We are excited to share our comprehensive substance abuse and mental health services practice, Cognitive Consultants, with you. We provide comprehensive mental health and substance abuse services.

Immediate Same Week Openings! Sometimes we get caught up in the messiness of life and forget to enjoy it! I get it, life can be stressful! All of our feelings are normal but sometimes we feel them more intense and they might even make our day to day lives extra challenging (anxiety, depression, low self-esteem.. sound familiar?) You are deserving of a life you enjoy living and I am here to help you get back to your best, authentic self.

When faced with difficult challenges our emotional, physical, and mental health is impacted. The impacts of life transitions, past traumas, and stress can show up in our lives as anger, depression, anxiety, behavioral concerns, and relationship issues. Therapy can be helpful to individuals by allowing space to learn to identify emotions as well as learn tools to manage symptoms. If you're struggling to manage unhelpful thoughts or behaviors centering around anxiety, body image, depression, life changes, self-esteem, self-harm, and stress management I would urge you to consider therapy.

I believe that every person has the capacity for change, and the ability to create a better life. My job is to offer guidance, bear witness to your unique life experiences, and support you in finding the answers you seek. I am licensed to provide services within the state of Michigan.

I became a therapist because I believe people can do hard things. Regardless of where your path has led you - or has yet to lead you - as your therapist I will meet you where you are and empower you to find your inner strength. Everyone is at a different stage of their healing journey and I will walk alongside you on yours. When we work together, your sense of safety and security is my biggest priority; I firmly believe healing cannot happen in the presence of judgement. I welcome and celebrate all identities and appreciate the individuality of your experiences.

I began my career working with caregivers of adults living with dementia. This prepared me for moving into work with children and adults with autism and other similar diagnoses. I currently also enjoy working with school-aged children, their families, and individuals looking to do the work to make meaningful change in their life.

I believe that resilience is in all of us and healing is a path we can choose to walk at any time if we are willing to take the first step. Sometimes even helping professionals need their own helper, someone to listen to their experiences and walk alongside them as they process the challenges of helping. Focusing on secondary traumatic stress and occupational stress issues I believe my role as a therapist is to support clients as they navigate their healing process.

I am accepting new clients. I am accepting LLPCs for supervision training to acquire your LPC. Call me at 517-944-0463 to reserve a spot in the next class. I am a licensed Professional Counselor with more than ten years of experience in assisting individuals with developmental disabilities, traumatic brain injuries, emotional and mental problems. I use the Cognitive Behavioral Therapy approach to help improve individuals personal life, professional life and mental health life.

Grab a cup of coffee/tea and let’s talk! My goal is to create a safe and relaxing environment where you can be yourself. I do not believe that therapy must always be a stiff uncomfortable process. I am here to help you achieve your solutions and the life changes you are looking for while enjoying yourself and the process as much as possible. Asking for help is hard, but I hope you take a moment (and a deep refreshing breath) to call or email me to see how I can help you.

Each person has a unique life experience; the challenges they face and strengths they draw from are wholly their own. My aim as a therapist is to help clients see things from a new perspective, and tap into their strengths and resilience to meet their goals. I see each client as a person, rather than a diagnosis, and try to meet them where they are at in life’s journey. Together, we collaborate to form a person-centered treatment plan that reflects the client’s needs and goals.

"Ego says, 'Once everything falls into place, I'll feel peace.' Spirit says, 'Find your peace, and then everything will fall into place.'" (Marianne Williamson). I believe that peace and quality of life is achieved by working in reverse. That is, going inward to rediscover the divinity that rests in you. My objective is to encourage clients to use their strengths and resources to recognize their inner wisdom, thus allowing them to become their authentic self. Working together, we can identify barriers to wellbeing, explore solutions that empower, and expand awareness.

Nothing is more important or challenging than parenting. I offer help and hope as a parent coach for support and direction in enhancing your skills, or the deeper assistance of therapy for trauma-affected children. I help to clarify trauma's developmental impact and effect on the danger response system, attachment, self-regulation, and competency. I encourage attachment by helping you and your child with attunement, attentiveness, emotion control, consistency, and using routines and rituals. I help parents understand and deal with extreme behaviors, such as lying, stealing, food-hoarding, self-mutilation, and aggression.

Life is tough. No doubt about it. Sometimes its downright overwhelming. In these times it is especially beneficial to have someone to help you as you wade through it all. People come to counseling for a variety of reasons. Probably most people who voluntarily come to counseling are looking for some healing, and the hope of moving forward with their life. How about you? Do you want to get your "heart" back? Make some changes? Move forward with your life? That's good. I'd like to help you with that.

I am a master level clinical therapist. I have 30 years experience working with adults, kids, teens and families with a wide range of concerns. I specialize in all kinds trauma, but have experience with a wide variety of mental health issues, including anxiety, depression, and family relationships. I also have 15 years experience working with kids on the Autism Spectrum and/or coaching their parents. In addition, I have worked extensively with foster care and adoption.

Building relationships with so many different individuals, its hard to pick just one specific way to work with them. I feel that I come into the therapeutic relationship knowing that it is the client that has all of the tools within them to succeed. I believe in remaining present with the client, being curious, and supporting them in their own decisions.

"That place of true healing is a fierce place. It's a giant place. It's a place of monstrous beauty and endless dark and glimmering light. And you have to work really, really, really, hard to get there, but you can do it". - Cheryl Strayed You can heal, and I believe in healing. I will sit with you in the dark places, in the light places, and all the in between places until you get to the place you want to be.

The most endearing part about therapy is watching people uncover parts about themselves or their lives that lead to healing and change. Often someone seeks support from an outside source to help them gain a sense of control over their lives. Through the therapeutic process, they gain control over themselves and that leads to solutions they were not aware of. It's an honor to guide those who want to help themselves and create a life they are proud of.
