Grief Therapists in Ottawa County, MI
Therapy is an invitation to begin where you are, just as you are. My first goal is to listen well and to seek to understand you. While my training includes many therapeutic approaches informed by research, I see therapy most of all as a creative process that unfolds within a genuine relationship. I believe that good therapy is flexible and responsive - it can be gentle and compassionate, serious and tough, and sometimes even very funny. While traditional talk therapy can be helpful for many, the most powerful moments in therapy often go beyond words and allow for a new experience of what is possible.

**NO OPENINGS AT THIS TIME** I enjoy helping clients create rich and meaningful lives. I specialize in individual therapy with adults and adolescents struggling with anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, eating disorders, adjustments to life stressors, and more. I also love working with artists and creative people. I primarily use the Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT) Model with clients, an evidence-based model that stems out of cognitive behavioral therapy, and the idea that our thoughts, emotions and behaviors are closely connected. Clients learn many skills related to mindfulness, radical acceptance, and self-compassion.

I have both years of clinical experience and end of life and bereavement issues.
I began my career working in relational ministry with teens. I quickly learned about building trust and what an honor it is to walk alongside clients in both struggle and joy. I believe counseling is one of the best choices we can make for ourselves. It is often difficult to seek help and it takes courage to take care of our own needs. I will do my best to meet you where you are, to listen and provide support and perhaps a new perspective. Counseling allows us to be kinder to ourselves, learn new skills and lead richer lives.

I specialize in working with people who are facing a life transition, healing from a loss or trauma, and/or working through difficult emotions/behaviors.
I work with clients who are wanting to understand themselves more fully, figure out what may be holding them back from the life they've imagined for themselves, uncover what is beneath troubling behaviors, and/or find ways of being and relating that feel healthier and more fulfilling. Some clients come in speaking of feeling discouraged, restless, worried, unfulfilled, or unhappy within themselves and/or their relationships; others come in with just a vague sense that life could feel much better.

My other specialities include: Communication, Self-Esteem, Healthy Boundaries, Stress Management/Mindfulness, Emotion Regulation, Identity Exploration, Spirituality, grief, and trauma (EMDR).
Hello! I view each person (or couple) as unique and autonomous. I believe everyone has a story of where they have been, where they are, and where they are hoping to go. These stories are complex and I believe everyone has biological, emotional, social, and spiritual needs. I like to work with clients to understand how they can get those met in healthy ways and how they can navigate this journey we call life. I also enjoy setting goals with my clients. It's through setting and achieving goals, that you will feel you're getting the most out of our time together.

I work with individuals, couples, and families in treating anxiety, depression, major life changes, relationship challenges, gender/identity issues, grief, and trauma.
Individuals and families in today’s world face so many stressors. Different life roles and responsibilities, pressures of friends/family/society, painful life experiences, and personal expectations weigh on us all. In the midst of this, it is all too easy to feel overwhelmed, alone, and confused - like your story is no longer your own. It can hurt your sense of self and your connection to those you love. I’m prepared to step into this moment of vulnerability with you to help in finding a way to a place where you can feel more connected, strong, and safe, allowing you to redefine your self, your relationships, and your story.

Life is rough at times. We can't always do it on our own. Sometimes we need professional guidance and support. I provide therapy services to adults and adolescents who are struggling with relationships, depression, or anxiety. My style is eclectic--I blend various schools of thought from my training and 25+ years of experience. I'm also interactive--I don't just reflect back what you've already said. Instead, I listen, use empathy, and focus my responses to help you get "unstuck" and accomplish the goals you want.

I work well with clients from different backgrounds and experiences. I love challenging clients with strong insight and further developing that area as a strength. A fundamental part of the work I do is emphasizing acceptance to work towards change and living a life in line with their values. By recognizing conflict and patterns developed from the past, clients feel empowered to make choices instead of living at the mercy of parts of themselves that no longer serve them. Along the way, I engage clients with skill development that suites their needs. Being creative and collaborative in session is a source of joy I actively cultivate.

Every child can benefit from extra support while coping with all the demands on their time and energies. Families by any definition are increasingly challenged to respond effectively when children and adolescents act out. Beginning with what is working, I help families build on their strengths and find ways to improve connections, communicate with purpose and regain a sense of belonging. Within their family system, each child has a unique set of needs and families sometimes need guidance on how to create a successful environment to help with a behavior concern.

Life can throw a lot at us on any given day. Sometimes we can be overwhelmed by the chaos of the world, by the marginalization inflicted by systemic policies and institutions, or by our own internal conflicts. Embracing change and growth can define a path forward and allow hope to be our guide to wellness. The power to heal ourselves lies in empowerment AND advocacy. We must acknowledge both the impact of external factors rooted in the world and in the internalization of suffering and trauma.
