Therapists in Chelsea, MI

Are you longing to feel less overwhelmed? Do you notice that the same patterns keep showing up in your relationships? I specialize in helping people who are struggling with feeling grounded and connected in their relationships and in the world. This might include people pleasers, empaths, and those with high sensitivity. If you resonate with any of this, know that you're not alone. Together, we'll explore the roots of these feelings and work to heal your core wounds.

I have a passion for individuals, couples and families who are experiencing the darkness of grief, the heartache of broken relationships, the discomfort and uncertainty that promotes overwhelming fear and anxiety; the trials of family life and the stress of difficult careers. I integrate my deep faith and trust in God's provision to help guide my work with my clients or for those whom I am supervising. My greatest desire is for you, my client, to know your great value and worth as you grow deeper in the own knowledge and wisdom of your calling and purpose in life.

We are all called to evolve beyond our survival level strategies designed to cope with wounding family systems, lineages and social systems. It is possible to integrate the legacy of trauma we have inherited and thrive in this lifetime. We are collectively facing monumental global challenges, socially, politically and environmentally, that amplifies this legacy, and hastens the call for us to cultivate greater capacity to stay present, grounded and lovingly engaged. Returning to wholeness requires reorienting towards mobilizing our rich inner and outer resources, shifting from generating suffering to unlocking liberation.

I offer individuals and couples evidence-based approaches to heal emotional struggles, build sustainable health/wellness, and transform your relationships and life. Your sessions may include frank and thought-provoking discussion of your road blocks, including concrete ways to heal your core emotional wounds; a guided mindfulness, body-based, Imago or Brainspotting exercise; and practices for connecting to your strength and empowerment. Together we will focus on tangible, on-the-ground results in your life.

Everyone strives for growth, and we all have resilience, but when you're feeling overwhelmed or emotionally hurt, it can be hard to find that resilience, and move forward. But that's also when you can have the greatest capacity for change. Something is motivating you to seek help; whatever is it, you don’t have to go it alone. I provide an emotionally safe, caring, and non-judgmental space where we can work together to find your unique path forward.

Welcome! I am a clinical social worker who combines a holistic approach with research-supported therapeutic techniques in my clinical therapy practice. I am experienced working with those with anxiety, eating disorders, trauma and other adjustment issues. I have a special interest in supporting members of the LGBTQ+ community. I am enthusiastic about working with you through all of the diverse and personal manifestations of mental healthiness.

There is a reason you have decided to seek therapy for yourself or a loved one. The world is becoming an increasingly challenging place for those of any age to navigate. Whatever the reason that brings you to treatment, I am prepared to support you in identifying and treating the root cause(s) of problems that you are facing. While you are the expert in your own life, I will use only evidence-based approaches in assisting your exploration in what underlies the challenges you face. Also, for most younger kids and families, I develop individualized treatment manuals, so that parents can be directly involved in the treatment process.

I offer deep, effective counseling treatment. I specialize in relationship struggles, anxiety, post-traumatic stress, complex trauma, high stress/burn out and depression. My advanced training focuses on helping clients to resolve past traumas in order to relieve current emotional distress and psychological symptoms. I focus on healing from a body / somatic experiencing standpoint. I support clients in cultivating feelings of peace, confidence and connection. This paves the way for improved relationships with both self and others. In my practice, an emphasis is placed on personal development and revitalization.

As long as I can remember, I have been in awe of the human experience. In awe of the amount of joy and pain we can experience in a single lifetime. In awe of our triumphs and failures. In awe of our resiliency and our tenderness. In awe of the incredible evolution of a single lifetime. My offering supports individuals to more consciously participate in their life's unfolding through the development of greater awareness, body-based practices and nervous system restoration, healing trauma and utilizing the wisdom of post-traumatic growth, and through re-connection to that which already is, and has always been, whole in ourselves.
