Priority Health Therapists in Plymouth, MI

I have worked with people having several issues, including but not limited to, Depression, Anxiety, Suicidal Ideation, Emotional Dys-Regulation, Social Anxiety, Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD/ADD), Relationship Issues, LGBTQ+ issues, Social Communication/Boundary Issues, Divorce, Grief and Loss, and other Life Challenges. I counsel teenagers and adults who are dealing with some of these life challenges. I want to help you to be able to move forward again – taking one small step at a time. I want to remind you that you are not alone and that there is help available.

"Will life ever feel easy again?" You can't help but wonder, as all of those memories you try to keep in the dark sabotage you once more. You try to smile and move forward, to keep the past in the past. Unfortunately, the pain of what happened always returns. In spite of it all, your courage to move towards healing is there- you just don't know how to begin. You need someone that knows how this darkness feels to help you figure this out. Someone who can help unravel all these burdens in your heart and give you back your confidence. Because deep down you’re worth more than this. You've always been worth more than this.

I am passionate about helping people grow and change. I have received training from some of the nation's foremost experts in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), though experience has taught me the importance of integrating other treatment models as well. I enjoy doing therapy and have a wealth of experience treating a variety of presenting problems. I particularly enjoy working with veterans, athletes and men's issues. Feel free to reach out to me. If for some reason I am unable to see you personally, I can likely direct you to a colleague who will be the right fit.

My approach to therapy is first and foremost person-centered. Each person on my caseload, whether it be a child, adolescent, teen, or adult, is given respect and are involved in the therapeutic process of achieving goals they set for themselves. I am particularly passionate about serving youth and young adults who are impacted by anxiety, depression, trauma, anger, and low self-esteem.

Don't hold on to the past; it won't help in moving forward. Dare to dream big, and keep moving forward. If you are experiencing anxiety, depression, grief and loss, life transitions, trauma/PTSD, self esteem concerns or stress management issues, lets find some time to talk about ways to cope and create a brighter tomorrow.

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.

Therapy CAN help! Looking to gain perspective? Peace of mind? Become your best self? I would feel honored to join you on your journey. I am trained in Humanistic Psychology which uses various modalities to meet you where you are and attend to your specific needs. I believe the therapeutic alliance between client and therapist is a powerful tool that promotes healing, personal growth, and overall wellness.

It's natural to seek support. Maybe you're facing struggles in a particular area- your job, relationships, education, overall life goals, painful memories- or just feeling like life isn't measuring up altogether. While therapy can be challenging, it can be a positive investment in yourself if you are open and put in the effort. It may be a powerful tool to help you push further in the direction of what's most important to you.

I enjoy meeting amazing individuals each and every day and consider it a privilege to join you on this journey of discovery and healing. Most often we seek therapy because something in life just isn’t working. Maybe you feel depressed, anxious or suicidal; maybe you’ve experienced trauma or extreme stress. I have great respect for your decision to enter this process. I will work with you to determine goals and imagine a better tomorrow. We will focus on validating your life experiences, while giving space your emotions and building on your existing skills to reduce distressing thoughts and increase self-compassion!

As an OCD Specialist; I believe every person can live a successful, healthy and joyful life. I empower individuals and their families to overcome personal obstacles which leads to fulfilling relationships and peace. I graduated with a Master of Arts in Professional Counseling and School Counseling from Central Michigan University. I have been practicing as a licensed mental health counselor for over 9 years. I enjoy working with adolescents 12+, teens and adults. I have worked with hundreds of clients over the years and everyone of them has their own story to tell and personal road to recovery.

Life has many unexpected challenges, and even the best of us sometimes need a helping hand to make it through these times. Everyone's experience is different and affects the person that they become. When someone is going through a tough time, it's important that the help they receive is tailored to their individual needs.

Often clients call us for the first time because they have been struggling with anxiety, depression, life changes, relationship issues, substance use, and/or struggling with trauma and need some support. You're not alone. Most people want to feel better. You probably want to have better days, to feel motivated to do the things you love, to feel better about yourself, sleep better, stop racing thoughts, improve overall health, and want to feel in control of your life. Why? Because you are deserving and worthy of all the good things, especially quality and effective mental health treatment!
