Life Coaching Therapists in 48067

"I believe the problem is not the person." I've worked in the Human Services area for 25 years before retiring. I made the decision to go into private practice because I really enjoy helping people. I've worked with several populations including, women, formerly incarcerated individuals, developmentally disabled, elderly, single parents with children and persons dually diagnosed with Substance Use Disorders. I've facilitated groups and worked with individuals.

Congratulations! You are one step further on your journey to emotional health. Life is full of challenges and transitions. If you find yourself having a hard time managing the complex emotions, feelings and thoughts - do not do it alone. I am dedicated to the stabilization and growth of individuals and families on the journey down the path to emotional and mental well-being. My integrative approach focuses on all aspects for your life to help identify the right therapeutic goals to elevate you to new levels of serenity. A few of the areas I specialize in are:

My approach to counseling is ideal for those experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, or struggling with daily tasks. I offer non-judgmental support to help you navigate and improve your holistic health journey. Together, we can aim for clarity, improved relationships, and effective coping strategies for life changes, trauma, or stressors. Your goals might include breaking old patterns, enhancing self-awareness, and moving toward personal and professional potential. I provide tailored, evidence-based therapy that respects your unique needs and fosters holistic growth.

I have over 22 years of mental health experience with a Doctorate Degree in Clinical Psychology from the MiSPP and Master of Arts Degree from the UDM in Clinical Psychology with a concentration in addiction studies. I provide Compassionate and Individualized treatment. My approach to therapy is eclectic utilizing a variety of modalities, including psychodynamic, solution focused, insight orientated. I have experience working with adolescents, adults, and geriatrics seeking treatment for anxiety, depression, health issues, divorce, life transitions, stress, LGBT+ issues, parent training, couples counseling, and consultation.

I became a therapist because I believe people can do hard things, especially with the right support alongside them. I work with children, teens, and young adults who deserve for someone to meet them where they are at, and empower them to make positive change. I also believe therapy for children and teens is best done with the whole child and whole family in mind, and can provide family sessions as needed.

No matter how hard you try to move forward, you feel like your taking one step back. You’re a high performer with perfectionism tendencies and always put on a smile, which helps you forget your pain. You feel you will never be fully happy and never be able to fully enjoy life how others do, because of your many losses, attributing to your decreased self esteem. You may keep friends and family at a distance, to protect yourself from yet another inevitable loss. You may have stopped exercising and taking care of yourself the way you used to, since it takes too much work and you're just surviving at the end of another long day.

Dang it, you deserve to be happy! It’s our human instinct to want to be the best we can be. We all want to expand and grow; To have good relationships, a thriving career, financial security, and a deep sense of control and purpose. If you’re struggling in any of these areas, therapy can help. Whether you suspect you have a serious mental health condition, perhaps you use a substance or unwanted behaviors to cope, or maybe you just want to talk someone about things that don’t feel safe to talk about with anyone else, therapy is a confidential, nonjudgmental place to work toward accomplishing your goals and to heal your relationships.

It feels like no matter how hard you try you will never be good enough. Others see you as successful, but you feel you are hardly getting by. You wish you felt a broader sense of connection in your relationships, but it feels scary to be authentic with your friends and family. You're tired of ruminating on the past and feeling anxious about the future. You feel stuck and unsure of how to get on track. You are looking for a holistic approach bringing in mindfulness meditation and other evidence-based alternative therapies. I can teach you how to tap into the profound wisdom you already have to make changes in your life.

Are you tired of living in an emotional hell where your relationships are struggles instead of pleasurable meaningful experiences? Do you have trouble with interpersonal effectiveness as well as controlling your emotions? Do you find yourself battling with depression and anxiety? Are you frequently experiencing conflicts with you partner? Considered marriage or couples counseling ? Do you find that your communication skills are indirect and you are not getting what you want? Are you grieving the loss of a spouse, child or friend? Do you feel stuck and unable to move forward? Are you looking for your a life worth living?

Life in general can be very challenging. Struggles with relationships, life stressors, fear, and self-judgment of not being ‘good enough’ can be difficult to navigate and sometimes we feel as if we can barely keep our heads above water. I know this personally as I’ve felt I was drowning at times myself. But there is a way out. Therapy provides a safe, non-judgmental space to explore your thoughts and feelings to better understand and find solutions to life’s challenges. My goal as a therapist is to help you feel safe, supported, and seen. Thus, opening the door for you to deeper self-exploration and growth.

Mental health needs may sometimes be overlooked in Primary Care today. Most PCPs may be too busy to ask the next question that will allow clients to open up regarding their mental health concerns. Mental health needs are growing by the minute and the second, with increased suicides and mental health breakdowns rising. Increased violence is becoming a common way of life in our society, related to minimal access to mental health services. Many people are searching for help. However, they do not know how to get there. The struggle is real.

I offer easy practical strategies that you will be able to immediately utilize. My heart centered non-judgmental approach creates a safe environment for you to begin transforming your life situation utilizing methods that encompasses the whole person. As a therapist with over 20 years of experience working with people, these strategies will allow you to move forward with your life situation and take charge of your life.

I am a licensed social worker, with experience working with individuals and groups experiencing addiction issues, women's issues, anxiety, depression, life changes and transitions, among other issues.
