Therapists in Kalamazoo County, MI
Life is often really tough. My goal is to provide a safe space for my clients to share their story, their struggles, their victories and their goals so they can feel less alone and also have a therapeutic partner to sort through what they'd like to understand better about themselves in order to take new steps towards wellness and growth. Being understood by a compassionate person is strengthening, and so is having a therapeutic partner to help you think about what you're thinking about and what you'd rather be focusing on.

Over the past 11 years I have worked with clients dealing with chronic illness, situational stress, anxiety, relationship issues, motivation, self-esteem & depression through an eclectic approach using CBT, motivational interviewing and EMDR.

As a passionate and committed therapist, my main goal is to foster a kind and respectful environment for all clients. Change can be difficult, as well as the ability to open up to a stranger about ones struggles and challenges.

As a client-centered therapist, I work to build a relationship with each client based on compassion, understanding, and non-judgment. In building that relationship, I hope to better understand the areas of your life that you are proud of and the areas in which you feel stuck. It is my belief that in healing past pain you can unburden the parts of you that have lived that pain, and begin to be your most authentic self.

Brene Brown stated, “Authenticity is a collection of choices that we have to make every day. It’s about the choice to show up and be real. The choice to be honest. The choice to let our true selves be seen.” Being our authentic self is easier said than done, but it is totally worth it. To develop this, we need to embrace our strengths, explore our values, pay attention to our self-talk, notice our emotions, practice mindfulness, build a solid social support network, and face our fears. When we live authentically, we generate trust within ourselves and with others. This process can be difficult but is worth it.

I help burnt-out, tired adults find passion and energy for life again. I love working with men and women who are exhausted, not working on their self-care, and need help creating and

What would it feel like to finally have support from someone who understands what you’ve been carrying?

Life experiences can impact us in surprising, often difficult and traumatic ways, leaving us feeling out of touch with ourselves and those around us. With over twenty (20) years of experience working alongside individuals and families in a variety of clinical settings, my clinical approach begins with meeting you where you are at, without judgement or preconceived notions. Listening to better understand your story while also creating space for self-reflection and commitment. I share the sentiment of a traveling journalist, who once said, "life begins where our comfort zone ends".
