Therapists in Okemos, MI

After over 20 years of practice with adolescents, adults, and families I've learned that everyone has more strengths than they realize. These strengths are critical to your personal growth, recovery, and making whatever positive changes you want to in your life. And we've all seen that life can get tough. We all need help sometimes. Maybe you're struggling with depressed or anxious thoughts. Whatever you're facing, I'd love to help you draw on your own unique strengths and develop the skills and perspectives you need to start living the life you want.

Our approach is collaborative, trauma-informed, strengths-based, and empowerment-focused. We each come to you with specialized training and experience guided by the belief that you hold the tools to ease distress and become the best version of yourself. Our goal is to offer the space to support your therapeutic goals and overall personal growth.

Guiding clients to find their true and authentic lives is the primary goal of therapy intervention. As a clinician, I practice from a humanistic approach, which is both trauma-informed and individualized to meet each client's needs. Through compassionate, client-centered methodologies, I work with the client to develop an understanding that allows for healing and growth.

We specialize in addiction counseling for individuals who struggle with Substance Use Disorders and in many cases, underlying conditions of depression, anxiety, and trauma lead to and perpetuate substance abuse. Alcohol and/or drug use is a product of an inability to cope with conditions that a person cannot cope with interpersonally. We use strength based approaches and assume that you are doing the best you can right now. We also assume that you already hold answers or solutions. Together, we will bring them to fruition.

All I've ever wanted to do with my life is help people. I started my journey in 1997. I have experience working with survivors and perpetrators of domestic violence, teens and adults struggling with substance use disorders and/or co-occurring diagnoses as well as various levels of mild to moderate mental health. Although I use an array of therapy models, I'm most comfortable with Cognitive Behavioral Therapies.

I have over a decade of experience working with children and their families. Much of that work has been with children who have confusing and/or challenging behaviors, as well as children who are neurodiverse.

It can be isolating to be a parent of a child with baffling behaviors and/or neurodiversity and you need a place you can come to be accepted as you are.

I am a Mental Health Clinician with a passion for helping people navigate life's challenges. As a clinician, my primary goal is to work collaboratively with my clients, guiding them through the various processes and transitions that can be difficult to navigate alone. My counseling style is holistic and client-centered, which means that I focus on the whole person and their unique experiences, while allowing for the freedom of expression and collaboration. I believe that everyone's journey is unique, and that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to mental health.

I became a therapist because I believe healing is imminent. Every therapy session is an opportunity to remove barriers of judgment and shame that frequently block access to self-knowledge, self-compassion, self-acceptance, and self-appreciation. I’m passionate about and experienced in working with eating disorders, body image concerns, OCD, anxiety, ADHD, depressive disorders, culture shock/cultural integration, cultural/spiritual identity, international identity, and diversity-related issues.

Having trouble sleeping? Stress at work, school or relationships? Looking for coping skills? I'd love to help you! If you are struggling with your mental health, therapy is often a good starting point.

I am passionate about helping women, & adolescents who are going through the hardships life can bring us. Living in today's society brings challenges that can feel suffocating on top of daily life tasks and hardships. Avoiding painful areas of our lives can lead to addictions to cover up those feelings, however dulling the pain with harmful addictive behaviors can further add hurt to ourselves and the ones around us. We each have strengths and assets, instead of avoiding the challenging areas, I encourage clients to engage in personal growth and exploration, to dig in and discover the areas they can evolve and grow.

My job and my focus, is to help you navigate your way through any issue you are experiencing.
