Therapists in Canton, MI

We deserve joy and fulfillment in our lives and at times it is hard to reach. Sometimes we need to access deeper parts of ourselves to heal traumatic experiences. This is why I often use experiential therapies in my practice. These are therapies that focus on the way it feels to experience your emotions, not just think about them. When we talk about tough topics, we may focus on what your body feels like, what memories or images come to mind, or how old it makes you feel. We can do this through imagination, movement, or art.

I am focused on helping you live your best life, mentally, physically, spiritually, and culturally, to have a deeper connection with those around you, and finally begin the process of self-acceptance & healing. Why continue down the same path, only to yield the same results? Allow yourself the opportunity to heal, love, and grow.
