Therapists in Marshall, MI

Did you know that taking the step to look for a therapist is one of the scariest parts of seeking mental health services? You've made it so far already! Now lets get better acquainted so that I may assist you to become the best version of yourself that you can be! As a Limited Licensed Professional Counselor I incorporate empathy, psychoeducation, and empowerment into my therapeutic work. I prefer to adopt a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Person-Centered approach and believe firmly that therapy is a shared journey between the client and therapist.

I have experience working with a diverse array of clients from varying backgrounds with unique concerns. I enjoy working with couples, children, and adults, primarily those who have experienced trauma, the grief associated with a loss, and mood disorders such as depression and anxiety. My style and approach are personalized based on your needs, but are typically solution focused and rooted in empathy, partnership, and humor.

Therapy is a process of self-discovery. Often, I have found that clients who present for therapy may identify experiences of depression or anxiety that are secondary to trauma exposure in their childhood or recent history. Moreover, clients often have challenges in their relationships with others which stem from their relationship with self, and from early childhood experiences in their family of origin. These challenges can manifest in many areas.

My niche is working with women in various life stages; pregnancy, postpartum, miscarriages, fertility issues, motherhood, single, & married. As a therapist, it is important that I focus on overall well-being, so the theoretical orientation I practice is dependent upon my unique client. I am a firm believer that everyone can achieve personal growth and development. It is my responsibility to create a safe, inclusive, and inviting environment. I am a lifetime learner, investing in gaining as much knowledge as I can; this allows me to serve my clients to the best of my abilities while developing professionally and personally.

You are here for a reason, and we are all in this battle together. In other words, connected. We need to work together in an effort to get each person through. Therapy is about the journey into the destination. Whether you are someone who's been dealing with depression, anxiety, personality complexes, behavioral challenges, intrusive thoughts, or irregular emotions, substance abuse, trauma, treatment can be the first step in healing.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by life's challenges, struggling with anxiety or depression, or navigating through difficult transitions? As a counseling intern, I understand the complexities of the human mind and the courage it takes to seek support. My goal is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings openly. Whether you're seeking to improve your relationships, cope with past traumas, or simply find clarity in your life, I'm here to support you every step of the way.

It takes courage in recognizing the first step in your journey to healing. Making that initial call and asking for mental support can be daunting, but it is a journey you will continue to grow from throughout your life. I believe there must be a level of comfort and connection between therapist and client in order to feel emotionally safe and vulnerable. Together, we will work on creating a strong alliance that is built on trust, respect, and compassion. Recovery can be challenging, and may feel impossible- creating the space you need to explore your thoughts and behaviors can help you process where your feelings are coming from.

I understand therapy can feel daunting, and throughout my years of practice, I have come to believe that empathy and genuine understanding are the cornerstones of therapy. My approach is rooted in creating a safe and non-judgmental space where my clients feel free to explore their emotions and thoughts.

Every person deserves a chance to heal and psychotherapy is a gateway towards that healing process. I work with individuals including teens, adolescents, and adults struggling with anxiety, depression, interpersonal issues, and other mental health concerns. My goal is to provide the right tools, comfort and guidance to help you cope with any of your life’s stressors. Therapy is not a one-size-fits-all type of treatment and I prefer to integrate different approaches and find the direction that works best for you.
