Therapists in Hillman, MI

I am dedicated to helping others navigate their complex and uncomfortable emotions and behaviors. At the core of therapy is change. Change itself can be scary, exciting and challenging. We will get through it together.

Life can be difficult to navigate. Current times can be full of confusion, worries and sadness. Daily demands leave us feeling troubled and hopeless. Imagine finding balance, renewed joy and optimism. Discovering a feeling of contentment, ease in tasks, satisfaction in your relationships, hope for your future, and restored sense of purpose in aspects of your life. I have been practicing as a therapist since 2003 and have experience working with adults with various concerns. It may be depression, anxiety, managing life transition, or trauma that brings you to therapy.

I create a non-judgmental and healthy space to help my clients find balance in their life and overcome past and present hardships. I work with clients to help them achieve goals that are important to them while utilizing person-centered and strength-based treatment planning.

Clinically, I have worked in the Community Mental Health system and in a private practice prior to opening my own private practice. I am trained in 10+ evidenced-based practices like Cognitive Behavior therapy (CBT), Prolonged Exposure (PE) therapy, used in treating PTSD, the Nurturing Parent Program (NPP), and Brief Strategic Family Therapy (BSFT). My passion is to help others to live life as the best version of themselves, regardless of their age or presenting issues. I believe that each of us is just one person away from reaching that goal of a happy life, and if I can be that for you then it is a win for us both.

Life can get hard. There are countless obstacles that we encounter on a daily basis that can be overwhelming at times. When trying to make it through the day these obstacles sometimes present a weight that feels insurmountable. In addition, life can sometimes seem isolating and debilitating. I believe that the core component of a successful therapeutic relationship is, in fact, the relationship. Making the changes one desires is achievable through a collaborative, trusting, and compassionate dynamic.

Life today can have a profound impact on over all well-being. If you are struggling today and looking to find some hope to help guide you through the storm, I may be the therapist you are looking for. The relationship between a client and a therapist is the key to a successful therapeutic experience. I invite you into a nonjudgmental environment that provides empowerment, safety, trust, empathy, and active listening I believe the focus should be on the whole self; body, mind, and spirit. Through support, inner strength, and hope, I truly believe that healing is possible.

Welcome. I am so happy you are here. As humans we are extremely resilient and adaptive to our surroundings. At times, this can be a gift and it can also lead us on a path that is no longer serving us. Therapy has the potential to change the quality of our lives, as well as for those around us, for generations to come.
