Therapists in Michigan

I enjoy working with teens, adults, and couples on a variety of issues. I utilize a cognitive-behavioral approach to therapy where we work on identifying problems and the underlying issues. A treatment plan is developed for each client where we set goals and develop strategies to accomplish the goals. I strive to reduce symptoms, improve coping skills, increase awareness, and increase the client's feeling of control over his or her own life situation.

I enjoy working with clients from diverse backgrounds. Each individual brings new and different elements to culturally reoccuring problems. Our work together usually enriches us both. As a CBT therapist, I believe the value of changing thoughts, beliefs and attitudes. These strategies are especially effective for anxiety, depression, addictions, anger and interpersonal interactions. I am also an advocate for personal choice and self care. So while changing thoughts and attitudes is helpful, the client decides which thoughts and attitudes they want to change. Finally, I supplement CBT with practical strategies for relationships, healthy lifestyles, relaxation, problem solving and general coping.

Everyone deserves a sense of control over their lives. When terrible things happen it can feel like the wind has been knocked out of you. The world feels unsafe. Feelings of deep sadness, fear, shame and a rawness seem to linger. Many people feel as though they are damaged goods and wonder if they will ever be themselves again, or if they will ever be happy again. Imagine what it will be like when you have more good days then bad, when you feel the laughter, when you hear your child start to sing again. In a relaxed, safe environment you will receive support, encouragement, and the skills you need to thrive not just survive.

Hello! I wanted to use this space to share a little about my approach to therapy to see if we'd be a good fit for each other. My approach revolves around you, the client. I believe that you are the expert of your story, your experiences, your struggles, and your goals for therapy. I will meet you where you are and provide warmth, acceptance, and empathy. I enjoy building modalities and interventions based on your needs and interests and finding what works best for you. Recognizing that as this all can be a challenging and hard thing to do, I want to create a safe and validating place for you so we can tackle what needs tackling.

We focus is on providing mental health care that is thoughtful, attentive and individualized to your unique needs. We use evidence-based treatment methods that incorporate the mind and body to foster happiness, wholeness, and authentic living. Making mindful changes to self-defeating behavior, challenging negative narratives and learning how to cope with difficult feelings opens you up to life-altering results. Our therapists at Simply Mindful Counseling will join with you to help simplify your journey and to support you in finding your true path. The hardest part is making the decision to embark on the therapeutic journey.

Therapy can be a welcomed invitation to explore our inner world and how it relates to the development of ourselves, our way of making meaning in this world and our relationships. I believe that each person is valuable for who they are. My hope is to provide a unique and safe space for clients. I utilize an integrative approach to therapy that surrounds the therapeutic relationship and the individual needs of my clients. I strive to create a judgment-free, and compassionate environment where you can explore and examine your past and present.

As human beings, we are constantly striving toward becoming our most authentic selves. When we are living life authentically, we can envision a clear path toward what is truly important to us, and can build a life filled with purpose and joy. This journey toward authenticity can become complicated by challenges such as life stressors, past trauma, mental health issues, and more. When these challenges arise, I aim to provide guidance to my clients in helping them re-align with their values and come back to what is most important in their lives, once again illuminating the path toward authenticity.

I provide caring support to clients with emotional, behavioral, academic and professional needs. Some of the areas I support include: Depression, Anxiety, Autism, Learning Disabilities, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Healthy Aging, and Self-Esteem Difficulties. I provide Psychotherapy along with Executive Function interventions. My approach includes a strength-based model to support clients in creating and meeting the goals they establish for their own growth. I am enthusiastic about helping individuals to find their strengths and to be their personal best.

I strive to create an open space for you to share your story and be your authentic self. I will work to support you as you navigate your healing journey. You have the right to be heard, feel empowered, and have your beliefs acknowledged. I work off of the empowerment framework pulling techniques from different modalities to tailor sessions to clients’ specific needs

Life does not always give us the opportunity to slow down and process all of the experiences that it throws at us.
