You have been sitting with your thoughts and seem to recycle your memories. You are excellent at suppressing your hurt and stay busy with work and life as a distraction. You may no longer connect with others the way you used to and keep friends and family at a distance. The Pandemic may have increased your anxiety and depression and you are uncertain where to begin. Your worry and fear come out as: anger, sadness and controlling behaviors, due to questioning your worth and self esteem. Will I ever feel truly happy? Will I feel truly loved? Will I find my life path and the career that makes my soul soar? Will I learn to forgive?

I have I have been in private practice for almost 30 years. I see clients ages five and up for individual, group, couples and family counseling. I specialize in substance abuse and my agency is licensed by the state of Michigan.

I accept most insurances and provide a warm and safe counseling environment.

We are all masters of our own lives; we each hold the answers to questions and problems we may endure. Sometimes, we lose insight and need guidance to uncover our underlying knowledge or simply to cope with setbacks. My goal is to empower, educate and assist people to regain control of their lives. Seeking assistance can be difficult and takes courage; I provide a safe environment, compassionate, holistic nature and welcome people of all ages. I pride my practice on integrating what are considered non-traditional methods of treatment to supplement our therapy together.

In this increasingly complex world in which we live, taking responsibility for our thoughts, actions, and interactions with others can be challenging. The ability to understand and "own" our choices can reveal the possibilities for making necessary and desired changes in our lives. I can help you understand and recognize those choices. We will take a look at all the factors that have influenced your life experiences to this point. Working together, we can set goals, develop strategies for changing negative thought patterns, and implement new behavioral skills, all within a Christian faith-based context.

I work with individuals dealing with some challenges during their life. Challenges can include changing health status of self or loved ones, children growing up and leaving home, career changes, retirement, losses (job, residence, marital status, loved ones, etc.), anxiety, depression, changing sense of purpose, and more. Family caregivers of older adults may also experience challenges that had not been anticipated. Issues of concern can include changing health status of self or a loved one, safety, possible need for alternate living accommodations for a loved one, losses, how to cope with behavior changes, etc.

Our clients are the reason we are in business and their care starts with the first phone call. When you call you will be greeted by either Dina or Sue, they will complete a small intake process and from there you will have some paperwork to complete. Our scheduling turnaround time after paperwork is completed is about 5 days. We care that you are receiving the care you need when you need it.

Navigating the journey of life has its own set of challenges. My goal as a counselor is to accompany you on this journey to promote healing and personal growth. I welcome my clients into an accepting, unbiased, and caring environment to safely process through their emotions. My hope is to help you to identify and utilize effective coping mechanisms to navigate life's challenges.

It would be hard to argue that our lives haven't been a lot more complicated over the last few years. Whether you are a child or teen dealing with peer pressure or the stressors at school, a stay at home parent trying to manage everyones busy schedules, a working professional balancing family life and the stress a job can bring, a single or divorced parent struggling to get through each day, a young adult looking for direction in life, or part of a family trying to raise your kids in this increasingly complex world, I have extensive experience in all of these areas. I am committed to helping you work through these challenges.

I liken life to a track meet, to an event where we sometimes need help getting over that hurdle, or patience as we wait in the relay race... I applaud and encourage those who seek help! I most enjoy helping our young people navigate through life's obstacles, and watching them attain their personal greatness.

Lets be honest, the world is going to Hell in a handbasket, and if that includes your world, I can help you. I am a licensed master social worker, but I fancy myself a psychologist at heart. This unites the best of the two disciplines as social work focuses on fair and ethical treatment for all humanity, while psychology emphasizes behavioral, psychoanalytical skills. Both of which I confidently uphold, and define my career path by. I have experience with both group and individual therapy relating to anger management, opioids, cognitive behavioral therapy, family dynamics, 12 steps, and many others.

At times, we all encounter challenges that can leave us feeling uncertain and adrift. My hope is to provide you with a warm and supportive atmosphere where you feel heard and understood. One where we can explore your story, gain insight, grow and heal. I see clients of all ages, especially preteens through young adults and couples. Together we can take on challenges including depression, anxiety, grief, family conflict, trauma background, panic, ADHD, ASD, and life transitions. Whatever your specific circumstances and goals, we can work together to address them.

I am passionate about helping children, adolescents, and adults with life changes, school or work problems, anxiety issues, depression and other mental health issues. I am willing to work with clients and families to accept and love themselves, develop better coping abilities and a more hopeful outlook on life. I have 6 years experience working in schools with children with a wide range of disabilities and mental health issues. I have experience as a mother with a child with ADHD and anxiety and want to be a loving and nonjudgmental person for others who may be feeling alone. There is hope!
