Therapists in Grand Blanc, MI

"The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts." Marcus Aurelius. I believe happiness is a choice, with that said, what is standing in the way of your happiness? Would it be relationship problems? Past trauma? Forgiveness? Finances? Stress from children? There could be endless reasons why happiness appears to be an unattainable goal or just an illusion. Let me help you work through what is preventing you from happiness, and begin experiencing a new way of life, a new you.

You may be struggling with issues such as anxiety, depression, relationship problems, or trauma. You want a therapist who can understand your feelings and provide a safe, non-judgmental environment for you to express your thoughts and emotions. I am here to provide the type of care that you are seeking.

As a therapist, I work with you to help you identify your desires and empower you to make those positive changes in your life. I understand that making the decision to seek help can be difficult, so I use an approach that is compassionate, direct and non-judgmental to help create an environment where you feel supported in your counseling journey. In 2000 I began my career working in the counseling field by helping individuals suffering with substance abuse and mental health disorders. I soon discovered my passion is helping individuals rebuild their lives and relationships by over coming struggles in life.

My goal as a therapist is to provide clients with a safe and supportive environment while encouraging and promoting them to grow mentally, intellectually, psychologically, socially and spiritually to reach their optimal potential of autonomy. I provide psychotherapy for children, adolescents, and adults. I am experienced in working with individuals with ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Marital counseling, divorce grief, anxiety, depression, PTSD, relationship/family counseling, grief, and spiritual counseling. I also provide mentoring and academic tutoring for children and adolescence.

I have been working in the education system for twenty years. During that time, I have learned that most children and adolescents just want to be heard. With all of the pressures and expectations put on children and adolescents today, they need a safe space to talk about what is going on in their homes, schools, neighborhoods and inside their heads.

*Now offering ADHD evaluations* My goal is to provide a relaxed environment where you feel free and supported to explore your thoughts and feelings. I work to help you recognize your true emotions that may be hiding behind initial reactions of defensiveness or anger. Together, we can identify maladaptive patterns of behavior that may be contributing to symptoms of depression or anxiety, or that may be creating barriers to communication. Identification of these patterns provides the opportunity to change them and ultimately find more joy in experiences, intimacy in relationships, and the ability to communicate effectively.

I provide direct, honest, and caring guidance. Many clients have expressed appreciation that I communicate with them in a clear, every day manner. I work to meet needs by listening and by drawing on research and professional experience to provide helpful, practical solutions and insight.

I am here to provide guidance, support, and practical tools that can help.
