ASR Health Benefits Therapists in Oakland-Winchell, Kalamazoo, MI
Sometimes life challenges us with difficult circumstances and painful emotions. At these times we may not be able to see our way out with any clarity. A compassionate guide can be helpful. I have a deep respect for one's capacity to heal and I invite the integration of mind, body, spirit and emotions into this process. I explore with you the themes in your life that create blocks to feeling centered and fulfilled. While it is important to hear what you are saying, it is also important to hear what you are not saying, providing a deeper kind of listening.

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.

Trauma can leave us feeling disconnected from others as well as from our true selves. You may be fed up with feeling activated in everyday situations, isolated from people who don't understand, or guilty over what happened to you.

You’re ready to enjoy deep relationships without the past getting in the way. You’re ready to wake up each morning with purpose. Most of all, you’re ready to move forward with a sense of empowerment and get back to feeling like yourself again.
