Therapists in Lake Orion, MI

Many clients come in to work with me on issues with anxiety, depression, grief and loss, relationship issues, life adjustment issues, and more. Generally, people come in feeling overwhelmed with the challenges of life. Through therapy, we can discover new ways to approach situations that support your well-being, and help you understand yourself better while improving your ability to thrive.

I work with a broad range of issues including depression, anxiety, and life changes. Most importantly, I work with you as a whole-person and strive to address all of the factors impacting your wellbeing. Finding the balance between easing symptoms and developing a more meaningful life is a hallmark of my approach. Often, it can be difficult to open-up and feel vulnerable; I do my best to help you feel comfortable expressing yourself. Many of my client's describe me as gentle and easy to talk to. Out of anything I can offer as a therapist, I believe this is the most important.

Wanting to make a change in your life but not knowing where or how to start feels overwhelming. The feelings of fear, uncertainty and anxiety that often come along with this is daunting.

Helping individuals realize their potential and strengths to help them help themselves is what I am passionate about.

Hello! I first learned that I wanted to become a therapist after receiving therapy for myself in order to process a history of traumatic experiences and grief. I share this confidently, because no one should feel alone or ashamed to seek support. This led me to Oakland University to study social work and live on campus among the international student community, which then inspired me to learn Spanish and study abroad.

I view therapy/counseling as a way to express your thoughts and feelings without judgement or biases. Each client we treat, should feel safe, free, respected, and comfortable. I enjoy working with individuals to improve their life situations, regardless of where they are coming from, or where they plan to go in the therapeutic journey.

Living life with anxiety, depression, being an overthinker, disorganized, being forgetful, feeling misunderstood, having lack of motivation or initiation in starting tasks, impatience, impulsiveness, endless worry about the what ifs, analysis paralysis, mood swings, feeling completely inadequate or different from your counterparts can be really really difficult, it can make you feel less than when you really are so much more than your set of symptoms. One focus of my practice is to assist both children and ADULTS with diagnosed or undiagnosed ADHD or VAST live their best life and to gain new insights into living with neurodiversity

Are you feeling overwhelmed in your world right now? Regardless of whether you are anxious, depressed, confused, or just "stuck" in life right now, there is hope! I believe the most important factor in successful therapy is a good therapeutic relationship. Hopefully, you will be able to find that person with me. In therapy, I will aid you in setting goals that will help you lead a happier and more fulfilling lifestyle. I utilize an eclectic style of practice incorporating psychodynamic, strength-based, cognitive behavioral, educational, play, and solution-focused strategies, which means I find the strategy that works best for you.

I consider the relationship between therapist and patient to be the most important aspect of psychotherapy. Suffering from poor mental health is often a very isolating experience, so it is essential that my clients know and truly believe that I care about their well-being and will always advocate for their interests. As a highly empathetic individual, I have had my own journey with mental health struggles and can truly appreciate the courage it takes to come to therapy. I feel privileged every time a client lets me into their world.

You recently discovered your child or teen may need counseling and are thinking, "Now what?!" It could be that your child is acting out and their teacher recommended counseling; maybe your teen told you they question if anyone cares about them; or you began fostering a child and know they need the extra support; or maybe it's the stresses of everyday life that are bogging you down and you need some sort of outlet. One of the hardest things about being in a time of despair is feeling alone, as if no one understands you, and then being so scared to take that first next step without knowing where to turn or what questions to ask.
