Physicians Health Plan Therapists in Allegan County, MI
It is a humbling experience to work with individuals during times of difficulty. The emotions and behaviors of someone who is suffering can be intense. I know that many people, during times of crisis, just want the pain to end and have the problem resolved. Therapy can assist in that process. I believe God has called on me to help others face their suffering and I feel honored when people invite me to help them make changes in their lives. By integrating therapeutic expertise with God's direction, guidance and love, great change and healing is possible.

I enjoy working with clients who are up for a little work and challenge. I have a strong belief in the idea that therapy isn't something that is done to us, but rather something we must take an active role in to see any true progress. I view therapy as another way to add more tools to our toolbox in an effort to better ourselves. My goal is that by working together, you will learn things in a manner that allows you to function at your best regardless of what life throws at you.

No one needs to go this alone and therapy can help one define just what and how they want in any given moment of change.

Are you and your partner stuck in painful emotional cycles that leave you both feeling sad, anxious, overwhelmed or alone? For example, do you or your partner feel defensive when one of you voices your concerns? Does it feel like your partner doesn't care about your feelings, needs or longings? Is it difficult to work together toward common goals or do you fight over the smallest of details? Even in the most loving relationships, these negative cycles can show up when partners have different ways of responding to emotional stressors within the relationship or from external sources such as jobs, family, illness or friends.

My ideal client is someone who has experienced something in their life that prompted them to want to change some aspect of themselves and their environment. Because change is always hard, even when for the better, you may need some assistance with implementing change and everything that comes along with change such as resistance from family and friends, establishing new boundaries and gaining a renewed sense of self. Ideally you are motivated to achieve goals and open to new ideas.

I work to help people navigate their complex worlds in order to live a healthier, happier life. I believe that all components of one's life are interrelated. Stress, crisis, life changes and uncertainty happen to everyone, often without warning. When crisis or chaos strike, it is comforting to have someone listen in a safe, open, non-judgmental space in which you can uncover the inner strengths and skills you already possess. I work with clients to create this environment, through which genuine healing, change, and self-empowerment can occur.
