Therapists in Keego Harbor, MI

Just “one last time,” you say to yourself. You have been telling yourself this same lie for years, hoping and praying that this time it will be true. Resisting the urge to check feels so impossible, but it seems like your only option is to give in. The OCD tells you that if you do the ritual just one more time, the anxiety will go away. Although you know logically that your fears are irrational, you cannot stop them, and feelings of panic and dread take over your mind. You crave just a moment of freedom from the grips of the obsession.

Are you feeling frustrated, perhaps a bit angry? In addition, the feeling that no one understands you or they say the wrong thing to you without thinking of the impact. Dealing with chronic illness and pain is a consistent struggle. Sometimes getting through a day to just support a decent lifestyle is excruciating. The isolation is troubling because a social life feels so out of reach Top that off with a relationship and a healthy sex life seems impossible at the moment. Everyday feels like a marathon of how much can be done while feeling a consistent exhaustion that never goes away. Waking up feeling refreshed seems like a fantasy.

As a Counseling Psychologist and Certified Trauma Professional, my practice centers on facilitating the transformative journey of healing. I collaborate with clients to co-create a therapeutic environment conducive to exploring and addressing their unique challenges. Utilizing a psychodynamic framework within an integrative approach, I provide a non-judgmental space where clients can navigate issues such as disordered eating, body image concerns, post-traumatic stress, trauma healing, anxiety, and depression.

My experience in the mental health field so far has allowed me to help people struggling with anxiety, depression, mood disorders, low self-esteem/self-worth, body issues, gender and sexuality, anger management, family conflicts, and relationship issues. My passion for this field has helped improve my commitment, focus, inclusivity, and empathy to best help those seeking therapy services.

My professional life has been consistently focused on serving people in need. After obtaining my bachelors degree from Michigan State University, I initially worked in the Governor's office in Lansing. I then decided to exercise my entrepreneurial spirit and transitioned into helping guide economically challenged families to find better housing solutions by developing low cost single family homes and developing large tracts of vacant and abandoned land. This work of helping families led me to desire doing work even more impactful, which led to my returning to school and obtaining my Master's degree in Clinical Psychology from the Michigan School of Professional Psychology.

My ideal client hasn't had things be super easy for them. Having to deal with health issues or not being accepted by friends or family for your gender/sexuality adds another challenge on navigating life. Working together using holistic somatic approaches like Brainspotting and EMDR I want to provide you with a safe, affirming and non-judgmental space for you to heal and grow from harmful life experiences. Collaboratively we can work toward your goals using trauma informed interventions in individual counseling sessions.

Choosing to enter into counseling is not an easy decision. My main goals as a therapist are: 1.
