Somatic Therapists in South Lyon, MI

I offer a comprehensive approach to therapy, combining evidence-based treatments with holistic interventions tailored to each individual or family. My personalized, integrative approach includes CBT, ACT, DBT, polyvagal exercises, somatic work, attachment-based neuro-affirmative care, person-centered therapy, and psychodynamic techniques. Additionally, I provide psychodynamic treatment for the whole family system, which incorporates family sessions, parent sessions, and individual sessions with family members. Working with me, you will develop habits that serve as a holistic foundation for lifelong physical and mental well-being.

If you're looking to dive a little deeper into your inner healing journey, welcome! Maybe you've tried therapy in the past or have experimented with self-help, yet you're still finding yourself repeating the same painful patterns. I specialize in providing virtual EMDR, IFS, Somatic & Yoga Therapy for women who are looking for a mind-body approach to working through trauma, shame, anxiety, panic attacks, living with chronic illness or chronic pain, burnout or chronic stress. I work with clients who are interested in exploring and healing the root cause of these issues, often leading to lasting change instead of a band-aid fix.

Do you feel stuck and unable to move forward? Is it hard to let go of experiences from your past? Often unresolved issues from the past can interfere with fully enjoying the present moment. If you've experienced trauma, the frightening/overwhelming experience can resurface months or years later, seemingly "out of the blue" and cause symptoms which make it nearly impossible to feel in control of life. Working together in psychotherapy, you will learn strategies to calm your anxiety, reduce stress and be back in the driver's seat of life.

After being a psychotherapist for 30 years, learning and growing on the journey, I now am passionate about supporting my clients to open to learning about all the aspects of themselves, dark and light, and bringing love and acceptance to it all. It is here that we find true happiness and purpose. Through awareness, we find our way to ceasing judgement and the eternal push to find happiness outside of ourselves.. And as we learn to be in the present moment, we develop valuable skills for self regulation and resilience, freeing us to live the life of our dreams.

I offer deep, effective counseling treatment. I specialize in relationship struggles, anxiety, post-traumatic stress, complex trauma, high stress/burn out and depression. My advanced training focuses on helping clients to resolve past traumas in order to relieve current emotional distress and psychological symptoms. I focus on healing from a body / somatic experiencing standpoint. I support clients in cultivating feelings of peace, confidence and connection. This paves the way for improved relationships with both self and others. In my practice, an emphasis is placed on personal development and revitalization.

I am the Founder of Reset Brain and Body, an integrative mental health care company that is on a mission to redefine how people experience mental health care. I work specifically with C-Suite, Executive and Entrepreneurial clients looking to level up their intuition, remove habitual blockages and overcome trauma, cycles of stress, limiting beliefs and self-sabotage. In working with high-achieving clients, I bring a bold, creative and experiential approach unlike any traditional therapy experience. My own experience as a business owner and corporate director has led me to create a passionate approach to working with this clientele.

Are you struggling with trauma? You might feel anxious, disconnected from your body, feeling the need to constantly distract yourself, or not feeling like yourself. This may be in response to a bigger life event, loss, life transitions, or something you’ve been unable to access. Sometimes, our responses are connected to childhood trauma, religious trauma, work trauma, or from past relationships. You may also question if your responses are connected to trauma at all. You want to live a life where it feels good to be present with yourself and in relationships. Where you can be authentically yourself.

If life and/or relationships are confusing or painful, I may be of help. Depression, anxiety, grief and loss, life transitions, and relationship conflicts are just some of the areas I treat.

Have you ever felt guilty saying "no"? Or find yourself overthinking a lot? I work with women who often feel stuck in a constant cycle of worry. At times, you wish you could just turn your brain off. You feel this worry is sabotaging you- it impacts the quality of your relationships, your work and your body but you feel helpless to stop the cycle. You may also struggle with over-giving, and feeling guilty a lot of the time. You’ve heard about “self-care” and “boundaries”, but when you try to implement them you just feel guilty and unsure if you’re doing the “right” thing.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and a National Board-Certified Counselor. I have extensive experience working with men, women, and couples. I specialize in working with marital issues, sexual/pornography addiction, and betrayal partner trauma. I provide compassion, care, and empathy, which are foundational in helping clients successfully work through personal and relational life challenges. I am also the author of the book entitled, "A Partner’s Guide To Truth & Healing" (2021). The book explains a therapeutic disclosure process that helps both partner and spouse achieve truth and healing within their relationship.

Searching for a therapist can be a challenge. If you’re looking for assistance with relationship issues, anxiety/depression, PTSD, grief, OCD, eating disorders or other life challenges, you have come to the right place. I am an EMDR trained therapist with additional experience in other techniques. Therapy is not "one size fits all", which is why I take a more holistic approach to helping my clients, finding what works for them. I offer services in-person and online, with immediate openings Monday-Friday (with some extended hours over weekends). I would love the opportunity to help you heal!

My ideal client is someone who is interested in diving deeper into their wellbeing and understanding themselves. I enjoy working with individuals that are open minded and are ready to be challenged and get uncomfortable.
