For whatever reason you are seeking therapy, I want to commend you for taking this first step. I am here for you. For me, the relationship between client and therapist is crucial. It is my goal to create a safe space for my clients to feel comfortable and cared for. Being vulnerable is not easy and having a judgement-free, compassionate environment is essential for us to work together toward your therapy goals. Using a strength-based lens I love to empower my clients to help them recognize their inner strengths. I work from a humanistic approach where I aim to understand my clients from their own identities and upbringing.
I am very direct in my approach. I use CBT & psychodynamic therapy techniques so that I can blend the past with the present and begin to reframe toward the future. For couples, I utilize the Gottman Method as a basis for intervention, where I help each couple understand one another in order to work together toward a mutual goal for the relationship.
Whether you need help understanding your emotions or feel ready to love and accept yourself, reach out to me and we can start your journey together side by side. Contact me on here, or feel free to contact Lake Michigan Counseling Services and ask for Olivia. My office at Mind Body Baby offers childcare, you can book ahead at the Mind Body Baby website.

I blend psychodynamic therapy, relational therapy, and the Gottman Method to help couples uncover unconscious patterns, and improve communication. This integrative approach deepens self-awareness, heals relational wounds, and builds stronger, more connected partnerships. With individuals I use psychodynamic interventions, CBT, and ACT to explore root patterns to build tools for lasting change
