Therapists in Ann Arbor, MI

No matter how hard you try to move forward, you feel like your taking one step back. You’re a high performer with perfectionism tendencies and always put on a smile, which helps you forget your pain. You may feel you will never be fully happy and never be able to fully enjoy life how others do, because of your many losses, attributing to your decreased self esteem. You may keep friends and family at a distance, to protect yourself from yet another inevitable loss. You may have stopped exercising and taking care of yourself the way you used to, since it takes too much work and you're just surviving at the end of another long day.

My focus in therapy is to explore areas that have caused you pain and suffering and help you to achieve greater self-awareness and personal growth. Through a highly collaborative approach we will work together to find answers for you.

You may be browsing this website because you are at the beginning of your search for a therapist. Researching therapists is the first step. Then, making the first contact is next: this can be incredibly difficult. I see the therapeutic relationship as one of the most unique relationships: as a therapist, I am not your friend or family member, as I do not have any preconceived notions about what you “should” or “should not”do. I see myself as someone who works with you to set and accomplish goals, someone who supports you, assist you in solving problems and is part of your "team".

I specialize in working with teens and adults who struggle with worry, sense of self worth, their relationship with food & body image, as well as painful past experiences to no longer feel controlled by a harsh inner critic and want to explore living a life that makes them feel worthy, balanced, and safe. To let go of people pleasing habits and set healthy boundaries with themselves and others. Clients who work with me want to learn how to set healthy boundaries, find food freedom and body confidence, develop healthy coping skills to lower stress and anxiety. Clients work to identify and process the underlying issues to heal.

I serve adult individuals who are looking for caring support as well as to improve their lives and reach their goals. Whether you are struggling with a change in life circumstances, a mental health concern, a loss, trauma, abuse, or just need someone who can provide an objective perspective I am here to help. I believe everyone has the ability and strength to make the changes they want in their lives, but they may need someone to guide that process and offer the necessary tools.

Life is full of transitions that can leave us feeling overwhelmed, stuck, and desiring greater personal well-being. I treat individuals and couples with acceptance and respect. I approach treatment from a mindfulness perspective, based on client's personal situations, strengths and chosen goals. My style is warm, solution-focused, and supports the courageous decisions of people to explore who they are and who they want to become.

Are you haunted by painful past experiences that continue to cast a shadow over your present? At the Center for EMDR & Trauma Therapy, we understand that trauma and attachment wounds manifest uniquely in each individual, leaving a profound impact on their lives. If you find yourself caught in patterns affecting your relationships, struggling to connect emotionally, or easily triggered by small things, it might be time for a change.

The decision to start therapy signals an interest and curiosity about becoming more grounded and present in our lives. Each of us has a unique set of strengths and challenges that shape who we are and how we experience relationships. My therapeutic approach is trauma-informed and draws on psychodynamic, sensorimotor, and mindfulness based modalities. I work with clients from a practical, here-and-now perspective while attending to the impact of relational, cultural, and early childhood experiences. I am Level 1 Basic Trained in Somatic and Attachment Focused EMDR. I also work with grief & loss, depression, and body image/acceptance.

My practice is currently full and I am unable to take new clients at this time. I have 20+ years working with adolescents, individuals, and couples on a variety of issues. I have experience working with Substance Abuse, Depression, Anxiety and with Trauma. My approach is strengths-based, non-judgemental, and practical. I have been trained in Cognitive-Behavioral, Family Systems, Internal Family Systems, Trauma, Substance Abuse and Psychodynamic Treatment. Fundamentally, I believe it is most important to listen deeply to people and help them define both their own issues as well as their own solutions.

Do you find talk therapy not helping enough or perhaps making you feel worse? This can happen, especially if there is trauma or neglect in one's history. Are you struggling in your relationship, repeating patterns of conflict, or not getting your needs met? Are you finding yourself crying, blowing your fuse or unable to get out of bed? Do you find yourself dissociating or spacing out? You might want to try a different type of talk therapy called Sensorimotor Psychotherapy. This therapy addresses relationship and attachment patterns and helps to work profoundly and somatically to provide relief.

Maybe you've been thinking of trying therapy for a while, or have almost given up that it could work for you. I'd love to help you see the beauty in accepting that, as in life, it’s okay to not "get it right" the first time. I enjoy reactivating hope in people to see the potential in themselves and in others. You don't have to try making changes on your own.
