Therapists in Okemos, MI

I specialize in working with those who are anxious, overwhelmed, burnt out, and in need of re-balancing work, school, home and the million things that require our attention daily. I work with single, partnered, married, straight and queer-identifying individuals. I want to create space for you to consider your needs and how to meet them; to help you believe that you are enough and are deserving of the things you need and want in life.

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.

We are the masters of our own destiny, and happiness is a choice. Life stressors and struggling with a mental illness can make us lose sight of our inner power. I use innovative therapies to help you reach your full potential. I offer individual therapy, telehealth sessions only at this time. Finding and claiming your inner power is an empowering journey, and it is an honor to walk along side you.

Do you feel overwhelmed with anxiety, frozen with worry, or lost in endless doomscrolling? Let me help you navigate a path forward. I specialize in issues of anxiety, family conflict and parenting for adolescents and adults ages 14 and up. My passion is helping you feel your best with an integrated approach to wellness that incorporates mind, body, and spirit, through psychotherapy, nutrition, movement, and spiritually-based mindfulness.

I believe that everyone needs some extra support at times. My goal as a therapist is to work collaboratively with clients to help them find their way through life’s challenges. Encouraging the client as the expert on their own life, I draw from an eclectic, strengths-based, approach in all my interventions.

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 work best with people who can be serious about therapy but also understand that it is just as okay to laugh as it is to cry. People who are willing to try something different and are okay with telling me that they are absolutely not going to try something. I work best with people who understand that I am not here to judge or scold them but to help them reach their goals. I am here to walk alongside my clients and guide them as they find their way. I have extensive experience working with people who have experienced trauma, have depression and/or anxiety and who have struggled with life changes.

Sometimes life can be challenging, to the point that you might feel overwhelmed with everything that is occurring and finding someone to talk to can be difficult at best. I use Integrative psychotherapy techniques in my work with adolescents, adults, & couples which allows me to consider the individual characteristics, preferences, needs, abilities, spiritual beliefs, & motivation level of each individual client and presenting concern. By combining elements drawn from different schools of psychological theory & research I aim to be more flexible & inclusive, making therapy something to look forward to.

At this time I am not accepting new clients. After 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.

Life changes happen to all of us. Sometimes they happen all at once and sometimes they happen over a long period of time. Maybe you've found yourself struggling to adjust to a major life change or maybe you've realized that it's time to talk about issues that have been building over many years. Whatever the case, I believe that now is the just the right time to begin the process of healing, building connection, and living wholeheartedly.
