Sandplay Therapists in Clinton County, MI

I graduated from Saginaw Valley State University with an undergraduate background in Psychology and from Michigan State University with my Masters in Social Work (MSW). I have always been passionate about working with children and learning how to understand the world from their unique perspectives. I believe that each client brings their own strengths and life experiences into therapy and that all treatment goals should reflect individual needs.

I see therapy as a gateway to strengthening our authentic self through healing, learning, acceptance and growth. It is often through our self-proclaimed imperfections that we find the greatest gifts, insights and points of focus that help us understand and become clear about the path we are walking and the possibilities that are before us. We have all known suffering, loss, trauma and despair. These experiences may shape us but they do not have to define us.

I have been a practicing therapist since 1998. I have experience with children and adults and strive to provide the best possible clinical experience to all of my clients. I have expertise in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, and Solution Focused Therapy. If asked how I would describe my clinical perspective I would say that I practice Depth Psychology. I work with families and couples in addition to individual psychotherapy. I have expertise in Addiction, Trauma, Depression, Anxiety as well as other areas. Please contact me if you have questions on how I could provide the best experience in therapy for you.

Life stages and transitions bring with them many joys, challenges and uncertainties. Mental, emotional and spiritual obstacles often leave us stuck or prevent us from fully realizing the joy and peace we desire in life. Are you familiar with feelings of despair, hopelessness, anxiety, confusion and self-doubt among others? Do your children or adolescents struggle in this way? Are you experiencing a difficult time moving forward? My objective in therapy is to validate your experience as an individual, couple or family. Through practical learnings and education, I will work alongside you to provide hope and help toward healing.

I believe we have the innate ability to live in pure bliss and peacefulness even if we have had traumatic histories or we currently are experiencing something painful in our lives. I did not always believe pure bliss was possible and used to subscribe to the pathological view of mental health which I was taught in school. But what I’ve learned through my years of experience, both as a client and a therapist, is that if we look for pathology we see pathology and people will never truly reach their full potential.

My vision began several years ago when I realized that most counseling agencies tend to concentrate on only one aspect of wellbeing, "Mental Health". Many people seeking whole body wellness are forced to travel to multiple providers to gain the full experience. Why not have one agency that meets the multiple aspect in achieving the "Whole Body Wellness" concept? I truly believe that maximizing personal wellbeing is dependent on the emotional, physical and spiritual health of every individual. I am proud to provide the surrounding community with a comprehensive clinic that addresses whole body wellness.

As a therapist, I believe that building a relationship is the most important part of the therapeutic process.
