Domestic Abuse Therapists in Holt, MI
My experience over the last 20 years includes working with individuals, families, incarcerated males, at-risk youth, and domestic violence victims.
The most endearing part about therapy is watching people uncover parts about themselves or their lives that lead to healing and change. Often someone seeks support from an outside source to help them gain a sense of control over their lives. Through the therapeutic process, they gain control over themselves and that leads to solutions they were not aware of. It's an honor to guide those who want to help themselves and create a life they are proud of.

I enjoy working with children, teens, and adults- specializing in trauma, child abuse, parenting support, anxiety, depression, stress management, and self-esteem.
I became a therapist because I believe people can do hard things. Regardless of where your path has led you - or has yet to lead you - as your therapist I will meet you where you are and empower you to find your inner strength. Everyone is at a different stage of their healing journey and I will walk alongside you on yours. When we work together, your sense of safety and security is my biggest priority; I firmly believe healing cannot happen in the presence of judgement. I welcome and celebrate all identities and appreciate the individuality of your experiences.

I am appointed to serve on the Governor's Task Force for Child Abuse and Neglect for the state of Michigan.
I work with adults, adolescents, couples, families, and children. I use a variety of therapeutic approaches uniquely catered to each client and based on a treatment plan that we develop together. I do not believe that each therapist is automatically the best person for every client that walks through their door, but that the client needs to "click" with the therapist they work with so they have room to do the work they need to do. The possibility for change is powerful and the therapeutic process is often a catalyst and a supportive environment for change.

I have been working in the mental health/substance abuse field for 40 years now. I have seen many trends in therapy come and go but have found the only thing that helps others is the technique that they can use on their own outside of the therapist's office.

My clients have found great benefit and healing in the very effective tools I use in therapy, such as EMDR, Emotional Freedom Techniques, Developmental Needs Meeting Strategies (DNMS), and my very own Thought Changing Exercise.

I specifically trained for substance abuse treatment and dual diagnosis work.
I have been in private clinical practice for 22 years. I have specifically trained to work with children, adolescents, young adults and older adults. My time is spent fairly equally working with mental health and substance abuse issues. Likewise, I have chosen to not focus on one specific age group, finding it to be more satisfying to see various aged people. I spend the most time with young adults, from ages of 16-26. I enjoy working with couples; though challenging, I can often offer a safe place for them to listen to one another.

What are the most effective ways to recover from domestic abuse?
Leaving an abusive relationship requires tremendous courage, so survivors in treatment should recognize that they have already completed the most important step. Still, the trauma of physical or emotional abuse can be difficult to process and overcome. Therapy can help survivors process trauma, grief, and difficult emotions, treat relevant mental health symptoms, and create a new framework for boundaries and relationships in the future. For some, support groups can also be an invaluable outlet for healing.
When should an individual seek help for domestic abuse?
Victims of intimate partner violence should seek help immediately. It can take substantial time, planning, energy, and courage to leave an abusive relationship, but starting the process—by seeking therapy, calling the domestic violence hotline, or simply confiding in a loved one—will help them get there. Those who have left abusive relationships but haven’t sought treatment can also greatly benefit from therapy to process and heal from the experience.
What are the consequences of staying in an abusive relationship?
Remaining in an abusive relationship has serious repercussions. In addition to the ongoing threat of physical danger and emotional abuse, research shows that intimate partner violence is associated with a range of mental health disorders including depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, and substance abuse. Therefore it’s important for individuals in an abusive relationship to seek help as soon as possible.
How can you get domestic abuse treatment for someone else?
It can be very complicated to identify and leave an abusive relationship; barriers include the threat of violence, financial instability, and family pressures. Those concerned about a loved one in an abusive relationship should talk to them about the situation, provide them with resources such as the domestic violence hotline, and introduce the idea of seeing a therapist due to their concern for the person’s safety and well-being.
