Grief Therapists in East Lansing, MI

Immediate openings! Sometimes we get caught up in the messiness of life and forget to enjoy it. I get it, life can be stressful! All of our feelings are normal, but sometimes we feel them more intense and they might even make our day to day lives extra challenging (anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, low motivation.. sound familiar?) You are deserving of a life you enjoy living and I am here to help you get back to your best, authentic self.

First of all, I want to express how happy I am that you're here! Seeking out a mental health provider is a HUGE step and I am here and ready to help. I have experience working with various populations, from childhood to middle adulthood. My areas of specialty include LGBTQ+, neurodiversity, anxiety, depression, trauma, codependence, chronic illness and life transitions. I spent my first few years post-graduation working in Community Mental Health (CMH), so I also understand deeply the impact of socioeconomic factors on mental health and physical wellbeing.

I am the clinical psychologist and director of a team of treatment providers who offer an integrated approach to mental health therapies. We strive to provide empirically established and structured mental health treatments while integrating psychotherapy, psychiatric medication management, and counseling. We are scientist-practitioners who pursue long-term positive changes for our patients. We believe that the ultimate goal of clinical work is not only the alleviation of psychopathology and symptoms, but the realization of long-term aspirations, the pursuit of meaning, and interpersonal satisfaction.

We are a team of dedicated therapists located in Grand Rapids, Michigan with a passion for helping people of all ages along their journey toward more balanced, fulfilled, and authentic living. We are deeply committed to creating a culture and environment that is welcoming and inclusive of all people; a place where authentic relationships can be built and honest experiences can be shared.

Your thoughts about food and wanting to change your body feel constant. Binge eating by the end of the night may feel inevitable. You continually compare your body to others and to the times when you were thinner. You have high expectations for yourself but feel like it's never good enough or that you are failing. Family members may be expressing concern for your well being, or maybe they have no idea how much you are struggling. Issues with binge eating, body hate, bulimia, or anorexia can feel like they're taking over your life.

PTSD sucks. It keeps you up at night, makes it hard to relax even on the weekends and drains the happiness out of life. No matter how hard you try you can't help feeling triggered and jumpy. It can make you feel ticked off at the smallest things. You might be withdrawing from others and wanting to shut down because you're losing hope it'll get better. This can lead to depression, anxiety, addictions, relationship problems and more. If it feels like you're going through the motions and barely holding it together, you're in the right place. Helping trauma survivors is my passion.

Immediate openings! Sometimes we get caught up in the messiness of life and forget to enjoy it. I get it, life can be stressful. All of our feelings are normal but sometimes we feel them more intense and they might even make our day to day lives extra challenging (anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, motivation, trauma, ADHD...sound familiar?) You are deserving of a life that you enjoy living and I am here to help you get back to your best, authentic self.

Let's work together to make sense of those people-pleasing tendencies, those situations when you let anger mask your feelings of fear, and the actions you default to when you feel uncomfortable in social situations. Oftentimes, reactive behaviors are learned in early childhood as a defense mechanism. You learned certain actions will keep the physical and emotional pain away. However, you are not a child anymore and you are noticing how those learned actions are now negatively impacting you.

Life is an ever-changing journey with so many pitfalls and struggles, it is hard to keep ahead. So many people find themselves struggling with low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, and other issues that keep us stuck in old patterns. Ideally, I am looking for people who want to make change, even if they feel resistant to the idea right now. Personally, I look to help those individuals who are at least contemplating growth, change, and coming out of the self-constructed safety box. We are not simply looking for the light, we are searching for the source within you. Simply put, people who want to be the favorite version on themselves.

Maybe you find yourself in the midst of a life transition, one that you didn't expect, or one you wanted but now you're overwhelmed with figuring out how to navigate this new normal.

You need someone to listen and provide a calm, steady presence as you work through this difficult season. You are welcome here, no matter what you're going through.

Children face challenges in life, just like adults do, but many children struggle with knowing how to navigate these challenges. As a parent you may feel like you have tried everything that you know to help your child but they continue to struggle.

I can also assist you and your child in creating meaningful shifts in your relationship that support this growth.

Are you struggling with day-to-day challenges of life and overwhelmed? Life feels scattered, sad, and stressful. Sharing these difficulties with others is simply impossible. No one seems to really understand, nor do they have the insight or patience to really help. Staying optimistic about things getting better is not working anymore. You've done that for the last several years and you feel stuck. Sleepless nights thinking about reaching goals you believed were possible are now unbearable. Figuring it out on your own is not working, and trying another approach alone feels defeating. Knowing where to turn next brings on anxiety.
