Borderline Personality (BPD) Therapists in Michigan
We all need help sometimes. As a young child, I was often labeled a "helper". I knew as I grew older that I wanted to help others in some capacity. I am passionate about psychology and mental health, which led me to this profession. We do not get to choose the people who raise us, the environments we are born into, nor the trauma that we may face. We do get to choose a life that brings us joy, purpose, and fulfillment. Depression and anxiety join us on our journey at times, along with many other mental health struggles and addictions. You are not alone in your journey. Our trauma does not have to define us.

Welcome! I'm Alexa - as a therapist, I like to approach my work with clients through a holistic lens. Every individual has a unique and complex history that informs how they walk through through the world, and I honor that in my work through empowering my clients to discover their authentic selves. I firmly believe a path to recovery is possible for everyone, and I welcome the opportunity to provide knowledge, insight, and hope for all those seeking support.

I eagerly await to hear your story. Within many of our stories is something that becomes overwhelming. This begins to weigh us down and hinders our quality of life. When you share that something with me, we will find something to do about it. You've already done a considerable amount of work up until this point; its time to share some of that load.

Working with adolescents, adults, and couples is my passion and primary focus. Therapy will empower you to overcome life's challenges and replace old patterns and beliefs with a new openness to the possibilities of your potential. My therapeutic techniques provide supportive interactions that can replace one's undesirable outcomes with improvement in self-awareness, ability to cope with trauma and grief, as well as personal barriers. Life is a constant balancing act of ongoing work, school, sports or health demands that include building and maintaining relationships that at the same time may require social, personal, and/ or parenting responsibilities.

Client diversity is my favorite part of being a therapist. I am open to working with anyone, no matter what issues, needs, and goals they bring to our relationship. My ideal client is simply motivated by a desire for change and has a strong commitment to the process of self-discovery. Navigating change requires a measure of courage, and some episodes of self-discovery may be uncomfortable. My ideal client will understand that each new challenge is simply a part of the overall discovery and growth process. Clients who strive to “face the fear and do it anyway” are usually a good fit with me.

Mental strength is not the ability to stay out of the darkness; it's the ability to sit present in the darkness knowing that the light will shine again. As a psychotherapist, my goal is to provide clients with a safe place to feel relaxed and able to speak freely and honestly. I'm there to motivate, engage and guide them. I use cognitive behavioral therapy, client-centered, problem solving and motivational techniques. I aim to provide an empathically supportive atmosphere, where clients can feel at ease, take a deep breath and begin to look at their life's problems from a fresh, new perspective.

Many of us experience problems in living from time to time, as we manage our intimate relationships, careers, children, financial burdens etc…. Often times, these problems can lead to feeling poorly about oneself or even to feelings of hopelessness or helplessness. Sometimes, these problems reach a magnitude where our level of distress or ability to function is affected. At these times, it can be very helpful to talk to a professional who can provide insight, support and perspective on these difficult issues. Although your issues may seem unmanageable to you now, with the right help, these problems can be overcome.

I provide EMDR for healthcare providers, first responders and helping professionals. You work hard, but painful experiences from your past keep you stuck. Perhaps you over-schedule, over-commit, and always keep yourself busy. You listen to podcasts about stress and time management, but have a hard time relaxing because your brain won’t shut off. Or you haven’t slept well in ages, and you never feel rested. Maybe you can’t stop thinking about an incident or situation, or maybe you overreact to certain people and situations or feel jumpy and panicky. You know that you have so much more potential and are ready work to feel better now.

I have worked with adolescents and adults as a counselor and as an educator for more than 17 years. As a therapist, I use a holistic approach to wellness with an eclectic incorporation of many techniques in mental health and education. I believe in empowering clients in determining their best use of resources to overcome obstacles and achieving their overall wellness and potential. I enjoy working with clients who are in transition - end of a relationship, loss of employment, heading to college - to name a few. These are stressful times, and I partner with clients as they navigate these changes.
