I want to help clients whom are receptive to growth. My hope is to create mutual respect with clients and provide a safe time and space for clients to effectively evaluate issues.

James spent ten years providing outpatient services where he observed that mental illness and chemical dependence issues, otherwise known as “co-occurring disorders” were low priority. Agencies seldom have time and resources to focus on one or the other, let alone “both” sides of the mental health and substance dependence matter. James became a social worker to work for change, and this dichotomy was unacceptable. Reliance was born out of this frustration as a possible solution for the those that it is able to serve. Substance use, mental health, or spiritual change are all goals Reliance will seek to facilitate alongside you.

My philosophy about helping others is to understand that each person is an expert of his or her own life. My work is to help that person to acknowledge his/her own potential and to guide that person to live purposeful, successful, enjoyable and fulfilled life. I firmly believe that people have the right to live the best life possible. I provide a safe and supporting environment for my clients as I encourage them to discover their passions and work with them to achieve their goals.

I am a counselor in Michigan with 15+ years of experience providing counseling to families and individuals across the lifespan in-person, on the phone, and online formats. I have worked with clients on a wide range of issues from life adjustments to severe and persistent mental illness. I am a special needs parent, with a young adult son with Autism; and another young adult daughter that is LGBTQ+. Clients often find me to be very relatable because of the combination of my professional and personal experiences.

Taking that first brave step toward healing can feel intimidating at first. In order to be successful on your journey to better mental health, you need to feel safe and supported. It is my privilege to provide that to the individuals I serve as a mental health therapist. I strive to ensure my clients feel heard, understood, and learn healthy coping skills needed to navigate past trauma, relationships, anxiety, depression, or daily stressors.

My ideal client would be someone who recognizes that something in their life needs to change whether within themselves or their environment. They may be struggling with difficulties with mood, relationships, trauma, addiction or simply trying to make personal improvements in their lives. They understand that the therapeutic process is a partnership with a willingness to do some personal work while I walk along side them as we work together to create the change in their life they are seeking. I am registered with Better Help and also take a number of private pay clients.

The general goal is to assist the client in identification of issues, develop a plan of action, and to gain motivation to implement that plan. This is a very personal process. It is educational and developmental by nature. The counselor is the facilitator of the process that helps the client take responsibility and action to come to a resolution.

Do you experience negative thoughts about yourself, frequent worries about the future, or maybe even become so numb that you feel nothing at all? I believe that everyone has some sort of trauma from their past that continues to affect their well-being and relationships with others. I will be curious about what you are showing up to therapy with; because I believe that our symptoms tell a story. They tell us what helped us to survive in a sometimes harsh and unjust world, but maybe no longer serve us. In order words, the things we do that once protected us, are usually the same things that hold us back today.

It is my goal to create an environment for others to learn how to hope, cope and achieve. I use a variety of therapeutic techniques tailored to my client's specified needs. Together we can find solutions in order to manage emotions, increase communication, build self-esteem, encouraging growth and identifying strengths.
