Cancer Therapists in Grandville, MI

My specialty is in treating sexual abuse, anxiety, trauma and PTSD effectively and efficiently. I'm trained in 3 evidence-based (validated by research) therapies for treating PTSD, and my goal is to help you find healing without wasting your time or money. During your first appointments, we'll determine the best plan for your therapy. Some approaches emphasize talking, while others have very little talking. Some use creative elements and story, while others work directly to treat your brain and nervous system. I also provide general counseling for depression, anxiety, and relationships.

I believe that every person that comes into therapy has the right to have their own individual life journey be the focus of therapy. I listen to the wants, and concerns of the client and then together we develop a strategy that the client(s) will be willing to apply to their lives. I have many tools from an eclectic range or psychological fields and a lifetime of real-life applications that I offer to each client.

I am passionate about helping people see who they can truly become. I encourage vulnerability and open-mindedness in our sessions. I have spent my social work career helping individuals work towards empowerment and building social supports so that they can be a better version of themselves. I often use the phrase “You are doing the best you can with what you have”. You only have as many skills and as much knowledge as what is provided for you. Please allow me the opportunity to help guide you towards living a happier, more fulfilling life.

As a psychotherapist I view my role as a consultant, not unlike other professional consultants. Utilizing clients' inherent life skills and developing new skills, I assist them in finding ways to work through barriers to growth. I see my job as a listener, teacher and a coach, because to make a change, even for the better, takes courage. Over the years I have develop various proven modalities in which to help clients manage anxiety, anger and stress-related disorders. I utilize cognitive behavioral therapy as well as neuropsychological approaches that are scientifically researched.

When our Memories are greater than our Dreams we tend to focus only on setbacks and disappointments. Changing behaviors that lead to a healthy lifestyle may seem like mission impossible based on the struggles and failures encountered in the past. I have a passion to help clients overcome obstacles that have lead to a perception of failure. I strive to help individuals stay motivated by focusing on what they have control over, learning new skills to bring life back into balance and gain confidence in themselves and their ability to succeed.

My vision is to help clients get away from dysfunction to full potential, to help them live a life worth living. I enjoy clients who do not feel "in-tune" with themselves because of past experiences & it is important to me to help realign their lives in order to be intentional about who they want to be, what boundaries they want for life, & also to help them take care of themselves. Whether your struggles are a result of past trauma, divorce/broken relationships, life transitions & changes, or whether it is just a little bit of adjustments needing to be made, set aside the politics/pressure of the world, I want to help 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.

As we age, I can't help but think that our lives may go off the path we originally intended. While life can be full of many positive changes and events, there may also be experiences in which one may develop feelings of shame, guilt, anxiety, and/or depression. It can be hard to recognize life isn't always 'perfect' and to determine how and where to give up control. My goal is to help you leap into the unknown, build more authenticity and awareness, and start living a life with more fulfillment.

My passion is helping others find ways to manage their challenges in this ever-changing journey we call life. For over 27 years I have worked with adults, children, adolescents, couples, and families in a variety of settings; including home, school, office, and in the community. I pride myself in building therapeutic relationships with each individual I work with. By achieving this, I believe we can then work together to help identify what is challenging you currently to get you to the life you choose to live successfully.

I believe in a Client-centered, Cognitive-Behavioral approach with an emphasis on personal responsibility, accountability, and ownership of problem solving to bring about personal change. I specifically use the Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) model. The goal of ACT is acceptance of what is out of personal control, and a commitment to action for life improvement and enrichment. Additionally, mindfulness training including meditation, relaxation, and guided imagery can be used for therapeutic intervention.
