Life offers challenges. At Journey Thru we aim to help each person who walks through our doors identify their challenges and walk with them as they choose healing. We are unique as we offer 3 separate therapists, each with their own specialty who are highly qualified in the fields of substance abuse, women's issues, relationship struggles, children and adolescence. We know it is difficult to call, but life is too short to wait any longer.

I believe it is important to help each client feel comfortable, valued, and respected during the therapeutic process. My approach focuses on helping you achieve a healthy, satisfying lifestyle by encouraging long-lasting changes to target and diminish the symptoms that led you to seek services. I work effectively with adolescent and adult clients struggling with anxiety, depression, adjustment issues, and relationship problems. To ensure that every client feels confident in the counseling process I offer a free 20 minute consultation for new clients to answer any questions you may have about getting started.

I believe everyone deserves a counselor: a person who will listen, non-judgmentally, and support you through challenges. I am currently working virtually only - and, therefore, can take clients across Michigan.

Life can be difficult and sometimes we find ourselves feeling stuck, stressed, and lost. I seek to provide an affirming, nonjudgmental, and compassionate therapeutic environment to help you navigate life’s challenges and work toward a healthier and more meaningful life. My work involves helping people to explore the impact of past experiences, understand unhelpful patterns in their thinking and relationships, process painful emotions, and learn new skills to cope with their distress.

Carol Rodgers once said If we are able to accept ourselves just as we are, then we can change. Likewise, I believe that everyone has the unique ability to discover significance within themself. This path to personal development is often found within the context of meaningful relationships. A therapeutic relationship can offer helpful guidance towards radical acceptance, profound healing and transformational growth.

Life can be challenging, and you don't have to go through it alone. If you're seeking a closer, more meaningful relationship with your partner, desiring a better connection with your kids, or longing for a deeper sense of fulfillment and meaning in life, therapy can provide the support and guidance you need. My practice is dedicated to providing support to women and couples as they navigate through various challenges such as marital conflict, relationship issues, depression, anxiety, stress, PTSD/trauma, and the pursuit of a more meaningful life.

You know all the right things about mental health, but your emotions still feel overwhelming. People often comment about how well-adjusted your are or compliment you on your success, but in truth, you don't feel this way. You feel stuck in your mind and struggle to process what you feel so that your can heal. It's even possible that you have tried therapy before, but you weren't able to achieve the change you wanted. If you relate to this, I can help you better understand what is going on and we can work together to get back to your most natural self.

My work consists of providing a welcoming, profoundly non-judgmental atmosphere where one can experience the safety that human relationships may offer. I truly believe people first need the basics. We connect and flourish in therapy when provided with acceptance, respect and dignity in a non-shaming relationship. I take a holistic approach and incorporate foundational needs that are often overlooked. Sometimes the simplest solution may be most effective, while other situations may call for a deeper dive that will uncover a path to healing. Regardless, I leave the direction and pacing up to my clients to preserve autonomy.

I am most passionate about walking with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, identity, self-esteem, body image, relationship challenges, and adjustment (into college or into young adult life), but find purpose in all my counseling relationships. In those relationships, I find it equally important to grieve and sit in brokenness and pain with clients as it is to celebrate growth, healing, and health.

If you are going through a major life transition, or if the everyday stresses of life are getting too much to handle, I am here to help. I understand that we all have issues unique to ourselves. These issues can be addressed and worked on through counseling. I will help you identify your emotions and help you use them as navigational tools throughout your life. I will allow you to feel safe and comfortable as you explore your thoughts and emotions. I can offer tools to help you communicate with others in your life. I am here to listen and empathize with you as you grow to understand yourself and others.

You are an amazing human being. You are worthy of love, joy, and peace. Being aware of your worthiness can connect you to this wisdom. However, there may have been experiences, thoughts or beliefs that have made you forget your worthiness and preventing you from living your best life. I can help you explore how focus your awareness to the present and away from the past which may lead to depression and away from worries of tomorrow (anxiety).

Life often contains unexpected and difficult challenges that lead to us grieving that life is not what we were hoping for or planned. These challenges can be situational or ongoing experiences. Whether it is the loss of a loved one, a significant life transition, relational struggles, questions of identity, persistent feelings of guilt, shame, or inadequacy, constant worries, or existential/spiritual doubts, we can be left feeling lost and unsure what to do next. When these occur it can be demoralizing and defeating, but also provide immense opportunity for growth. It is my goal to help each person navigate these times in life.

I am passionate about working with children, adolescents, and young adults. I am committed to supporting individuals as they navigate difficulties with mood, anxiety, stress, trauma, self-esteem, relationship/peer conflict, anger, behavioral issues, life transitions/life skills, gender/sexual/racial identity, self-harm and suicidal ideation. I am motivated to work alongside clients as they grapple with the intersections of their racial, gender, sexual, and spiritual identities. I am invested in clients who are willing to be uncomfortable as side effect of their lifetime journey of healing and personal growth.

Do you feel as though you are going through the motions of life and not able to find joy? Are you feeling as though hope is nowhere to be found or that your problems are too big? I believe that every person’s story is worthy to be told and that there is hope even in the toughest of times. As a licensed therapist, I help you sort out the pieces of your story, make sense of them, and even find joy in them. I specialize in working with girls and women who are searching for support related to anxiety, depression, body image & self esteem related issues, eating disorders, relationships, trauma, and life transitions.
