Existential Therapists in Wyandotte, MI

I find art therapy to be a versatile tool to help manage an array of symptoms/distress in a way that does not always require speaking. If it is not time to talk about something, but you do want to overcome distress or begin to change your mindset, we can find ways to make art about it. Art can be a powerful tool capable of manifesting dreams and confronting nightmares. You don’t have to be a Picasso or experienced with art to benefit from art therapy. Sometimes, the process of art making can be enough. I have strong values in cultural competence and experience helping individuals manage anxiety, depression, grief, ADHD and more.

We all experience difficulties and crises in our lives. You may be having difficulty with a life transition, grief and loss, issues related to adverse childhood experiences, relationship issues, or anxiety and/or depression from a source you are unable to identify. You do not have to face these issues alone, and I believe that I can help guide you to the other side of whatever struggle or pain it is that you are facing. Regardless of age, we all continue to have periods of growth, struggle, and change. The best way to grow and to heal is in an atmosphere of nonjudgmental, warmth and compassion, which I believe I can provide.

We live in a world where social media and feeling the need to present the perfect picture of one's life has left many people feeling alone and empty. I believe every person can dive within and find true happiness if they allow themselves to. When you find yourself in need of help with those hard moments in life, it can be beneficial to find a professional to guide you on your path. No one knows yourself better than you do, and my degree doesn't make me an expert on you, but it can helpme to help you manage core troubling issues of trauma, anxiety, depression, social phobia, grief, life transitions and relationship issues.

Through our lifetimes we are confronted with many obstacles, challenges and decisions. In the process of becoming the best you, guidance and support can be truly beneficial. Self-discovery through therapy can be an empowering and enlightening process. Incorporating my life and work experience, combined with a safe and supportive space, my hope is to help guide you through the challenges of life.

I believe in the healing potential of creative expression. In therapy, engaging in mindful art-making can help to process and express inner experiences or to communicate when words are not enough. I’ve witnessed art-making serve as a powerful tool to process grief and loss, to create meaning through storytelling, and to assist clients in gaining personal clarity. I take a client-centered approach to therapy and adapt my treatment modality to a client’s individual goals and preferences.

I believe that every person has the ability to change & grow, & I think the best way to help someone grow is through therapy. I work with adults only (ages 18 & up) and focus on the clients needs as well as areas in which they want to grow and improve. I believe that with guidance it is possible to heal wounds created throughout the course of ones life. I have worked with many clients over the years who feel stuck and unsure how or what to do to feel better and get out of their "rut." If you're struggling to find meaning or if you feel as though your life is not how you imagined it would be, please email me to set up an appointment.

I strive to create a safe growth-oriented space for clients to explore their thoughts and emotions, working to uncover behavior patterns and gain insights into past experiences. I encourage clients to draw from their own strengths and resilience. Working collaboratively with my clients, I aim to foster new perspectives, increase self-awareness, and equip my clients with tools to create lasting change in their lives. I work with individuals, families, and couples grappling with various obstacles, including depression, trauma, anxiety, adjustment issues, chronic illnesses, low -esteem, and persistent mental health conditions.

Did you know that trauma is stored in your body and mind? And it can lead to many other symptoms that you may be seeking therapy for right now, such as depression, anxiety and stress. I love helping people learn more about this and get reconnected with themselves in order to process and heal trauma. I'm drawn to somatic (body-based) approaches as well as getting to know the different parts of yourself and learning to accept them all. I also have many years of experience providing neurodiversity-affirming therapy.

My practice is devoted to therapy for girls and women. Women face many unique challenges and experiences throughout life. Increased demands affect our ability to live authentically, balance needs, and enjoy experiences. Stress impacts how we feel about and care for ourselves. I will partner with you to identify barriers gain insight, and find new ways of coping.
