ADHD Therapists in Grand Rapids, MI

I believe in meeting each client where they are, and taking time to understand each person's unique situation. I aim to create a safe and non-judgmental space for client's to participate in healing conversations. That space starts with a quality relationship built on trust and acceptance, no matter who you are and what you are going through. I believe counseling is a brave step toward overall wellness, and my passion is to walk alongside my clients as they improve their lives.

We all want to change in some way, and I believe that real, visible change comes from an internal motivation to be better versions of ourselves. By looking at the uncomfortable or unexamined parts within ourselves, that positive change becomes possible.

Who would you be if you didn't have never-ending worry or constant feelings that your emotions and life are out of control? This is what we'll figure out together. I work with individuals navigating life transitions like moving, becoming a new parent, or break-ups and managing the anxiety that comes with it. Transitions are TOUGH and can leave you feeling lost and confused. I offer a safe and non-judgmental space to sort through life's complexities. We will explore who you are without worry, anxiety and overwhelming feelings, while creating a plan to get unstuck.

Welcome to a space where understanding and acceptance thrive. Perhaps you're yearning to break free from the shackles of societal expectations or seeking support in embracing your authentic self. Your needs are at the forefront - whether that includes a desire for self-discovery, acceptance, or increased resilience. Together, we'll explore the unique intersectionality of your experiences, unraveling the threads that weave the fabric of your identity. Your goals become my compass, guiding us towards a journey of empowerment, fostering a sense of belonging and confidence in your own skin.

In the human experience, few emotions are more debilitating than shame. Maybe it’s the voice in your head beating you down at every turn. Maybe you find yourself stuck in past mistakes, or overwhelmed by everything that could go wrong in the future. Maybe experience has taught you to find yourself less-than in worth, relationship, and ability. When dealing with this kind of pain, vulnerability becomes unbelievably challenging, but incredibly healing.

Whatever age and stage of life you are in, life can become challenging and stressful. If you feel anxious, depressed, or just simply lost therapy can offer you support and balance. I am a neurodiverse-affirming, LGBTQIA affirmative, and culturally aware therapist who offers authenticity and a space where you will be seen, heard, and respected as an authority and expert on your life and your strengths and challenges. In therapy, I will help you learn to understand and embrace your identity, find compassion for yourself, develop coping strategies for living in a stressful world, and help you find your unique balance.

Just as we sometimes need help caring for physical aches and pains, we often need help improving our mental health. I am passionate about helping others look inward to learn more about themselves and connect with their inner voice through the power of therapy. At its heart, therapy is as powerful as what you put into it. Being vulnerable can often feel daunting, but by working together, my goal is to help you build the confidence you need to bravely take the reins when you feel like the life you want is just out of reach.

Finding the right therapist to guide you through a particular setback, conflict or crisis along life's journey can be a daunting process....I know. Being a psychologist for 30 years and having been involved in hundreds of hours of my own personal therapy during my doctoral training, I understand the importance of the right client/therapist match. Successful outcomes are more promising when one feels comfortable, safe and confident with a competent experienced professional. Selecting a therapist should not be an impulsive decision so take your time and be particular since you are about to invest time, finances and trust.

Are you battling anxiety or depression and feel like you're 'just getting through' the day? I'm here to guide you throughout your journey in finding and maintaining strength, hope, direction, and motivation to thrive in life. I started my own practice, Enlightened Therapy, because I had a vision for a therapeutic atmosphere of safety, support, and empowerment in order for my clients to meet their goals. I operate utilizing evidence-based practices that are customized to each individual’s needs. I believe in therapy that addresses all areas of a person's life, including family, relationships, work, school, and physical health.

I prioritize healthy relationships- with others, with ourselves, and with the world around us. I see the need for deeper emotional and physiological understanding to identify where we can become stuck with ourselves and in our relationships. I seek to create a space for introspection and self-compassion in the therapist-client relationship so that you can explore your authentic narrative, your inherent worth, and areas where you may need healing.

Every life has inherent value, no matter where you’ve come from. There are so many different paths that can lead you here, to counseling. I am so glad you have arrived. As someone who is eager to co-write this next chapter of your life with you, I believe everyone has a story to tell, which can be rewritten. Rewriting your story can be a powerful instrument of healing, as well as a testament to the human condition. My specialty is in anxiety, depression, relational issues and identity exploration.

We all experience difficulty trying to navigate obstacles and absurdities in life. Soren Kierkegaard, a philosopher, articulated it well: “Life can only be understood backwards but it must be lived forwards.” I believe therapy helps us process this difficult truth through a courageous practice of turning our focus inward and confronting the parts of ourselves that we are often intent on avoiding. It feels daunting to give attention to regrets, disappointments, or the suspicion that we are not living up to our own potential. Perhaps, the actual risk is our own realization of a need to change but feeling unsure of succeeding.

We offer therapy to help you understand and embrace your true identity, find compassion for yourself, and develop coping strategies for living in a stressful world.

My favorite thing in the world is to affirm for someone that their feelings matter. I want you to feel safe expressing all of your thoughts and emotions. There is no problem too big or too small to talk about. No matter the situation, your reactions and feelings are important. I view therapy as a collaborative process. My clients tell me what they need help with, and we work together to figure out what their best course of action is. My job isn’t to tell you what to do and send you away. My job is to listen to you and empower you to take action to improve your life.
