Therapists in Kalamazoo, MI
Are you struggling with OCD or anxiety? Do these struggles make it difficult to live the life you want? Therapy can be a way to help you better manage mental health and refocus on what's most important to you. I provide evidence-based care for multiple disorders, including various anxiety disorders, emetophobia (fear of vomiting) and OCD. It is not uncommon when seeking therapy to feel unsure about where to start, and to wonder how it can help with managing mental health difficulties. The therapy I provide involves creating a warm, accepting environment and use of behavioral treatments to create change and improve symptoms.

Who are we kidding? Life is crazy and we all need someone in our corner! You are a unique person, and your challenges are too. I'm here to help you make sense of the craziness. I grew up frequently moving between my parents and family, and untimely ended up in the foster care system. With substance abuse in my family system, being a child and adult child of a dysfunctional family is something with which I am very familiar. I decided to pursue my education and help others instead of perpetuating the toxic family system.

I am passionate about working with clients that are interested in creating positive changes in their lives. Internal motivation, I believe, plays a huge part in gaining control over yourself and the environment around you. People can do astounding things if they only believe in themselves and that can start with someone else believing in them first.

My ideal client is one that is struggling but wants to improve. Neurodevelopmental disorders are my JAM! ADHD, Learning Disabilities, and Autism Spectrum Disorders is where I direct much of my clinical experience. It's important to me that my clients (and their parents/families/teachers) understand the uniqueness of their disorder and how to turn a perceived deficit into a SUPERPOWER. All children are wonderful gifts, and I love helping children discover and embrace their best selves. A diagnosis does not define you, your child, or your family.
