Therapists in Fenton, MI

Is your child having behavioral or emotional issues? Have you or your child experienced trauma? I am committed to helping children, adolescents and families through these challenges through evidence based, effective quality services. I work with clients of all ages who are struggling with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, or who have experienced trauma.

My primary specialties include LGBTQIA+, ADHD, & ASD related care. With both lived and hands-on experience, I bring my CBT training and intersectionality-focused perspectives to my sessions. My goal is to help each person I work with develop strong senses of self, self-confidence and self-love.

I believe that the most important component of therapy is the genuine connection that is formed between a client and their therapist. This connection forms the foundation for emotional growth and is the most important factor in achieving our goals in therapy. I have an innate ability to genuinely connect with people and provide them with unconditional positive acceptance and support.

*Now offering ADHD evaluations* My goal is to provide a relaxed environment where you feel free and supported to explore your thoughts and feelings. I work to help you recognize your true emotions that may be hiding behind initial reactions of defensiveness or anger. Together, we can identify maladaptive patterns of behavior that may be contributing to symptoms of depression or anxiety, or that may be creating barriers to communication. Identification of these patterns provides the opportunity to change them and ultimately find more joy in experiences, intimacy in relationships, and the ability to communicate effectively.

My time spent working in the school system gave me great insight into what young people face every day. I am passionate about children, adolescents, and their families. Many times, young individuals are unable to verbalize their feelings. Play therapy is a gift to your child, that will aid them in communicating and exploring their inner world and emotions. Toys are used as a voice. I am also passionate about communicating with families and seeing marriages succeed. I would love to help you navigate any issue you may be facing.

30+ years of professional experience and many more years of life experience have led me to EMDR.

As a counselor, my goal is to help people of all ages reach their full potential. I know that people pursue counseling for many different reasons and because no two individuals are the same, each person is as unique as the situations they encounter. Because there are many variables that affect people individually, strategies for the therapeutic relationship will differ on a case by case basis. I will use a variety of evidence-based counseling techniques and principles to help you in your counseling journey.

Through life you may feel as though you are in a constant fight with yourself. Where the history of your battles have not been won, but only suppressed. Overtime they are unknowingly disarmed and you find yourself walking across an unknown terrain that triggers you to fall apart. With this comes the ability to pick up your broken pieces and put them all back together healthily. What is great about being human is the ability to learn and grow.

Do you feel like things just don’t seem to work out for you at home, in the workplace or in social situations? Do you feel like you have tried different strategies but things just aren’t changing? Maybe it is time for a different perspective. I may be able to help you find the change you have been longing for to get your life back on track.
