Therapists in South Westnedge, Kalamazoo, MI

Our lives do not always go the way we planned. We all experience challenges and struggles and find ourselves searching for relief. I view therapy as a time to heal, grow, change, discover, and build. I have worked with clients to address such concerns as self-esteem, depression, anxiety, family and relationship issues, parenting, work and career concerns, life transitions, stress and coping, and grief and loss to name a few.

Our highly trained and compassionate therapists are here to help as am I. Whether you are experiencing crisis from COVID 19 or stress from everyday events, we are here. Life can quickly take a turn leaving us in shock, feeling like our future is uncertain and out of control. Seeking help processing is the first step to healing. Whether personally struggling with a diagnosis or the family member of someone who is, I am here. Are you dealing with a pending loss or a recent death? Regardless of the situation, loss is debilitating to those close to the situation. Know that you are not judged as you walk through this process.

On our journey through life we sometimes face challenges that lead us to seek out additional support. Life is messy and I am here to help you be intentional with your approach to treatment and pull on your strengths to get through the challenges you are facing. I work to create a safe, non-judgemental, and caring environment for you to process your struggles. Together we will work to find strategies and coping skills to decrease distress and work towards healing.

I specialize in LGBTQ+ care and am passionate about the queer community having a safe- non judgmental place to find providers that can assist with various needs no matter if they are questioning, transitioning, or just would like to talk to someone who is going to provide them quality care for their own day to day issues in a safe space. I also specialize in working with teens 13 and up dealing with coming of age issues and mood and emotional regulation.

The hardest step in change is asking someone for help. Therapy is a collaborative, coaching, and self-building journey where we work together to accomplish your desired goals. I enjoy working with men and women on depression, grief and loss, anxiety, men's issues, self-esteem, relationship challenges, obesity and weight loss, chronic pain, and long-term disabilities such as visual impairment.

I believe you have the potential to be healthy. I want to help you define and be comfortable who you are. Therapy with me is person-centered and collaborative around your desired life goals.

Are you feeling anxious or struggling to cope with many of life’s issues? Are you looking for help, support, or guidance? As a counseling therapist I strive to give my clients the best care possible. I value diversity & inclusion and I welcome clients exactly as they are. As individuals we all walk down different paths and it is my goal to walk beside those in their journey. I want to help create a safe and welcoming environment that allows growth and room for transformation.

Welcome! I would be honored to walk beside you in your healing journey. My years in the education and mental health fields have given me experience with varieties of age groups, diverse populations, and situations. I specialize in supporting children, teens, and young adults through behavioral concerns, neurodevelopmental diversities, or other mental health concerns. My approach is trauma-informed, culturally sensitive, strength-based, and person-centered. My goal is to provide you with a safe, trusting environment, to address and explore your issues as we move through the therapy process.

Starting or returning to counseling is rarely easy; it often means that you are facing a challenge that does not have a simple solution. Sharing what is on your mind may be a relief, but for many people, it is also anxiety provoking. Whether your concerns are present-focused or have roots in the past, we can create a space where you can process and grow through the obstacles you are facing. Areas in which I have special knowledge include trauma, anxiety, grief and loss, and life transitions. During sessions, you can expect me to express empathetic understanding, unconditional positive regard, and genuineness.

Being content, comfortable, and at peace with oneself is something many, if not all, wish to feel and experience. As a therapist that has walked alongside the journeys of individuals from diverse walks of life, I seek to empower individuals to be curious about oneself in order to live a life that brings you closer to understanding your past and fears of the future in order to live a present self-life. For many years I have worked with diverse populations, spanning many different cultures and ethnicities. With Spanish being my native language, I have had the privilege of working with many individuals from Spanish speaking countries.

The most important choice you will ever make is not the one you made yesterday, but the one you make today. Tomorrow is in the future, today is now, choose today. The time is now. I empower people to achieve personal, professional, and spiritual growth in their lives. I am committed to helping others change their lives by exploring personal strengths.

It is safe to say, life doesn’t always go according to plan. And at times seeking help and support is the most courageous step you can take. YOU are the narrator of your story, and it is my hope to guide you to be the best possible version of yourself. 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.

(Limited openings; weekends available). It can be difficult to find the right therapist. While I provide research-based psychotherapy, my approach is a bit more unique than other therapists; I implement humor and creativity, along with compassion and candidness, into each session while still meeting a client’s specific needs. My easygoing and laid back approach aligns with my target demographic of teens and young adults. Additionally, I also offer evaluations, assessments, and testing, including IQ, personality, and behavioral analysis, such as ADHD screening.

Everyone deserves to be seen, heard, understood and therapy is a great place to start. In therapy, I provide an accepting space to promote healing, and develop skills and strategies to overcome life's challenges. I believe therapy can help you accept yourself and begin to live a life based on who you truly are or who you want to be that is still evolving.
