Anger Management Therapists in Grand Rapids, MI

Hey there - thank you for taking the time to check out my profile. You might be here because you feel like you’re at a turning point in your life, but you are unsure which direction to go. Your relationships, losses, experiences, and identity are just that – your own. They are unique to you. Stuff feels unresolved and it could be affecting your everyday life, so it’s time to work on these issues and navigate the path forward.

Even though transitions are a part of all of our lives, they sometimes stir up old pain or are just too overwhelming to navigate without some help. You deserve the time and support to work through it and counseling can provide that for you. I believe in a person centered, interpersonal, cognitive behavioral and strengths based counseling approach. I have over 18 years of experience using these approaches working with individuals of all ages dealing with anxiety, depression, grief and loss, relationship issues, chronic illnesses and transitions at all stages of life.

Life is filled with triumphs, hardships, and a whole lot of challenges. Sometimes we get overwhelmed and feel like there is too much to handle on our own. We all experience struggle with conflict at different points throughout life and I believe nobody should be forced to face these issues alone. My passion is to work with people as they strive to triumph over the challenges that life presents while dealing with hardships in a positive and healthy way. My goal is to provide a safe and comfortable place to promote understanding and healing.

Anyone can find it difficult to adapt in a world that is constantly comparing and misunderstanding concepts related to success, failure, attraction, identity, self-worth, and relationships. The ability to feel at home in your own skin and make important choices about family, friends, and partners can be exceeding difficult in today's world. It takes courage to let someone into your life story, and even more courage to make meaningful changes in your life. I understand what it is like to go on that journey of self discovery, and I welcome the opportunity to help.

I offer to individuals and couples a wealth of experience in working with depression, anxiety and relationship issues, and a deeply compassionate approach to therapy. My emphasis is on building a strong therapeutic relationship and creating a safe, non-judgmental space for clients to explore their identities and experiences. I also offer experience in working with issues like addiction, trauma, and grief. I believe that incorporating holistic practices like exercise, nutrition, and yoga into my therapy approach is important and offer a comprehensive understanding of wellness and the interconnectedness of mind and body.

While working together, you can expect for us to discuss integrative practices to care for your whole self. I commit to affirming your identity, trusting your stories, and approaching this journey with curiosity and compassion. Ultimately, you are responsible for creating a safe and loving environment for your mind, body, and spirit. And I want to help you do just that!

Therapy is not a one-sided conversation; in fact it is an interaction with another person for real discovery and wellness. I can promise you I am as real as it gets. I want to help you achieve the changes you are looking for as well as see you discover the new you. I do not believe growth and discovery have to always be an uncomfortable experience. Reaching out to a therapist can be intimidating, but I hope you will take a moment and maybe a few deep breaths to call and see how I can help.

My hope is to empower and support individuals that want to reach their goals and shape their life in a way that gives them growth and improvement. Whether it's anxiety, heartbreak, depression, relationships, career struggles, confidence, grief, shifting interpersonal dynamics, or other significant life transitions, I love being a listening ear that will both empathize with the unique struggles that someone is facing, as well as help them cultivate the bravery and tools to move forward.

As a dedicated therapist with extensive experience, I wholly dedicate my career to supporting individuals, couples, and families on their path to a happier and healthier life. My therapeutic approach is straightforward and innovative rooted in Cognitive Behavior Therapy, backed by a proven track record of assisting individuals, couples, and families in leading healthier, more productive lives. I firmly believe that positive change can be achieved by uncovering and understanding the underlying beliefs formed through our unique life experiences, thus promoting healthier thinking patterns and favorable outcomes.

Life is not always easy, but if you are willing to invest in yourself, your mental wellbeing, or even spiritual growth, the transformation you’ll see will be well worth the healthier you.

Welcome! I am glad you are here. As a mental health professional, I provide support and intervention for a variety of psychological, career, academic, and relational experiences across the lifespan to diverse persons. This includes services to individuals, various partner structures, families, and groups. My work centers on decolonization and destigmatization of mental health services with emphasis on culturally-affirming care. As such, I identify as a LGBTQIA+, Kink, Disability, and Gender Affirming provider.

I can help. Starting therapy or counseling can be daunting or even scary. I will provide you with an environment that is non-judgmental and warm with a practical orientation to help you overcome difficulties and improve your life.

At times, life can be difficult to navigate. Managing life's expectations such as work, school, family, and relationships can often leave many feeling overwhelmed. Sometimes we find ourselves needing to reach out for help. Therapy is a way to set goals or address areas of your life that require positive change. I encourage you to take the necessary steps to release yourself from emotional burdens.

Through life, you have various goals you are trying to accomplish but sometimes can feel as if you have lost your way. With increasing levels of stress, life can become less vivid than it once was. My goal as your therapist is to get you to a space of empowerment and understanding. Together, we can find ways to regain control, learn what your emotions are signaling to you, explore relationships, and improve overall wellbeing in your life.

Finding just the right counselor can feel overwhelming. Will someone understand the things that are happening with you? Will you be able to open up about the things that make you feel anxious or sad? Do the problems pile up until they are just too big to sweep under the rug? Don’t let the struggle become your identity! Living the life you want begins with exploring how your feelings, thoughts, and experiences impact your life. Our work together will be solution-focused, insight-oriented work designed to instill effective means of dealing with emotional symptoms, relationship conflicts, addictions, and stress.

My clients say things like...I am overwhelmed with stress. My anxiety is out of control. Does depression ever get better? I want to die. How did my relationship end up here? When does the pain of loss stop? Why can't my kids, spouse, ex just cooperate? My teenager is out of control. My parents just don't get it! The flashbacks are real. Will it ever get any better? Real people. Real-life. Real issues. Talking to someone helps. That is why I am here.
