Bisexual Therapists in Middleville, MI
Life is like a ball of yarn. It starts wrapped up nicely in a neat fashion. As time goes on it becomes tangled, knotted, and difficult to unravel. My goal as a therapist is to help you unravel those difficult emotions and encourage you when it seems like the knot will never come undone. I use body work, mindfulness, and person-centered approaches in my practice. During sessions we may sit on the floor, move our bodies, grab a cozy blanket or have a warm cup of tea. My goal is to help you find a place of peace in life.

Most of my clients come to me with anxiety, obsessive compulsive, or trauma disorders. They find their worlds shrinking as a result and aren't sure how to break the cycle. For clients with anxiety and trauma disorders, I use exposure therapy to break cycles of fear, anxiety, and avoidance. I also see clients troubled by marginalization due to identity, relationship struggles, substance use, and psychotic disorders, and they too deal with pain that gets in the way of what's important in their lives. They often feel trapped or stuck and want to find a way through the barriers keeping them from meaning and purpose in their lives.

Are you and your partner stuck in a frustrating cycle of dealing with the same problems on repeat? Does blame and defensiveness get in the way of talking out your differences? Over time, unresolved issues can put major distance between you, stifle the passion, and leave you both feeling alone, despite longing for deeper connection. You may even start to avoid certain conversations altogether or walk on eggshells so you don't upset each other. When this happens, it seems like you two aren't on the same team - and that's a devastating feeling when you love someone so much and just want to find a way through.

Therapy saved my life. After experiencing years of interpersonal relationship abuse and a lifetime of religious trauma, therapy helped pull me from an incredibly dark place and give my life purpose and direction again. In 2019 I decided to pursue a master’s in social work so that I could help others experience hope, maybe for the first time. If you are struggling with the feelings of hopelessness and loss after leaving your religion, estrangement from your family of origin, or having difficulty navigating normal daily life after experiencing trauma, I want to help. I help those with PTSD as well as members of the LGBTQIA+ community.
