Trauma and PTSD Therapists in 48036

I have a Masters degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with a lot of life experience. For over 7 years I have been providing crisis counseling (CISM) to first responders, families, individuals, and those impacted by traumatic events. My passion is helping individuals who have experienced trauma or stressors in their life to become healthy and whole. The areas of interest are first responders, military, anxiety related issues, depression, PTSD, trauma, and other general issues. I am trained in EMDR therapy. I enjoy working with adolescents, adults, and couples. "We walk side by side".

If you are experiencing anxiety or depression, problems in your marital, peer and work relationships, I would like to help. Perhaps you have experienced a significant loss (of any kind) and need someone that can help you process your feelings. Your safety and comfort are important to me. I will take every precaution to promote your interests in therapy and assure your emotional security. By approaching therapy as a partnership, I aspire to leave clients feeling supported and empowered. If you are looking for a supportive therapeutic partnership, let's talk. I look forward to hearing from you!

I am a LLPC, 24 + yr Police Veteran, military veteran, and served 9+ years as a pastor. Are you a first responder, military, front-line worker, clergy, counselor, or a person who feels they have to help others and yet struggle to help yourself? Some people aren’t good at asking for help, they are used to being “the helper.” Subsequently, you have experienced an unbalanced give and take. Truth - your instinct is usually “ I’ll figure it out on my own.” As you might know this self-reliance is all you have ever known. However, you are facing anxiety, depression, grief, and possibly other feelings that consume your current situation.

We all experience times in our lives that leave us feeling worried, overwhelmed, hopeless, and even defeated. I believe one does not have to walk the journey to healing alone. Therapy is a safe space to start the healing work in finding hope and joy again. Through gaining support, having insight, and learning coping strategies, we can work together to make life more fulfilling. I offer a safe, non-judgmental, and empathetic space for adolescents, adults, couples, and families to process and reach their goals. I am passionate about helping others become the best version of themselves.

I specialize in working with teens and families, adults and older adults in areas including communication, depression, anxiety, anger, trauma, stress management, mild cognitive impairment, chronic illness, binge eating disorder, and adjusting to life transitions.

Working with adolescents, adults, and couples is my passion and primary focus. Therapy will empower you to overcome life's challenges and replace old patterns and beliefs with a new openness to the possibilities of your potential. My therapeutic techniques provide supportive interactions that can replace one's undesirable outcomes with improvement in self-awareness, ability to cope with trauma and grief, as well as personal barriers. Life is a constant balancing act of ongoing work, school, sports or health demands that include building and maintaining relationships that at the same time may require social, personal, and/ or parenting responsibilities.

I believe one of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story. As a woman, you may be often seen as "Super Woman", where you can do it all and be it all, while putting others and their needs before your own. But the truth is, you are human. You may be feeling overwhelmed, depressed, or anxious or maybe you are struggling with finding balance in your life.

EMDR trained, & nationally certified. Treating families, adults, adolescents, geriatric clientele, depression, anxiety, phobias, life adjustment issues, obsessive compulsive disorders, & more.

My ideal client is one who has been struggling for a while and is ready now to address those issues. The people I work with do not need to have clear goals or clear reasons for entering therapy, as sometimes people are not sure why they are seeking help. I tend to work well with people who may not even be aware of the fact that they have just been in survival mode, but they know that they are no longer thriving, even if they do not know why. They are just looking for someone to talk with and are open to addressing things, even if they may take time and be difficult to manage. My ideal client is willing to accept my help.

***Attention I do not take HAP. The insurance listed is incorrect. I am not able to take HAP insurance.******** I am open to working with LGBTQIA+ clients. Since we live in a heteronormative homophobic, transphobic society I feel it is absolutely essential to fight such oppression intentionally and persistently. My hope is to offer LGBTQIA+ clients support, love, compassion and a place of healing and peace where they can find liberation and truly express the fabulous individual they are. I also have extensive experience working with rape crisis, domestic violence, and sexual assault survivors.
