Are you are dealing with a life transition (birth of baby, postpartum depression, parenting issues, divorce, grief/loss), struggling with anxiety/depression or dealing with boundary issues? Sometimes getting to the next chapter can seem ominous when pain is intense. Transformation is possible…I truly believe it! There is hope, a ‘second chance’ and restoration for you. I have worked as a therapist over 20 years with various situations.

Are you really bad at icebreakers? Or feel like a bundle of nerves when interacting with others? Even seeing people you like might elicit a feeling of dread. Dread of talking, dread of going to see them, dread of even getting ready to leave the house. A lot of our thoughts and feelings don’t always make sense. They don’t always match what we think we should be doing. We love these people, but we don’t want to go. Maybe you show up to work everyday, but you hate your job. Maybe your interaction with someone made you vey angry, even if it seems like it’s not a big deal.

As human beings, we are constantly striving toward becoming our most authentic selves. When we are living life authentically, we can envision a clear path toward what is truly important to us, and can build a life filled with purpose and joy. This journey toward authenticity can become complicated by challenges such as life stressors, past trauma, mental health issues, and more. When these challenges arise, I aim to provide guidance to my clients in helping them re-align with their values and come back to what is most important in their lives, once again illuminating the path toward authenticity.

We're all seeking to be understood and validated as people. Understanding and validation, when coupled with a healthy interpretation and resolution of life experiences, results in fulfillment, significance and even healthy functioning within relationships. I believe individual therapy should be the ultimate setting where the individual feels empowered to engage in a journey of self-discovery, gaining appropriate perspective of their life experiences.

Everyone deserves a sense of control over their lives. When terrible things happen it can feel like the wind has been knocked out of you. The world feels unsafe. Feelings of deep sadness, fear, shame and a rawness seem to linger. Many people feel as though they are damaged goods and wonder if they will ever be themselves again, or if they will ever be happy again. Imagine what it will be like when you have more good days then bad, when you feel the laughter, when you hear your child start to sing again. In a relaxed, safe environment you will receive support, encouragement, and the skills you need to thrive not just survive.

I can be of help if you are struggling with your child or adolescent rather than enjoying his or her gifts.

Unfortunately, I have NO current OPEN availability. Is a satisfying life, a life worth living, difficult for you to envision and/or create? Life is often very hard, especially when struggling with anxiety, trauma, depression, relationship problems and other psychological concerns. It is not uncommon, even for very strong people, to feel overwhelmed and unable to cope or incapable of making desired changes. At these times, a skilled and caring counselor may help you to find your way to a better life. Note: I am an individual therapist.

The experience of counseling has shown to deepen the richness of human experience as well as relationships. And that’s what I try to offer: An experience. I know a lot of stuff from books, but the meaning is different when what I know is relatable. Within counseling you and I explore what it is that you want to explore together while developing a collaborative understanding so you and I have a sense of common ground.

There are times when we need a little help getting through the anxiety, worry and other stressors that pull us down. You may be worried about your future and why your life is not going as planned. You may feel like you don't have a purpose. You are not alone. The first step is always the most difficult. The function of counseling is a journey of self-exploration, meant to increase the level of self-understanding and self-awareness. At Marigold Counseling, we would like to help foster and nurture that level of growth by creating a safe and supportive environment.

You may be feeling overwhelmed by a recent turn of events--the death of a loved one, a bad break-up, becoming a parent, changing careers. Or perhaps you're struggling with more longstanding issues (low self-esteem, for instance) that you've tried to resolve on your own. We face so many pressures about who we should be and how we should live our lives. Sometimes we end up hiding parts of ourselves or conforming to belong. And we lose touch with who we truly are and what makes us feel alive. This disconnection to our truth can lead to feeling not good enough, lonely, depressed and anxious. Imagine feeling whole and accepted..

What type of Lansing mental health professional is right for me?
While most types of therapy have a lot in common, they also fall into clusters that share core features, such as cognitive therapies or psychodynamic approaches. It is important to seek someone who practices evidence-based therapy, meaning one or more forms of treatment that have been scientifically evaluated and tested, and demonstrate consistent improvement for a majority of patients.
If you are unsure about choosing the right therapist or psychologist, it might be useful to first learn more about therapy types and modalities.

How to find a therapist or counselor in Lansing?
When looking to find a therapist, start by considering training and credentials. Studies also indicate that the therapeutic alliance, or the relationship the client develops with the therapist, is an important factor in their ability to work together to achieve the client’s goals.
