EMDR Therapists in Michigan

Life is not always easy, but if you are willing to invest in yourself, your mental wellbeing, or even spiritual growth, the transformation you’ll see will be well worth the healthier you.

I thoroughly enjoy helping clients to be authentically themselves within a safe and comfortable space. Each person is unique in their own way, and because of this they may need a unique approach in therapy. I look at the therapeutic relationship as a team, we can collaborate together to work on any issues that may be troublesome. Transparency is an important part of the therapeutic relationship, and I encourage it on both sides in order to create a non-judgmental space.

I believe in the transformative power of understanding one's emotional responses in order to create lasting and meaningful change. I hope to provide my clients with a foundation of knowledge to help them understand the mechanisms behind their responses and how, with time and intention, they can be changed. I pride myself on my communication skills and seek to provide objective and relatable feedback that clients find easy to understand and implement. Because of this, I find I work well with clients who value learning as a catalyst for change.

My mission is to help my clients build a fulfilling and joyful life by overcoming their shame, smallness, and fear. Like you, my clients struggled with depression and anxiety despite being hardworking, capable, and appear to have it all together. Life is hard. Sometimes the strongest among us, need a little help. You may have tried therapy before, but need to go deeper in your healing. You may fear this pattern is what life is supposed to be. It doesn't have to be. I provide a holistic and integrative approach to healing helping you overcome your challenges and live the life you want to live.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, stressed out and having difficulty coping?

We will work together to help you find your way through this time in your life, to find more balance, ease and peace within yourself, your relationships and your life.

Taking the first steps towards seeking therapy can be a very difficult decision. Acknowledging there is something about you or your life that you would like to change or improve can be scary.

I will provide a safe, supportive space for you, your child or your family to work towards reaching goals for growth and improvement. While working with me, you will be in a safe and supportive space that is judgement free. I belief that through hard work and motivation any family and/or individual can make the changes they strive for.

Hello wonderful Being, it is my privilege to walk with you on your path of healing. I have worked with people from all walks of life and am oriented towards helping those struggling with stress, anxiety, trauma, and self-esteem. I consider myself a holistic therapist and aim to educate my clients on their nervous systems and the impact of trauma.

The ideal person to meet with me is somebody who struggles with trauma and is struggling to overcome the wounds left by the trauma. People struggling with trauma can be people struggling with symptoms from PTSD or developmental traumas. PTSD typically includes people who have experienced or witnessed deadly events or sexual trauma. People with developmental trauma include people who did not experience an organized and loving attachment with their caregivers while they were growing up. In therapy, we work together to identify interventions that meet their specific needs.

Are you concerned about the well-being of your child, adolescent, or even yourself? Do you wish to provide your loved ones with the support and care they deserve?

My primary objective is to empower children, teens, and adults to achieve their utmost potential within a nurturing and compassionate atmosphere.

Hello, I'm glad you're here. My goal as a counselor is to provide you with a safe and compassionate space where you can find peace, healing, and hope. While this journey is yours, you do not have to face it alone. I have worked with children, adolescents, adults and families in a variety of settings including home, community, residential, and outpatient. I am trained in EMDR, which has been deemed effective in treating many areas of personal distress such as anxiety, and PTSD. I have also received specialized training in the treatment of Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders (commonly referred to as postpartum depression or anxiety).

I have extensive experience working with various types of trauma. I am trained in Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) as well as Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR). I work with children, adolescents, and adults.

I start with a person centered approach which includes genuiness, empathy and unconditional positive regard. Once we develop a strong therapeutic relationship other techniques will be added as necessary.

Do you struggle with anxiety, depression, stress, relationship problems, anger issues? Negative thoughts or traumatic events, small or large, can shape the way you view yourself and those around you, which can lead to a multitude of mental health issues. These often include depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, substance abuse, relationship difficulties and other mental health problems. Everyone deserves a life worth living. Unresolved trauma or unaddressed mental health issues can prevent that from happening. I work exclusively with adult clients.

The thought of someone being upset with you makes your skin crawl. Another day gone by where you kept your thoughts to yourself to keep the peace. Big emotions and conflict feel dangerous and you fear as soon as you say what you’re feeling, people will judge and leave you. Being agreeable and going along with what others want feels like the safest way to live. You're spending the day replaying convos in your head, questioning if you said the wrong thing and worrying if that person is mad at you. You're exhausted from always apologizing, but backing down would cause conflict and you'd be seen as a problem for others.

I specialize working with LGBTQIA+ teens and adults as well as anyone struggling with relationship conflict, self-esteem, anxiety, or depression. I have experience in the past working with self-harm, personality disorders, trauma, grief, stress and life transitions, ADHD, domestic violence and sexual assault. I provide a person-centered approach, which means that I will meet you wherever you are, and we will set goals that are realistic to what you can manage. I know therapy sounds intimidating at first, but I will walk with you on your journey toward growth.

I've been described as compassionate and warm, open to everyone.

I focus on creating a safe and trusting relationship with each client, working collaboratively to help meet their goals and experience transformation.
