Therapists in Kalamazoo, MI

You are in the drivers seat! We focus on the important issues to you and the goals you would like to achieve most. I believe in offering a non-judgmental, safe, and confidential space for you to say whatever you feel comfortable to share. I bring attention to the whole individual; mind, body, and spirit to help foster positivity, health, and wellness. My practice continues to focus on trauma, eating disorders, addiction and other mental health concerns. I respect and admire anyone with the self-awareness to make the call to come in.

Therapy can be a great tool utilized to gain an outside perspective and possible new insights to the issues you are focused on resolving. Life is complicated and complex. It can be a great benefit to have someone that you can explore your thoughts with, without the worry of bias. Therapy can look very different for each person or couple and can be set up in a way that makes the patient feel comfortable. My goal is to create a comfortable atmosphere in which everyone can feel at ease exploring their goals and how their actions are helping or stopping progress. Goals may be related to an emotion, a difficult situation or other areas.

My personal theoretical foundation is not limited to one approach. I believe it is necessary for counselors to be adaptive. Every client is different and our responses and approaches should be equally diverse. One person may need a cognitive behavioral approach whereas another would be more responsive to brief counseling. This eclectic approach will be applied to all clients. Techniques will vary between clients to best meet the individual client's needs.
