Grief Therapists in Milan, MI

My main focus is on the importance of emotional wellbeing. I believe that everyone experiences difficulties in their lives and see the counseling office as a space for clients to express and normalize difficult feelings in a safe environment. I believe that people have all of the components for a happy and healthy life but sometimes need help processing and navigating through their feelings and experiences to learn new and more effective ways to cope. I operate through the Polyvagal Theory lens to assess emotional regulation and work to stabilize and co-regulate clients as this is essential to healing.

Psychotherapy can help. At its heart, psychotherapy is about listening. And you, feeling truly heard in a new, and refreshing way. As a therapist I strive to listen with compassion and interest to help my clients hear their own voice. Reflected, this offers possibilities for greater self understanding, change, and new direction. The therapeutic relationship serves as a catalyst for the positive changes that you as a client seek.

Are you having difficulty managing your anxiety or moving forward in your grief? You feel overwhelmed and unsure of what to do. The Negative Committee inside your head won't shut up & sit down. You want to break free from self-doubt, overthinking, people-pleasing. You are harder on yourself than on others. You worry when you don't have anything to worry about. You've experienced a loss & wonder how life will ever feel normal again. You're struggling to make sense of this loss. You don't know what the "new normal" is & want the old one back. You feel paralyzed, depressed, relieved, guilty in your grief all at the same time.

I specialize in treating trauma, grief&loss, and anxiety. Unresolved trauma can create invisible emotional wounds. The deep emotional scarring of these wounds can negatively impact both personal and professional lives. Early trauma is often at the root of mental illness, including depression and anxiety. I specialize in providing trauma focused therapy solutions. In my office, you will find a safe space where you can express yourself and move toward your desired goals in a healthy and healing way. Our relationship will be built on the four pillars of healing: trust, safety, support and hope.

"Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?" (Mary Oliver) -- This question lies at the heart of my work, with my goal being to help clients live more authentic and connected lives through self-awareness, resilience and positive change. My approach is flexible, interactive and solution-oriented. I bring a mindful perspective to psychotherapy and tend to see life transitions as opportunities for transformation and growth. My clients have said that my calm demeanor and my careful, empathic listening promote a safe and reflective environment, fostering self-compassion, self-awareness and change.

My ideal client is YOU. Yes, because you're currently seeking support and are courageous enough to take the biggest step. My ideal client is someone seeking to evolve, grow and work on themselves. If you're feeling like you're not growing in some area of your life, then let's work on a growth plan. Counseling is an opportunity for you to have a supportive, confidential, and safe place to discuss your concerns, increase knowledge about yourself, perceived challenges and strengthen you.
