Adults Therapists in Saline, MI

Becoming a parent can often feel like it isn’t all that you’ve dreamed, and this can feel isolating, worried that you are the only one experiencing hard times with your child. I can offer support if you are struggling with prenatal adjustment, new or heightened anxiety or depression or are experiencing difficulties connecting with your baby. I can help you manage overwhelming thoughts, or work through past trauma to be more present. If you have a young child who has struggles getting through the day or have concerns about their emotional development and you aren’t sure what else to do, I am here to help you figure out what is next.

Are you dealing with depression, anxiety or stress? Life is full of change and transitions and can easily cause us to feel overwhelmed, anxious or depressed. Being unable to understand or control our thoughts and feelings often leads to difficult or challenging experiences that can be hard to navigate. Therapy is a way to honor these experiences and hold space for self-reflection and understanding. Finding the right therapist can be overwhelming, especially if you are already feeling emotionally drained. My approach is to help you identify your goals and meet you with compassion and empathy.

An important aspect of any therapeutic relationship is the rapport and ease you have in discussing your issues and concerns with your therapist. I believe the right fit between the client and therapist is in large part a function of the flexibility in approach and ways of intervening with you as an individual client. I see the therapeutic relationship as being a collaborative partnership that is outcome focused in addressing your issues and concerns. The emphasis is on doing what is most effective in moving you toward your desired outcomes in the least amount of time possible.

I have had the privilege to assist clients with anxiety, depression and general mental health concerns as well as compulsive sexual behaviors, chemical and process/ behavioral addictions in a variety of settings including addiction treatment services with Dawn Farm's community of programs.

I now offer services as a Mind-Body & Energy Medicine Coach. I am no longer practicing psychology as a Limited Licensed Psychologist.

I help you solve the problem of not being aligned with you and your inner guidance system.

Psychotherapy can help. At its heart, psychotherapy is about listening. And you, feeling truly heard in a new, and refreshing way. As a therapist I strive to listen with compassion and interest to help my clients hear their own voice. Reflected, this offers possibilities for greater self understanding, change, and new direction. The therapeutic relationship serves as a catalyst for the positive changes that you as a client seek.

If you are reading my personal statement, you are probably in distress and at least considering looking for therapist. It takes lots of courage to start therapy and address issues that cause you pain in your life. You probably have already tried to cope on your own, and discovered that it did not work. As a therapist, I can help you by providing a different perspective, new insight, and teach you skills so you can learn to manage your present and future challenges on your own.

It's hard being a person. We all struggle to some extent in fundamental areas of human life-- relationships, identity, work, destructive behaviors, the meaning of life itself. Satisfying marriage/committed relationships are a specific challenge faced by many. I work in both individual and couples therapy. There are many ways to approach human problems, including: how family of origin influences personality; one's relationship to one's thoughts and feelings; self-defeating beliefs, both conscious and unconscious; self-defeating behavior. I value thoughtfulness and compassion, working together, and recognizing your goals and ideas.

In beginning a therapy, I first try to create an environment that is non-judgmental and accepting. Comfort and trust are indispensable for developing a strong working relationship in psychotherapy. During the course of therapy, I try to help identify and explore problem areas at face value at the time they are presented. I also stay attuned to dimensions of personal struggles that are not readily apparent.

"Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?" (Mary Oliver) -- This question lies at the heart of my work, with my goal being to help clients live more authentic and connected lives through self-awareness, resilience and positive change. My approach is flexible, interactive and solution-oriented. I bring a mindful perspective to psychotherapy and tend to see life transitions as opportunities for transformation and growth. My clients have said that my calm demeanor and my careful, empathic listening promote a safe and reflective environment, fostering self-compassion, self-awareness and change.

Everyone struggles with their feelings, relationships, expectations and happiness at times in their life. Are you feeling conflicted, confused or angry?

Our counselors are trained to help you identify what aspects of your life can be changed, and to support you in making those changes in ways that feel feasible to you. Together with your therapist, you will notice patterns, gain insights, find solutions, and discover hopeful new options. At Room to Talk, we offer flexible scheduling. In-person or online — whichever you are most comfortable with. We provide welcoming services to everyone, with attention to gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, age, religion, ethnicity, race, and ability.

You're the only one who can change you, but I can help sharpen your awareness of how you stop yourself from growing. We are in search of your blind spots; I have the sharp eye to notice things you haven't--your voice, choice of words, how you hold yourself, or the effect of your words on others. Together we will experiment in session with new behaviors and awareness. The results will likely surprise us both. You have within you already the strength and peace you seek; you just need help understanding how you stop yourself from accessing it.

The decision to seek therapy is positive and courageous! It is important to find the right therapist to help you with your problems.

I use psychodynamic and cognitive behavior to treat the following problems: depression, anxiety, grief/loss, trauma and chronic illness. I am also a certified sex therapist.

The decision to start therapy signals an interest and curiosity about becoming more grounded and present in our lives. Each of us has a unique set of strengths and challenges that shape who we are and how we experience relationships. My therapeutic approach is trauma-informed and draws on psychodynamic, sensorimotor, and mindfulness based modalities. I work with clients from a practical, here-and-now perspective while attending to the impact of relational, cultural, and early childhood experiences. I am Level 1 Basic Trained in Somatic and Attachment Focused EMDR. I also work with grief & loss, depression, and body image/acceptance.

Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, past traumatic experiences or memories? Do you wish you had some additional support, coping skills or life strategies?
