Couples Counseling Therapists in Rockford, MI

Many individual and relational patterns are built from a complex trauma foundation. These patterns keep people cycling through behaviors, emotions, and thinking that feels familiar, however, is no longer working. This can affect people in a variety of ways, such as with a problem behavior, depression, or anxiety. Most people want some sense of control of themselves, the direction of their life, and want fulfilling relationships. The barriers to these needs being met are unique to each individual and once uncovered and understood, can be addressed and overcome.

I work with individuals who struggle with anxiety, depression, self-regulation, and more. I tend to work with a lot of neurodivergent folks, those with ADHD, Autism, and OCD. I enjoy working with folks to find their calm, their space where they can be themselves authentically, and the happiest they can be with themselves. I provide individual therapy, couples therapy, and family therapy. I have worked with folks of all ages, races, sexual-orientations, genders, etc. and I provide a space of safety and empathy. The number one importance in this therapy experience is the client in my chair and how they feel about themselves.

I believe it is a difficult decision to reach out for support from another person. In so doing, therapy not only needs to be a gentle guidance towards a happier lifestyle, but it also needs to incorporate challenges. In working with individuals, couples and families, I enjoy creating a balance of both of these concepts. Shifting our perceptions and changing our behaviors is not a simple process for anyone. I work with parents, teenagers and even our littlest people during stressful life situations including depression, anxiety, anger management, marital issues, women's issues, and processing traumatic events.

Trying to save a relationship before it's too late? Is your teenager struggling with depression, anxiety, or making healthy decisions?
