Therapists in Wyoming, MI

Life is complicated. Life’s complications know no economic, age, sex, religious or racial boundary. If you are currently working to navigate through a difficult time it would be my privilege to work alongside you to set goals and realize & regain your strengths to develop a long-term plan for success.

Finding the courage to search for a therapist can be the most difficult part of your journey. I am so proud to see you made it here. I offer a safe and welcoming space for children, teens, and young adults (7-21) to discuss issues like anxiety, depression, school conflicts and overall life stressors. My ideal client is a child or teen with anxiety.

My mission is to provide evidence-based mental health services, education and advocacy in an integrative and holistic way (Biopsychosocial and spiritual) in order to bring about healing and transformation in individuals, families and communities. My career emphasis is on anxiety, depression, substance abuse issues, sexual addictions, sexual trauma, co-occurring disorders, and mid-life issues. I am a cross-culturally competent counselor who highly values and respects cultural differences. I am also committed to life-long learning and being able to make sound ethical decisions within diverse cultural contexts.

I'm interested in working with clients who are curious about learning more about themselves and willing to continue the work outside of session in order to maintain growth. My ideal client is someone who is open to explore how creative processes might lend a fresh perspective to their healing & growth. I feel honored being able to be part of a person's healing journey & to participate in their growth. Helping empower others to honor their own intuition is a big goal for me as a therapist.

I feel that change is an inevitable part of life regardless of whether we choose to accept or resist it. Life will present us with challenges and opportunities, and it is our job to figure out how to navigate them. Processing through the emotional effects of change can be uncomfortable. As individuals we are constantly evolving, and it is important to be mindful of the ways in which we experience life's changes. Safety and comfort are key, and I am mindful of this as I help you grow.

Secular psychology has many models for helping people live psychologically and socially healthy lives. And while there is value in these approaches, they are at root secular and not founded upon a religious or spiritual understanding of reality. For some people, the spiritual or religious is central to who they are and how they live. These people are not comfortable with the secular notion that one can be fully healthy while ignoring God. As a Christian, who is trained in secular psychology and Christian theology, I offer as an option a Christian counseling approach that attempts to incorporate the best of both worlds.

As we age, I can't help but think that our lives may go off the path we originally intended. While life can be full of many positive changes and events, there may also be experiences in which one may develop feelings of shame, guilt, anxiety, and/or depression. It can be hard to recognize life isn't always 'perfect' and to determine how and where to give up control. It can be difficult to embrace the good and bad parts of our lives; but it can be just as empowering to develop the next chapter just as you would like it to be. My goal is to help you leap into the unknown, build more authenticity and awareness, and start living a life with more fulfillment.

I'm very interested in a person's patterns. It's been my experience that a person's patterns often serve to increase or maintain their symptoms of depression and anxiety. Different patterns that consistently impact these symptoms include communication style, emotional expression, connection to others, and how someone addresses problems. My work focuses on identifying patterns, understanding how they influence symptoms and behaviors, and then helping someone make decisions about how to change them. My hope is that people end their work with me with increased self-awareness, improved relationships, and a sense of wholeness.

My specialty is psychological testing. I believe that a thorough evaluation can be a powerful tool in providing clients with clarity regarding their symptoms.

As a therapist, my aim is to provide support to people as they deal with life's challenges. Life can be overwhelming and I enjoy helping people navigate the challenges that arise in a healthy way. I specialize in working with those who experience depression, low self-esteem, and/or have a history of trauma. During sessions, I focus on creating an emotionally safe space so that together, we can explore your concerns and help you move towards healing. If appropriate, I am comfortable incorporating your spirituality in sessions. I believe in the mind/body/spirit connection and am open to exploring this in session as well.

You are not what has happened to you in the past, but how you are able to overcome and grow from the situation. I understand life can be complicated. These complications know no economic, age, sex, religious, or racial boundary. As a practitioner working with individuals to empower them is my passion and privilege. If you are currently working to navigate through a difficult time we can work together to set goals, realize and regain your strengths to develop a long-term plan for success. There are times when everyone needs to strengthen his or her coping skills, see the situation from another view, or simply say it aloud.
