Psychotherapists - Licensed or Registered

I work with people ages 12 and up and provide tele-therapy and some in person mental health services. I use a strengths based approach and individualize treatment for each client. I employ CBT, ACT, IFS, and many other approaches to help people meet clients’ treatment goals. I treat Depression, Anxiety, Trauma, Adjustment Disorders, Work with Neuro-Diverse people (ADHD symptoms and ASD re stress management and psycho-social skills), and LGBTQ+ people.

I provide online teletherapy for anyone in the state of Michigan and create a safe, open, and non-judgmental atmosphere with my clients. I can help you explore the roots of your anxiety, depression, or PTSD symptoms and examine early childhood wounds. If you are struggling in your intimate relationship(s) with communication issues, reducing conflict, or other relational issues, I can help you and your partner(s) explore when those patterns started and where they come from, as well as to heal attachment injuries you may be experiencing. I offer a focus on holistic healing, communication tools, stress management techniques, and an exploration of those internal voices that seem to pull you one way and then the other. If you are interested in discussing yourself or your relationship(s) and collaborating to make your current or future relationship(s) better, I would love to help you meet those goals! I am familiar with hierarchical and non-hierarchical polyamory, solo polyamory, swinging, relationship anarchy, and more. I offer a sliding fee scale in an effort to make therapy accessible to everyone. Polyamory-affirmative, LGBTQIA+-affirmative, and kink-affirmative.

Are relationships a big source of your emotional pain? Working hard to find someone and it’s not working? Tempted to violate an agreement or have already done so? Maybe you’re overusing substances to cope or your loved one is battling addiction?

When in these situations, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and want assistance. I imagine you want to feel grounded, to not have outside situations or people dictate your every move or mood. You want to be happier, contented, and satisfied. You are wanting to be and feel calm. I can help guide you to get to where you want to be.

I am invested in your emotional health and happiness and will assist you in finding solution and solace by exploring embedded beliefs, automatic thoughts, and attachment issues that are shaping your outside life. I encourage you to set up a consultation to experience my result-oriented style in person and see if working together feels like a good fit.

I work with adults of all ages, genders, sexualities and relationship styles. I believe in healing through relationship, and that you are the expert on your own life. I use this existential approach to help you examine where you are on your journey and how you can use your own strengths to get to where you would like to be. I have a special interest in helping people at the intersections of their lives, when one season of their life is changing and another one starting. I can draw from many different treatment modalities to help you reach your goals. I take most insurances and have Saturday appointments.

I work with adult Xennials, Gen Xers, and Boomers through both individual and couples work. I specialize in assisting my clients to deal with stress, high-functioning anxiety, neurodiversity, trauma and/or depression. I also work with those who identify as being “Black Sheep” - or what I call “Black Unicorns”, trailblazers and family-disrupters or first generation pioneers, in addition to either formally un-parented or under-parented adults. My approach is rooted in Psychobiological Approach to Couple Therapy® (PACT), Trauma-Focused / Informed Approaches and Brainspotting, an innovative technique to lessen aspects of PTSD and remove performance / creative blocks.

Face to face sessions are preferred, however webcam sessions can also be held via Skype or MSN Messenger, in certain circumstances. I am a woman who is comfortable working with either adults or teens. What matters most is YOU the client, knowing you are in a comfortable and safe space - ready to make the changes which will set you on the path towards YOUR authentic life. I spent ten years working as a manager in the corporate world, before a life-changing journey to the summit of Kilimanjaro inspired me to change the direction of my life and pursue passion, personal reward and adventure. It has not always been easy, I fall down, I get up again, I process the feedback, and I move forward. Coaching has supplied me with the tools to equip others to strive towards their own personal goals, whether it is finding the part of you which you lost long ago, or if you find yourself ready to set aside emotional baggage it no longer serves you to carry. I do not limit or seek to “fix” my clients. This does not mean the “fix” will not come. It will. All my clients are already perfect souls with unlimited potential. I am results focused. I have no interest in signing you up for life. I want to work with you, starting at point A, and ending at point B. You WILL succeed. Your goal might be anxiety relief, the formation of a career goal, weight and self esteem management or the elimination of a phobia. Or anything else. It really does not matter what you bring to our table. You will succeed. I will simply be your guide. I am comfortable in both private and business coaching environments. I have experience presenting to large groups, and am available for motivational presentations. To book a session (your first session is always free), request a rate card, or to chat to me directly please make contact via email. The first one hour session is always free, giving us a chance to meet each other without pressure and assess the potential of a future client-coach relationship. I hope to meet you soon!
