Women's Issues Therapists in Okemos, MI

In my 25 years of clinical work, the majority of my clients want to solve a problem(s) or gain control of their life. Seeking out therapy can be difficult for a multitude of reasons. Reaching out to a therapist is similar to reaching out to a physician, chiropractor or physical therapist; healing! In counseling, you decide the goals you want to reach. I can assist you in determining your goals, if you're not sure of the starting point. The choice is yours!

Person-centered, solution-focused therapy for children, teens and adults. My treatment approach includes a blend of strength-based work, trauma-informed care and cognitive behavioral treatment.

Best fit for individuals experiencing stress, PTSD, depression, anxiety, relationship problems, as well as support with parenting challenges and life transitions.

Searching for a therapist takes tremendous courage, even if you have experienced therapy before. I would be happy to walk with you on your own personal journey of life & mental health. It is a privilege to help people realize their inner strengths and innate problem-solving skills, even in the darkest of times. My past experience is working on a psychiatric inpatient unit, where I developed my ability to form relationships quickly to support people's recovery. I believe in the power of a strong therapeutic relationship to help people achieve their goals, and value relationships in all realms of life.

It takes strength to ask for help. Each person lives a life full of unique circumstances and challenges. I believe in partnering with my clients to help them develop their potential and find the path that is right for them. My goal is to empower clients to live their best lives. I enjoy seeing the pride my clients have when they've succeeded in reaching their goals. These goals are often hidden in everyday stressors and the challenges we face, and by exploring challenges in a safe environment, I support my clients in unlocking their goals and fulfilling them.

I believe that resilience is in all of us and healing is a path we can choose to walk at any time if we are willing to take the first step. Sometimes even helping professionals need their own helper, someone to listen to their experiences and walk alongside them as they process the challenges of helping. Focusing on secondary traumatic stress and occupational stress issues I believe my role as a therapist is to support clients as they navigate their healing process.

Our goal in life is to be loved. We are remembered for how we make people feel. My goal as a therapist is to help families, couples and individuals with communication, coping and relationship skills to create a life that is this as loving and connected as possible. I have specialized in substance abuse for years. This has given me insight into abandonment issues, the need to escape to create emotional distance in relationships and how these types of patterns play out in relationships. My strengths are helping people to reconnect to their purpose in life and finding meaning in the relationships in their lives and rebuilding trust.

“It is often the small steps, not the giant leaps, that bring about the most lasting change.” I believe that therapy is a mutual process between the client and the therapist. In your day-to-day life it may be difficult to find someone who truly listens closely and non-judgementaly to what you are saying. You may experience a buildup of emotions and stress that takes a toll on your health and prevents you from being your best self. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is build on trust and respect.

We're going to laugh too. Unless you don't want to and in that case I will try really hard not be funny at all. What's your story?
