Grief Therapists in Michigan

Life can sometimes throw painful and unexpected things your way that you didn't expect like the loss of a loved one or child, sudden changes, or shocking news of all kinds. You may struggle to determine how to handle these new challenges. Fortunately, you do not have to do it alone. I provide a safe space to process and unpack grief , life stressors, and trauma through empathic listening, exploration, processing difficult past or present situations, increasing self awareness, getting you in touch with your body mind connection, and helping you better understand you more fully.

Do you feel like you are going through life transitions alone? Are you having a hard time adjusting to certain situations and don't have the skills to get through it? No one should have to go through difficult times alone. Don't be afraid to seek the help you need in a setting that is non-judgmental and safe. You won't experience negativity or criticism here. You deserve to be heard and validated for how you feel and see the world.

You have the freedom to live your life as you find most meaningful for you. Often, we can feel limited by circumstances around us, both within and outside our control. The daily challenges and demands of life and the hardships brought by specific tragedies can further deprive us of our senses of self and of the world. Whether it be depression, anxiety, grief , coming-of-age, questions of identity, or something else entirely, my focus is to help you work through such challenges openly, honestly, and bravely so you can reclaim your freedom.

Looking for a therapist who isn’t afraid to be creative? Who can help you navigate heavy, complicated, sticky life stuff? At many of life’s crossroads, we are forced to question who we are and what we believe in. This can be one of life’s most exciting pursuits (even though it's often scary). I work with teens and adults who are in states of grief and loss , are struggling with anxiety or depression, or trying to explore their identity or spirituality. With a background in psychology and the arts I like taking a creative approach in therapy.

It is an extremely brave step to enter into therapy. I am truly honored to be invited into the lives of my clients. I provide a safe non-judgmental atmosphere where my clients feel comfortable exploring their innermost thoughts and feelings. Therapy is about identifying beliefs, thought patterns and behaviors that hold people back from achieving their highest potential. If therapy is successful, a client will develop the hope, clarity, courage and self-acceptance necessary to make positive changes in their life.

Everyday life can be difficult. Parenting children can be difficult. There is hope. Are you depressed? Feeling stressed? Facing major life changes? Worried about your child’s behavior? Talking with a therapist will help. My approach is client-centered, which means it’s all about you. I do not have a pre-conceived agenda or formula. I will listen to your concerns and ask you what your goals are, and we’ll start there. If you are not even sure about your goals, that’s ok too, we’ll work together to sort things out.

Life is full of surprises. No matter how much you prepare and plan, unexpected events may occur. I believe that therapy is an essential tool to help prepare you to cope with the unexpected as well as the stressors of everyday life. I am passionate about normalizing therapy by educating people on the benefits and necessity of having an unbiased listening ear to help work through life events. I strive to provide a comfortable environment where clients feel safe to share their most vulnerable thoughts and ideas. I will work as an advocate to help my clients become empowered in their ability to cope with whatever life throws at them.

My mission as your therapist is to help you through what ever life has thrown your way. My goal as your therapist is to help support you and help you reach whatever goals that you have set for yourself. I like to motivate people to see all the potential that they carry.

Hello. I work with late teens, young adults and adults as they meet the challenge of difficult emotions such as: sadness, anxiety, loneliness, frustration, anger, fear, disappointment, grief . Navigating what a full life has to offer can be complicated and at times surprising; relationship problems, school issues, parenting concerns, family conflict, multicultural issues can leave us feeling uncertain and alone. Life transitions can bring their own unique challenges: marriage/partnering, pregnancy, childbirth, medical and/or mental health diagnoses, divorce, blending family, death and dying each can challenge our usual coping skills.

Hurts can be healed, past or present. While I work with many different issues, I specialize in working with people with trauma, those who are grieving or struggling with any kind of loss , couples and relationship issues, and compassion fatigue for those who care for others.
