Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists in Rockford, MI

I have a broad range of clients that I am grateful to serve. I have worked with teenagers/parents, and young adults and am able to serve those who are struggling with life stressors whether it be relationship issues, identity discovery, healing from past experiences, or working on life transitions.

Life can be stressful and adding a chronic illness like diabetes, to the equation, only makes it all the more challenging. Having a therapist who also understands the mental and emotional side of diabetes can be crucial. People living with diabetes often seek a mental health professional who already "gets it" when it comes to understanding diabetes. In my practice, I come along clients, building off of their existing strengths, to increase their coping strategies for depression, anxiety, trauma, stress management, diabetes burnout, and fear of low blood sugars, etc., empowering them to live with a greater sense of wellbeing.
