Therapists in Michigan

Choosing to enter into counseling is not an easy decision. My main goals as a therapist are: 1. To provide the client with a safe environment in order to help them feel comfortable expressing themselves. 2. To gather as much information as possible in order to address their unique needs & provide the best counseling. 3. To utilize a variety of approaches and tailor the counseling to each individual to help the client live with more peace & purpose. Being flexible, knowledgeable & open as a therapist is important. I participate in continuing education on a regular basis in order to provide relevant counseling for my clients.

I am a Master’s Level clinical psychologist focusing on treating adolescents, and adults in a variety of areas. I treat people struggling with substance abuse, trauma, addictive behaviors (including pornography, sex, eating, gambling, video games, etc.), communication, sports/performance, anger, and work-related issues. I am particularly sensitive to the specific needs of first responders and veterans. I work with individuals from all walks and stages of life. In addition to providing therapy, I am a professor at Concordia University in Ann Arbor, in both the Justice and Public Policy and Psychology departments.

I am an advanced, skilled, trained clinician with 30+ years experience in therapeutic practice. Are you feeling depressed/anxious, upset/irritable? Are you grieving?

GRACE Center is a fully licensed and accredited substance abuse counseling facility serving Crawford and its surrounding counties. Our staff is experienced in a variety of treatment methods, which we put to use for the people who come to us for help.

My ideal client is someone who admits they need help due to the fact that what they have been trying thus far is not working. They are looking to better themselves or help remedy life conflicts, stress, trauma, addiction, or daily life struggles. A client who is ready to engage in having a thoughtful, nurturing, safe space to help them move to a healthier life style and finding peace within. My new and ongoing training aligns with my core-values and therapeutic approach. I am confident the more I continue to learn, the better I am equipped to serve the individual needs of my clients.

I am a Limited Licensed Psychologist specializing in EMDR Therapy.  I use EMDR to treat the impacts of traumatic events, PTSD, grief, anger, and addictions including substance and sexual addictions. I primarily work with Veterans and First Responders, and individuals on the front lines of taking care of others. When you face the dangers of the world head-on on a daily basis, asking for help may feel counterintuitive. At the same time, avoiding problems, thinking they will get better on their own, or denial of their existance (despite the evidence) is a guaranteed path to less-than-ideal outcomes.

I believe in being fully attentive and engaged in the therapy process. I bring nearly 40 years of experience conscientiously doing my own work in the hopes of offering that wisdom to my clients. In therapy, you may find me challenging, but my focus is always on your goals. My real skill is in facilitating a greater emotional and psychological understanding that leads to change.

If you are looking for a safe, nonjudgmental atmosphere to discuss life's challenges, or you require enhanced discretion because of your unique circumstances, ACW will always strive to accommodate your needs.

Overall, I consider myself a "worldly nurturer". "Worldly", because I have worked with people from all backgrounds, cultures, ages, and walks of life to "nurture" their potential. All of my experiences have taught me the foundational skills that I use in my profession today, which are: patience, the ability to listen, the understanding that listening is as paramount as speaking, the capabilities to be resourceful, valuing modesty and humility whilst still being confident and capable, and having faith in my skill-set while still being open to professionally growing and developing.

I work with people who want change from a variety of concerns. No matter what it is, I believe we can all change and find a life we deserve and are happy with. I believe a therapist’s role is to help people find a life they never thought was possible, not just a life they once had. Additionally, I provide the services of Substance Use Disorder evaluations for individuals who are seeking driver's license reinstatement through the Secretary of State Driver's License Appeal And Assessment Division.

Being a transparent person and working in the field of addiction has helped me relate and understand others in their recovery journeys. My purpose today is to help others figure out their ways that they want to live a healthier better life and how they can do that with talk therapy. The ideal client would be someone that is open and willing to make changes in their lives and to grow by self reflecting on where they want to go in their future.

There are few things more profound than the human capacity for growth, resilience, and connection. In my practice, I identify and explore options with clients to empower them to nurture these abilities and create an optimal state of being. I maintain a warm and engaging style that allows clients to share their stories, heal, and achieve their goals.

Greetings! Whether you're contemplating making some changes or have already decided to do it, let's work together to set some realistic goals to help you achieve personal growth and well-being.
