Toddler Therapists in Fenton, MI

As a counselor, my goal is to help people of all ages reach their full potential. I know that people pursue counseling for many different reasons and because no two individuals are the same, each person is as unique as the situations they encounter. Because there are many variables that affect people individually, strategies for the therapeutic relationship will differ on a case by case basis. I will use a variety of evidence-based counseling techniques and principles to help you in your counseling journey.

As a therapist, I approach each client with curiosity and deep respect. I believe strongly that all individuals and families have the capacity to experience healing and growth and to live with a sense of well-being. I see my role as supporting my clients in their unique journeys of self-understanding or family-understanding through connecting their life experiences to their thoughts, feelings, beliefs, values, and behaviors. I use a mix of approaches tailored to each client’s and family’s goals and desires.

I have 30 yrs of rich experience evaluating & treating young children, birth to school age children, as well as teens. I also support adults/parents.

My goal as a therapist is to help alleviate life’s circumstances and teach you the skills to effectively navigate life.

You have the diagnosis of Autism, now what? Getting the diagnosis can be emotional. Trying to figure out how to help your child and provide them with the tools they need to be successful can be draining. I assist parents of children with Autism and adults with Autism in getting financial resources, therapies, doctors, alternative medicine, holistic providers, and more, as well as helping parents who are dealing with difficult behaviors. No two children with Autism are the same and therefore no two treatment approaches are the same. **ALL SESSIONS ARE DONE THROUGH HOME VISITS OR TELEHEALTH

*Now offering ADHD evaluations* My goal is to provide a relaxed environment where you feel free and supported to explore your thoughts and feelings. I work to help you recognize your true emotions that may be hiding behind initial reactions of defensiveness or anger. Together, we can identify maladaptive patterns of behavior that may be contributing to symptoms of depression or anxiety, or that may be creating barriers to communication. Identification of these patterns provides the opportunity to change them and ultimately find more joy in experiences, intimacy in relationships, and the ability to communicate effectively.
