Anxiety Therapists in Ada, MI

Do you feel anxious & stressed? Overwhelmed by daily life? Have you ever thought-is this all there is? When you are feeling stuck, it can be hard to isolate what is causing it. You want to feel relief - you want to feel happy. Together we can focus in on the cause and collaborate to find solutions that will work for you. I am here to accompany you on your journey; to provide education, tools, and support to make life’s challenges a little less challenging. I don’t just sit back, I am actively involved in your growth, your success. My focus is to provide you with relief as quickly as possible. Individualized intervention that works!

Every step taken in the pursuit of happiness, health, and wellness is a gift you give to yourself and to those around you. Making the first steps toward necessary change can be difficult, but with every step comes growth, awareness and renewed balance. Life presents us with so many challenges and finding support during these difficult times can be very helpful. I will encourage you to identify and draw from the internal strengths you have as well as introducing you to the therapeutic approaches that guide my practice to assist you in coping with the challenges you are experiencing.

Your life looks good on the outside but you are struggling on the inside. You try to be grateful but feel disconnected from your purpose and the people you love. You've tried to do everything right but secretly wonder if you've gotten it all wrong. The stress of your internal tug-of-war has left you feeling like a wave of anxiety or depression may hit at any moment.

If your tween (9-12) or teen (13-18) is having a hard time with… well life, I am here for them! I loves to work with tweens, teens, and families to help manage sticky situations like anxiety or depression, help with navigating relationships, managing stress, understanding big life changes, and much more. I believe that each person already has what they need to heal, but it sometimes our "okay-ness" gets stuck under layers of self-protection and hurt. I believe that therapy is a collaborative process that involves peeling back layers of protection so you and/or your teen can get back to your true authentic selves!

As a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I often work with clients who are suffering from anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, life transitions, esteem issues, and relationship difficulties. I take a collaborative and relational approach to counseling. I can offer a warm and safe space for exploration and growth. The populations I am best suited to work with are individuals who are motivated toward healthier intrapersonal development, clients interested in creating stronger interpersonal connections, as well as women in destructive relationships.

I am a licensed child psychologist who provides therapy and assessment services to youth ages 3-17.

Most of my clients bring individual and marital issues. They seek on-going inner peace, the lowering of distress factors, happiness in their relationships, and/or a vision and hope. Some seek to integrate both personal development and spiritual development. Most seek to find happiness, success, and personal satisfaction. Whether anxious, depressed, or seeking career satisfaction, my clients want to expand their inner peacefulness, resolve old conflicts, and move forward into a more successful life. When a person seeks to resolve conflict with self, life-partners, spouse, friends etc., I welcome them and invite them to journey with me in therapy.

Trying to save a relationship before it's too late? Is your teenager struggling with depression, anxiety, or making healthy decisions? Want a counselor who helps you decide what to do next instead of telling you what you're doing wrong? Maybe you're just tired of your current situation but not quite sure what to do to change it? I don't dwell on your past so I can explain how your parents screwed you up. I help you develop a clear idea of what changes you want and how to make those changes happen. Think coaching, not counseling.

We are all constantly developing and growing as people and sometimes life puts us in uncomfortable positions where we have difficult yet inevitable change. In these moments therapy can be a beautiful space to navigate new circumstances and environments and who we want to be amongst these changes.

I believe that it is the health in you, your hope that life can be better, that is motivating you to seek therapy. You may be struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship problems, a personal crisis or any other number of issues, but it is your desire to live and to thrive that is ultimately leading you to take this step. I believe that my role as therapist is to be actively engaged with you in the process of building on that health and hope, to create a richer, fuller life.

Sad, Worried, and Stubborn Teenagers; Rocky Relationships; Worried Parents; and Stressed Individuals. These are the people I help. You probably already know what the problem is and what you don’t want anymore. You don’t want to be sad, you don’t want to be in this rut, or you're tired of arguing with your teenager or spouse about the same things over and over. Trying to solve it yourself can be like trying to eat a huge pizza that hasn’t been cut into slices-- it's overwhelming and you don’t know where to start. My job is to help you break the solution into pieces so you can decide where to start and what your next steps are.

I do not offer shallow advice, easy solutions, false hopes, or pat answers; only a commitment to journey with you in the most authentic and compassionate ways I know how.
