Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapists in Rochester, MI

I am fascinated by the process of healing. To me, deep healing can begin when we have a safe place to tell our story. A place where we won't get interrupted, where someone won't try to "fix" us with their biases, where a genuine, caring person can give us the space to hear ourselves tell our story, to empathize with us, and to affirm us. I find people make the most significant strides in their journey toward healing when they evaluate alternatives and come to a reasoned conclusion themselves, without over-concern about what others think of them.

Your relationship is hurting. You are hurting. You’re not happy and you’re not sure where things went wrong, but the relationship doesn’t feel like it used to. What happened to the fun, the connection, the passion, the intimacy and the love? You’ve tried to fix things, but you and the relationship need help. You’ve gone through hard and traumatic experiences in your life. You’ve tried and tried to move on, to push through – to not let it affect you, but it feels like you’re still fighting each day to not let it drag you down. You’re in the right place for hope and to point your life and your relationships in a new better direction.

Healing begins to take place when we have a space to truly feel heard, understood, and seen. I seek to create this space where you feel safe to be you. Healing is a not a linear, one-size-fits-all experience, and I welcome multiple perspectives. I work with individuals and couples on a variety of topics including relationship difficulties, trauma, overwhelming thoughts & emotions, low self-esteem, and life transitions. I enjoy being emotionally present and journeying with people to discover their unique way to healing their lives and living a more joyful life.

"Mental health isn't a thing. Talking about feelings and experiences isn't going to help. Things will get better by just putting my head down and powering through. I'm strong, self-reliant, and I don't need any help. I'll be fine just the way I am." These are all valid thoughts and feelings for an individual to have and many people believe these statements are true. Stereotypically, men especially, fall into these thought patterns. The numbers reflect this, approximately 30% vs 70% of those seeking counseling are men vs women. We are taught men don't have feelings and if they do they sure as hell don't talk to anybody about them.

You feel trapped by painful memories, the constant negative chatter in your mind, & the continual feeling like you just can’t catch a break. You know you should be able to let go of the past, but the mean words, hurtful actions, & overall negative feelings you have related to your childhood haunts you. As much as you tell yourself it doesn’t matter what happened to you when you were younger, the past still seems to have an unforgiving grip on you. You know there is a way to grow from the pain that surrounds you daily, but you just aren’t sure how to get there.
