Female Therapists in Allegan, MI

If you've been hoping to make a change in your life, the way you get angry, your use of alcohol or drugs, your relationships, your loneliness , it's probably time to talk with someone about making that change. I am a counselor with over 35 years experience helping people successfully deal with such problems. It is surprising how powerful we are when we accept help, understand our behaviors and learn new ways of doing things. Making the time for yourself is the first step.

Life is full of ups, downs, and unexpected turns. Sometimes, it can be helpful to have someone in your corner who can assist you in processing all of life's changes. Whether what you are experiencing is the loss of a loved one, stress from a job or school, relationship issues, or anything else causing you to feel overwhelmed, I am here to walk along side you.

It is my personal and professional belief that everyone is capable of discovering their most authentic and successful self, but may occasionally need assistance in their journey to personal enrichment. I have been lucky enough to find those people in my own life, and I consider it an honor to serve that purpose for my clients in a warm, welcoming, yet professional fashion. I respect the individual needs of varying cultural backgrounds, and enjoy finding common ground with varying clientele.

Support, encouragement, and space to breathe. We all need these to get us through life. From the daily anxiety of tasks and relationships to deep trauma. It can feel suffocating. I would like to be the person that provides a safe place to heal. To hold onto hope when you are unable to have any. To lift you up in support of your goals for yourself and your relationships. I am ready to invest in you. My hope is for us to work together to identify what you need and to find ways to best meet those needs. I specialize in addressing depression, anxiety, relationship struggles, preparation for marriage, post-traumatic stress, and grief.

You are worth it! But maybe you have a hard time seeing that lately. Maybe you are recovering from a bad breakup and feel down about yourself. Maybe you are always comparing yourself to others and feel like you never measure up, or maybe you just don’t feel good about yourself. Do you need help finding your self-love, recognizing your worth and creating your own happiness? I help women who feel anxious, depressed and struggle with their self-esteem by figuring out how and where you can change things that are holding you back. With the goal of achieving satisfaction and happiness in your life and relationships.

Do you feel that your faith is not enough to get you through difficult times in your life? I am committed to encouraging Christian women , to draw from their inner strength, empathy, and compassion to overcome what may be holding them back. You may be experiencing anxiety, stress, life transitions, and the lack of coping skills needed to deal with the issues at hand to move forward. I believe empathy and quality counseling are powerful tools to assist clients to build and nurture positive change. If you are ready to see changes in your life, then it is time to seek support.

Life is a challenge, regardless of who you are or your place in life. While I believe that all unique individuals are capable of self-love and self-healing, I also know from over 15 years of experience working with people that we all need a little help finding our way from time to time. I am glad that my professional and personal experiences have equipped me to help a wide range of people during difficult times of change or transition, and that I am able to offer my services to those in need.

Thank you for taking the first step to becoming the best version of yourself. Whether you are looking for help navigating through a difficult season of life; you are suffering from anxiety, depression, low self esteem, or lack of empowerment; or just need maintenance therapy, I am able to assist you in finding coping skills to help you get to the next level.

My specialties include couples therapy as well as women with prenatal or postpartum depression and anxiety.  I support couples and individuals through infertility or pregnancy loss or adjusting to other life transitions.  I help people deal with life transitions such as divorce or breakup, loss, or adjustment to a new baby.

As a professional woman , you experience the stress and burnout that comes with trying to balance it all. You may feel like your life, your work, or your day-to-day is about "just getting through it." Maybe you feel like you're juggling a hundred responsibilities with barely enough time for yourself. At the same time, in the midst of the busyness, you are sure of one thing: you are ready for some relief. You're ready to enjoy your day-to-day. You're ready to find work you love. You're ready to smile again. Most of all, you are ready to take care of yourself the way you take care of those around you.

Life can be complicated with challenging experiences, thoughts and feelings and it is important to know you are not alone. As a therapist, I strive to provide a secure space for you to engage in a non-judgmental, collaborative relationship. I believe in the strength and healing power that resides in the core of each person. In whatever challenges you are facing, I seek to come along side you in the therapy space to facilitate healing and growth. I trust that together, we can work to make sense of what is happening - now and in the past to lead more empowered and fulfilled lives.
