Trauma and PTSD Therapists in Grass Lake, MI

My passion is helping people develop greater personal strength while building closer connections with their loved ones. My 20+ years of experience includes helping others heal trauma, depression, relationship concerns, and anxiety. I especially enjoy working with women and with the LGBTQ+ community. My goal is to provide a secure, comfortable, and effective path to strengthen and nurture my clients. Welcome! (If I'm full, my office often has other wonderful clinicians available. Check out our website for more information!)

Therapy doesn’t have to be scary or uncomfortable. Many people feel alone with their thoughts and emotions, and yet most of the time we realize through a conversation that we aren’t alone at all. As human beings we all suffer from common experiences of fear, anxiety, depression, and sadly trauma. I offer a chance to sit down in a quiet, comfortable environment, to have a conversation about life. Let me hear your story and give yourself a chance to see how simple therapy can be.

I am a licensed clinical social worker with close to 30 years of post-masters experience in psychotherapy. I work with adults, teens, couples, and families. Depression, anxiety, domestic violence, ADHD, and PTSD are my primary specialties. I also have significant experience in high conflict custody issues and post-divorce conflict. I am available via face-to-face sessions in downtown Chelsea Michigan, or via teletherapy. I take Blue Cross, Blue care Network, and Aetna.

Hello wonderful Being, it is my privilege to walk with you on your path of healing. I have worked with people from all walks of life and am oriented towards helping those struggling with stress, anxiety, trauma, and self-esteem. I consider myself a holistic therapist and aim to educate my clients on their nervous systems and the impact of trauma.

Wherever you are in life right now, there can be struggles you aren’t equipped to deal with: aging, chronic illness both mental and physical, aging parents, retirement, career, school, and many more. Having health and mobility issues, caregiving for loved ones, getting organized, shifting priorities, injuries, illness, or balancing family and work life are some of the things that change the direction of a person’s life. Having someone to guide you through the small steps and the big ones, can reduce anxiety and help alleviate depression. Applying your new understanding will allow you to address your needs with knowledge and grace.

Teens and adults go through many changes, especially in our world today. My speciality is helping individuals adjust to life changes that lead to depression, rage, and anxiety. We can make transitions smoother and less daunting by creating new ways to adapt and strategically view the problem.

I am a compassionate and skilled therapist dedicated to helping you live your best life! I have years of experience with life transitions, crisis, and everything in between. I can offer a supportive and safe space for you to share your thoughts and emotions in order to heal. I utilize EMDR to help people reverse negative self talk and image.

What brings you to my office? The answers to this question are as varied as are the people who seek counseling with me. You may have a problem or disappointment with your health, self-esteem/worth, relationships, school, work, mood, or boundaries. People reach out to me when, despite being very capable, they have not been able to get their lives on the course that they desire. I believe that the changes and healing you want to accomplish can be brought about by the combination of my skills, your knowledge of yourself, and the strong working relationship that we will establish together.

Tired of feeling like the path that you are on is going nowhere or has led you to a place that you are not satisfied with? Do you want to make a change in your life, but you feel too paralyzed to do so out of fear of failure, rejection or isolation? Do you ever feel so hopeless that you feel you are just stuck and think things will never get any better or that you are destined to be like this forever?
