Petoskey, MI 49770
I have a MA from the University of Michigan in child development and a second MA and PhD from Walden University in clinical psychology.
Let my many years of knowledge and experience help you. In these challenging times maybe you feel as though there is no one you can talk to, no one who would understand what you are going through. Perhaps this is a new feeling or one that you have struggled with for years. If you have difficulty coping with daily stresses, managing conflicts, grief, loss, or struggling with relationships, I can help. When experiencing such difficulties a trained professional like myself may be needed to help.

Overwhelmed with parenthood? Struggling to understand your child’s behavior? Dealing with postpartum depression? You probably imagined parenthood looking quite different. There is no easy fix for managing anxiety surrounding pregnancy, the postpartum period, or infant/early childhood challenges. There is no instruction manual to open when your child is struggling with anxiety, behavioral challenges, or a developmental delay. Your parental instinct is simply to help your baby get better. Whether that baby is an infant, toddler, or school-aged, your goal is to get to the root of the struggle - and ensure a successful & happy future.

I have been working in the education system for twenty years. During that time, I have learned that most children and adolescents just want to be heard. With all of the pressures and expectations put on children and adolescents today, they need a safe space to talk about what is going on in their homes, schools, neighborhoods and inside their heads.

My approach to therapy is rooted in understanding, compassion, and evidence-based techniques. Being with me feels relaxed, approachable, and genuine, much like a comforting chat over coffee.

I have been working as a clinical mental health therapist for more than 20 years. I have a specialty degree in Child and Adolescent Counseling and enjoy working with adults as well. I believe in building positive coping skills, resiliency, and a positive outlook on life by having clients be an active part of their treatment. Using behavioral, cognitive-behavioral, and play therapy techniques (for children) are some of the ways I can help clients achieve their goals. For my adult clients, I help identify areas where change has been difficult. From there we build confidence and reachable goals to make positive behavioral changes.

Sometimes life is so painful that even remembering reasons to stay alive can be very difficult. Life situations, such as grief or traumatic events, can cause day to day functioning to feel insurmountable. Finding coping skills and solutions happens when you have the freedom to talk about anxiety, grief, depression, trauma and suicide with the help of a skilled clinician who is comfortable working with it all -- and who understands, when working with youth, the importance of coaching parents so that they feel prepared to help their child through an emotionally difficult time.

I graduated from Walden University with a Master’s of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I incorporate CBT, play therapy interventions, expressive arts, and integrative therapeutic orientations. I don't hav an ideal client because every single client is different. What works for one client won't work for every client. I am able to work closely with you and your child to make sure everyone feels involved and heard in the therapeutic relationship.

Child Therapists
Child psychologists in Michigan provide mental health therapy to children and are experts in child development.
Every comprehensive review of therapy with children shows that all credible approaches, when performed by a competent mental health clinician, produce almost the same results. About half of all kids will get better. Of those that improve, 80% will show progress in a relatively short time (likely in fewer than six sessions), the remaining 20% will need longer-term support.
The best child therapists in Michigan build great relationships with the child and the parent. They also see the child's strengths and are open to hearing the child's possible solutions to the challenges the child faces. Finally, a good therapist appreciates the child's culture and is sensitive to the values of the child's community.
