Therapists in Spring Lake, MI

My hope for each client I see is that they gain a better understanding of themselves and in turn a better understanding of the world around them. As a therapist, my role is to provide a confidential and safe environment in which you experience empathy, authenticity, and respect. I provide therapy services for teens and adults, meeting with clients in a one-on-one setting. I also provide therapy services for couples who are looking to build on their relational foundation and focus on communication.

Feeling down and out of sorts? Maybe something doesn't feel quite right? Seeing a therapist is a big step in one's life, one that many are worried about, due to the many stigmas surrounding sharing your feelings and speaking to someone about your problems. You are not alone, and I am here to help you take the first step to feeling better and getting your life back on track.

Every child can benefit from extra support while coping with all the demands on their time and energies. Families by any definition are increasingly challenged to respond effectively when children and adolescents act out. Beginning with what is working, I help families build on their strengths and find ways to improve connections, communicate with purpose and regain a sense of belonging. Within their family system, each child has a unique set of needs and families sometimes need guidance on how to create a successful environment to help with a behavior concern.

I enjoy coaching clients and professionals through life-stressors, trauma recovery (PTSD), mediating relational issues in couples and family therapy, and helping clients develop healthy coping skills for anxiety, depression, mood and impulse disorders. I help clients set and reach achievable long and short term goals to give them a sense of productivity and accomplishment through solution-focused therapy. If you are in need of specific resources or community services, I walk alongside my clients to identify needs and coordinate services. I welcome clients at all stages of mental health wellness.

With my masters degree in Marriage and Family Therapy, EMDR training, Gottman Level 1 Certificate, and Prepare and Enrich Certificate, my goal is to collaborate with you to find individual and relational growth.

Greetings. Facing life's complexities? I'm here for you. As a Registered Nurse with a decade's experience, I specialize in nuanced support for trauma, relationship intricacies, family issues, anxiety, and depression. In relationship dynamics, I help navigate challenges—communication breakdowns, trust issues, and past experiences' impact. Whether it's romantic relationships, family dynamics, or friendships, my goal is healthier connections. For family issues, we untangle complexities—communication barriers, generational patterns, impacting overall well-being.

Clinically, I have worked in the Community Mental Health system and in a private practice prior to opening my own private practice. I am trained in 10+ evidenced-based practices like Cognitive Behavior therapy (CBT), Prolonged Exposure (PE) therapy, used in treating PTSD, the Nurturing Parent Program (NPP), and Brief Strategic Family Therapy (BSFT). My passion is to help others to live life as the best version of themselves, regardless of their age or presenting issues. I believe that each of us is just one person away from reaching that goal of a happy life, and if I can be that for you then it is a win for us both.

Couples with young kiddo are particularly at risk for marriage and family strife because they are so busy, and because there is so much that is new to their brains, emotions and relationship. Figuring out how to be both mom and dad as well as husband and wife is often overwhelming and troubling. Tension builds when the relationship energy gets split between kiddos needs (and there are a lot of them!) and marriage needs (and those are valid as well). The energy to figure out how to integrate all those needs, wants, wishes becomes divided and divisive. Disconnected and discontent brew and relationship trouble stews. What to do?
