Grief Therapists in Brighton, MI

Welcome! I enjoy helping adults and teens over 16 make positive changes in their lives around mental health, wellness, relationships, family, school and career. I have worked in DEI, wellness, integrative medicine and perinatal mental health settings, which helps to inform my work with parents, students and anyone who wants to integrate past experiences, become more resilient and step more fully into life's choices.

I enjoy working with individuals of all backgrounds, including but not limited to various cultural backgrounds, religions, gender identities, mental health needs, and more. I find importance in acknowledging that everyone is capable of reaching their full potential, they just need extra support sometimes, which is what therapy is for. I use an integrated approach with my clients, recognizing that each client has unique life experiences, and therefore unique needs. I believe in treating the whole client, and not just their symptoms.

It can be easy to talk about the joys of parenting- the times you feel fulfilled when everyone is smiling for the family photo. Sometimes it's more difficult to talk about the stresses of parenting- the exhaustion, unmet expectations, struggling to connect with your child, or being reminded of painful experiences when looking at your baby. Sometimes it can be hard to understand how children communicate or what their cues mean. Some parents find it challenging to fully see their child for who they are due to their own unmet needs or unprocessed trauma. I'd love to partner with you in meeting both your own and your child's needs.

Are you ready to find a better you? Are you feeling the everyday pressures of being an athlete? You are not alone and do not have to deal with these concerns by yourself. Life can be difficult and I am here to help you. I have experience working with individuals surrounding anxiety, depression, ADHD, self-harm and many other concerns. A former member of University of Michigan's women's gymnastics team, I also have experience working with athletes surrounding fears, returning from injury, competition anxiety, overall performance and retiring from sport.

I believe healing happens in relationship with ourselves and others. To me, authentic connection between client and therapist is the foundation for deeper understanding of our responses to our environment and creating new ways of being that serve us well. I’m passionate about partnering with couples, teens, and adults of diverse, intersecting identities seeking support for a variety of concerns including anxiety, depression, self-esteem, trauma, relationship management, life transitions, identity exploration/acceptance, and parenting.

Whatever has brought you to therapy, take heart that you have arrived. Therapy provides a unique opportunity to unpack your burdens in an environment of warmth, compassion, and care. Whether you seek to improve your relationship with yourself or with others, my aim is to meet you where you are and help you unlock your own natural wisdom and capacity for growth, repair, and healing.

Life is complicated and full of challenges. No wonder, then, that nearly everyone, at one time or another, can benefit from psychotherapy. Particularly if you are struggling with depression, anxiety, or life problems that threaten your sense of well-being on a daily basis, you owe it to yourself to learn how to be happier. In addition to alleviating the suffering caused by mental and emotional disorders, I have the knowledge base and skills to help you become your best self--to move not only from misery to greater well-being, but also beyond that to flourishing.
