Adults Therapists in Lapeer, MI

**Best reached by email**It has been some time now that things have not been feeling "right." Your relationship is not as fulfilling as you want it to be. Things feel off or disconnected. Maybe someone you love has died and it still hurts everyday just as it did the day you lost them. Maybe you have been holding onto something tragic; something you have never told anyone. Sometimes we are not really sure what it is that is troubling us, but we know we cannot keep living life feeling the way we do. We just want to feel better. We want to feel like our old selves again.

Lapeer Christian Counseling offers services to children, teens and adults of all faiths. We believe that all people should have access to quality mental health care, regardless of income or insurance coverage. We now have 3 locations in Lapeer county: Lapeer, North Branch, and Imlay City. Whether you are a follower of Christ, don't believe at all, or are somewhere in between, our counselors will meet you where you are in your search for freedom from anxiety, depression, relationship issues, school/job stresses, etc. If you prefer not to discuss your spiritual beliefs in counseling, we respect that and will not make it a focus

I believe that within every person you have the tools to find what you need, but sometimes it is difficult to know where to start. My role as a therapist is to build a safe and nonjudgmental partnership to support you in connecting with your own inner wisdom and capacity for growth, healing, and transformation. I combine your knowledge of your own life with my training and experience to support you as a whole person in the context of your intersecting identities, experiences, and environment. My specialty is working with young adults and adults who are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, shame, and grief.

Life can be messy, challenging and difficult at any age. I believe that counseling provides a much-needed break in a hectic week for decompression, self-examination, and consideration of change. My role as your counselor is to provide a safe, welcoming space that invites you to unpack your concerns. I work with you to develop an individualized treatment plan that highlights your goals and interests, purposefully integrating mind, body and spirit. In doing so, we create a path which allows you to develop insights, identify potential solutions and ultimately take action to create positive change in your life.

Life isn’t always easy, but you don’t have to do it alone. I believe everyone deserves empathy and support in navigating life’s ups and downs. I started my career as a music therapist, and I believe music (and creativity in general) is an essential part of being human. I enjoy utilizing music in sessions and considering how musical interventions like songwriting, singing, or music listening could be one part of your healing journey. But, if that’s not your style, that is ok! Whether you’re looking for traditional talk therapy, music therapy, or a little of both, my goal is to create the therapeutic experience that works for you.

As your therapist, my goal is to offer you a dedicated place to navigate life’s challenges and to offer you tools that will help you foster long-term growth and change. Whether those challenges include anxiety, depression, PTSD, LGBTQ or grief, I want to work with you to increase your quality of life.

I believe therapy is a mutual process between the client and the therapist. The therapeutic relationship is built on trust and respect. My goal is not to "fix" someone's problems; but to offer my clients the tools to foster growth and change within themselves and their own life through the exploration of techniques, self reflection and various art mediums.

I implement a straight- forward holistic approach to care, while maintaining a nurturing, non-judgmental, and empathetic therapeutic environment. I believe achieving a greater level of wellness and fulfillment through self-awareness and acceptance helps to contribute to individual and relational growth, along with positively impacting the creation of a happy, healthy lifestyle. Further, I bring real-life experiences coupled with professional knowledge and expertise into the clinical setting, which helps to create a strong therapeutic alliance with my clients.

One of my professional idols, Irvin Yalom, MD, coined one of my favorite terms, "Fellow Travelers." We are all Fellow Travelers...and at any given time, we are at one crossroads or another in life. I am here to meet you at your crossroads. I provide a collaborative psychotherapy with adults and teens. I have a broad range of experience in working with individuals experiencing Depression, Anxiety, and all sorts of major life adjustment issues. My therapeutic orientation is primarily Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy while incorporating eclectic ideas including Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, DBT-Informed, and Neuropsychotherapy.

From setting boundaries, to communicating feelings, to coping with difficult situations, everyone can benefit from a supportive and growth-centered environment. I aim to provide that safe space for all of my clients. I have extensive experience working with both children and adults, both individually and in family-centered treatment. I approach therapy in a collaborative way and focus on helping my clients understand themselves, their experiences, and their goals. I want to meet you where you are at and help empower you to grow where you want to grow.

Stressed, depressed, overwhelmed? When you feel you have no one to talk with who understands you and really listens, its time to reach out for help. You are unique and so are your problems. When you believe there is no hope, there is. If your coping methods are no longer working and you are sabotaging your health and relationships, its time to learn new ways to cope. You deserve to feel better, think clearer, regain hope, and trust in someone again. You may be tired of weight loss programs that don't work and tired of being overweight but not knowing what to do about it.

Tapas is a Sanskrit word that describes the heat and friction that are necessary for change; it is our willingness to endure intensity for the sake of transformation. Change can be difficult; asking for the help it sometimes takes to make those changes can be even harder. I understand just how hard that first step can be. I will work diligently alongside of you to create a safe, caring space to explore your challenges and successes!

Choosing to enter into counseling is not an easy decision. My main goals as a therapist are: 1. To provide the client with a safe environment in order to help them feel comfortable expressing themselves. 2. To gather as much information as possible in order to address their unique needs & provide the best counseling. 3. To utilize a variety of approaches and tailor the counseling to each individual to help the client live with more peace & purpose. Being flexible, knowledgeable & open as a therapist is important. I participate in continuing education on a regular basis in order to provide relevant counseling for my clients.

I enjoy a good challenge. I enjoy working with several different type clients. Lately I have been working with gamblers and really enjoy the challenges they present. I have a long history of working with children and know a lot about ADHD. Additionally, I enjoy discussing how GOD can change us and How to be Free. If you want to discuss your concerns please contact me. I have developed a private office where I can do a sliding scale for people who want counseling but may be limited in resources.

As we move through life, challenges can either keep us stuck or propel us into new ideas, perceptions, and growth. Counseling and life coaching can help navigate those challenges with a positive, healthy mind set. The healthier our mind set, the healthier our relationships will be with our self and others. Depression, anxiety, trauma, can hold us hostage from living our best life. Eclectic therapeutic approaches such as cognitive behavioral, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and others can help bring awareness and change and lead you to a happier, more fulfilling life.
