to your true authentic selves!

My targeted population includes tween, teens, and young adults. I enjoy working with clients that feel ready to work towards their goals and is here for themselves, not because someone is forcing them. I pull heavily from a strength-based approach to help clients use their resiliency to get through the inevitable ups and downs of life. I understand that therapy can be an uncomfortable and difficult journey for people. Because of this, I place a large emphasis on rapport building and work to balance going at your pace while also challenging you to embrace discomfort.

**I am doing telehealth and in person appointments. When you are faced with challenges, conflicts and loss, it can be difficult to overcome on your own. I believe we all have the strength and knowledge inside of us, we just need a little help finding it, and we all need someone with whom we can express ourselves. Life challenges can bring us to a place where support from a neutral and caring professional can make a needed difference. Counseling can help you get to a place of recovery, peace and empowerment.

As human beings, we are constantly striving toward becoming our most authentic selves.

I specialize in working with women who struggle with being the Good Girl. A "Good Girl" can be the current role of a child/adolescent or the Inner Child of an adult who filled this role growing up. She has a strong desire to be validated, valued, and approved of by others. She seeks this approval by meeting all expectations to the point of suppressing parts of their identity and emotions, conforming, and/or prioritizing the needs of others over self. The Good Girl is constantly pouring from an empty cup because she has been taught that this is how she will receive love.
