Grief Therapists in Michigan
I have experience working with individuals who struggle to navigate and manage some of these internal conflicts, work and life balance, grief, and trauma.
Is a part of you feeling ready to engage in therapy but another part of you is anxious at the thought of becoming vulnerable? Or maybe there is a different part of you feeling hopeless, depressed, and wondering “Why even bother?” I will walk alongside you to assess the inner conflicts that may be present. Sometimes, the “inner conflict” happening is between these “parts.”

I believe everyone benefits from therapy in a safe, comfortable, non-judgmental environment. I help clients work through their past so they can enjoy the present and build a brighter future by changing negative thinking and building healthier habits. I have experience with those in the criminal justice system, domestic violence survivors and offenders, and those navigating depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, anger management, or body image challenges. I also work with athletes, families, and groups, as well as individuals transitioning careers or retirement.

My top areas of specialties are in trauma / PTSD, grief, and anxiety.
Trauma can leave wounds that linger. And, oftentimes, we feel these wounds most in our bodies: feeling on edge, shutting down when overwhelmed, struggling to trust, or carrying an unshakable sense of not feeling safe. For young adults and adults, trauma may look like persistent self-doubt, feeling stuck in survival mode, difficulty maintaining relationships, or working overtime to make sure everyone around you is taken care of. You may find yourself struggling to slow down, set boundaries, feel connected, or simply feel at ease in your own body.

I love empowering individuals ; helping them to heal, rise above their challenges, take personal ownership over their life, and learn to thrive in every circumstance. I take a strengths based approach to therapy. "Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it" - Helen Keller.

The clients with which I work best are those interested in a balance of exploration and practical solutions. I have heard it said that, "the past does not matter except for the ways in which it impacts the present." I promise I will not dive into the depths just to seem deep but also I promise not to stay cozy and comfortable if that is feeding an unhealthy status quo.
I have no hang-ups about what a person's background is or how they present. I only look to help a person define for themselves "a life worth living" and then figure out how to have it.

At some point in our lives, we will experience emotional and psychological distress. Most people will try to avoid or go through their distress without seeking help. People choose to do this because they are not sure how therapy will help them. Setbacks, failures, and tragedies are all a part of life. Therapy helps us understand why we act and respond in ways that cause us harm, get through rough times, strengthen our family ties, bonds and build healthier relationships. Therapy helps us to identify and process feelings and emotions, so that we can grow and move forward to lead more productive and quality lives.

I work with clients facing stress, anxiety, grief, life transitions, and faith-related challenges.
Welcome! Many people experience overwhelm, hurt, or feeling stuck. When this happens within (or because of) a religious setting, it can feel especially confusing and isolating. As a faith-based counselor, I specialize in clergy wellness and trauma-informed care within Christian communities. Spiritual hurt, distress, and anxiety are more common than we often acknowledge, yet they might go unnamed and unsupported. These experiences can create shame or disconnection, even though they are deeply human responses to confusing circumstances. If this sounds like your situation, there is space to slow down and feel what you need to feel.

Grief Therapists
How long does therapy take for grief?
There is no exact timeline for grief counseling. Some people may start to feel better after just a few sessions, while others may take months or longer to feel relief. Some specific approaches, including some types of CBT, may involve a set number of sessions, or therapy may be open-ended until the patient determines they are ready to wrap up. Just as there is no right or wrong way to grieve, there is no right or wrong way to seek therapy for grief.
When should you seek therapy for grief?
Many people mistakenly believe that their grief needs to be debilitating or all-encompassing to warrant therapy. This is not the case. While people who experience severe, prolonged grief—particularly those who are considering self-harm or engaging in unhealthy substance use—are especially likely to benefit from therapy, so too are people whose grief is less intense but still interfering with well-being or daily functioning. In practice, almost anyone struggling to process a loss could benefit from grief counseling.
Can grief be managed without therapy?
Oftentimes, yes. Grief is a near-universal part of being human, and many find that their grief, while profound, does not stop them from participating in day-to-day life and steadily eases over time without outside help. For others, however, the harsh pain of early grief persists for months or years or leaves them unable to function. This group is especially likely to benefit from seeing a therapist, who can guide them through their grief and help them reconnect with the world.
What happens if grief is left untreated?
Because grief does not in itself necessitate therapy, untreated grief will often resolve on its own. However, for some people—particularly those who would qualify for a diagnosis of prolonged grief disorder—untreated grief can be a source of seemingly endless pain or lead them to withdraw from the world. In such cases, treatment can be indispensable, as it can help an individual adapt to the loss and start living again.
