Humanistic Therapists in Plymouth, MI

I consider myself outgoing and optimistic, and I bring a very humanistic approach to my practice tailored to what my clients need. My professional interests include: working with the LGBTQIA+ community to become a better ally and providing resources for children, adolescents, and young adults who need help navigating through the challenges our world can bring. I want future clients to know that I am open to anyone from any background who walks through my office! I promise a judgement-free zone, complete with my empathetic and welcoming personality :)

I work with individual adults, couples, and teens (16+), inclusive of all sexual orientations and gender expressions. I hold space for the unique and whole person. This is core to my work in helping individuals and couples understand the struggles that create conflict in their life and to help them embrace the change they want. My approach is client-centered and holistic. I use evidence-based treatment modalities, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness and Humanistic Therapy. I also practice from an Internal Family Systems model and use Gottman methods when working with couples.

Finding help during distress can feel overwhelming, but ultimately it is empowering. You are stronger than you think. The opportunities for real change are opened when there is humility and a deep desire to heal. Each client needs to work at their own pace and manner, but intent for growth is key. Reaching fulfillment through the realization of personal talent looks different for everyone, but it is an exciting process to witness, once a client is ready. I find joy witnessing growth take place over time and I continue to be amazed by the strength and resilience of the individuals I work with.

I have an individualized, empathetic, and interactive approach to psychotherapy. I work with clients in crisis, coping with previous or on-going trauma, and those simply looking for direction. I work with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, eating disorders, self-harm, sexual, emotional and/or physical abuse, LGBTQ+ issues, PTSD and complex/developmental trauma. My approach is a theoretical blend of psychodynamic, humanistic, existential, and client-centered.

My approach to therapy relies on creating a safe environment to assist you in processing and healing various aspects of your life. It is imperative to provide a therapeutic relationship built on trust and compassion, in order to help you reach your goals. Through empathy and acceptance, I will work with you towards restoration, happiness, satisfaction, and the unlocking of your true potential. I am committed in providing and implementing the most effective professional services.

Is there a voice in your head telling you to “feel your feelings,” but you just don’t know where to start? Maybe peace is beginning to feel impossible, and you’ve been meaning to prioritize your well-being but taking the first step feels overwhelming. I am here to help you discover your inner strength so that we can courageously face the shadow of your struggles, together. Whether life’s stress, anxiety, trauma, self-image, or relationship issues are holding you back, I am here to help you move forward by walking alongside you on your healing journey.

I believe every client has untapped strengths. I help clients recognize these and use these strengths to overcome challenges in their lives. I utilize an eclectic approach (CBT, DBT Informed , Humanistic, Insight Oriented, Psychodynamic, Positive Psychology, NLP strategies) meeting clients where they are. My dog Charlotte, a Bishon Frise and Registered Therapy Dog, works with me. Her specialties are warming laps and giving kisses. I work with clients 12+, adolescents, young adults, adults, groups and families. I've been practicing for 34 years and feel incredibly privileged to be able to share people's private victories.

Immediate Openings Available - Please contact for scheduling! I have a wide variety of experience working in settings ranging from the VA, those who have experienced incarceration, and common mental health distress. I am up for the challenge and greatly enjoy helping others see their potential. I have worked with people to explore various concerns ranging from trauma, to life transitions, to just trying to figure out what life is about. I do not believe in a one-size-fits-all model, and work best with those that are willing to be flexible and are ready to feel the way they want to feel.

The only constant thing in life is change, and I want to help you navigate through the process. I am a highly empathic and affirming counselor whose first goal is to create an environment safe enough for my clients to be authentically seen without judgment. Therapy is about transformation; having someone to guide you through such a process can make all the difference. I have found that most people possess the necessary tools to improve their life and simply need someone who highlights them.

I believe one of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story. Self-love and seeking out a life worth living can feel tedious, overwhelming, and out of reach. Through therapy, we can work together to better understand how to navigate life, cope with stressors, process trauma, and begin living with purpose. I use an integrated and holistic approach when working with clients that is rooted in Humanistic psychology. Additional influences include CBT, ACT, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and attachment theory. We will work together to tailor treatment to your individual needs.

I believe the best therapy is built on a trusting therapeutic relationship and personalized based on your individual needs and life experiences. I specialize in working with women throughout their pregnancy, postpartum and parenting years. Whether you are struggling with past trauma, managing daily stressors and anxiety, setting boundaries in relationships, adjusting to life transitions or the shifting identities of parenthood- I am here to help.

As a millennial myself, I understand issues specific to what adolescents and young adults are going through.

I help with self-esteem, anger, life transitions, addiction (individual and within the family/ relationship), relationship/ interpersonal problems, depression, anxiety, trauma, and LGBTQ-specific issues. I also understand that your story is more complex than can be communicated by a label.

Therapy is an opportunity for you to learn about yourself and make the changes you want or need to make emotionally, cognitively, relationally or behaviorally.
