Therapists in Michigan

My ideal client would be a child or teen, but can do adults if needed! Their issues could span a variety of areas. Coping with trauma, self-esteem issues, eating disorders and behavioral disorders are just a few areas of issues I can address. Their needs and goals may vary but adjusting to life situations, learning coping strategies and recognizing themselves as worthwhile people would be my goals.

As a Registered Play Therapist, I specialize in children ages 4-12 years. I engage them with both therapeutic play, creative arts interventions and therapeutic games. When children and young adolescents come to therapy they need to feel safe and enjoy the experience while learning skills to improve how they feel. When families come to therapy, they look for guidance from an experienced therapist who will join with their family and help them navigate through their family issues. Depression, anxiety, trauma, anger, divorce, adoption and life adjustments are all issues that lead many children and families to seek specialized treatment.

Do you feel stuck? Stuck in stress, stuck in family conflict, stuck in unhelpful habits, stuck in the midst of huge life transitions... Maybe you’re seeking change, but you don’t even know where to begin. Where are you “stuck”? I will tailor therapeutic support with your circumstances in mind— acknowledging your unique needs and strengths. By recognizing and honoring your distinctiveness, we will collaboratively navigate the complexities of your inner world and external challenges.

Often times the effects of old and new emotional wounds can become a person's way of life. This way of life tends to cause an individual to have feelings of loneliness, hopelessness/helplessness, thoughts leading to emotional pain, and ineffective actions that led to self-defeat. Are you dealing with emotional pain or after effects of a traumatic experience(s)? As a counselor I have aspirations to help empower you to overcome your inner battle and win! I am a licensed counselor who believes that inner healing is possible and understands the importance of having a quality of life.

I work with children, teens, and adults who have been through a traumatic experience, and other changes throughout life.

Through play, connection, and relationship building I use evidence-based practices to help support my clients where their needs are at.

Life can feel overwhelming to everyone at times! You are trying to balance work/family, friends, social life, as well as your own physical and mental health. Finding balance is something everyone can struggle with. I want to help you work toward finding balance in your physical health, emotional and spiritual health. Once a person finds that balance, everything falls into place. Grades/work performance improves, self-esteem builds, relationships improve, and we move toward a place of finding inner peace.

In the depths of despair, strength can emerge and resilience can be nurtured. These profound words from Cesar Chavez encapsulate the timeless truth that lies within each of us.

The time we live in today is increasingly stressful and complex for young people and families who are grappling with post-pandemic fears and health issues, in addition to complex family histories, relationships, identity issues, social media pressures and educational expectations. Many feel stuck, anxious and/or depressed, which comes out in their behavior. As the young person or their caregiver, you are understandably concerned. You want to learn why this is happening and how to make the hardship ‘go away’. Mental health is not just in the mind, but a function of the body, spirit, social influence and environment as well.

I work to create an affirming space to explore yourself and your identity, to process your emotions and experiences, and to support you in difficult moments, including navigating conflict with family and friends.
