Therapists in Michigan
I approach play therapy with curiosity and warmth. I want to support children as they work through their emotions and learn new skills through the safety of play. As a play therapist, I provide flexibility and choice for children to decide how they wish to play. Using play, children learn crucial relationships skills, problem solving, socializing, communication, boundaries, and limits. Because parents are key in the therapeutic process; therefore, I prioritize building a collaborative relationship with parents. I earned a master’s in Counseling Psychology from WMU in 2017.

You want a healthy relationship, but what you have just sucks! You're tired of feeling like this! You need help! Face it, you're stressed, anxious, depressed, and tired of escaping reality. Forget living up to your full potential, you just feel done. You're not even sure what to do next.

I work with clients to address relationship problems, grief/loss, low self-esteem, academic/employment difficulties, etc.
Sometimes our job (as therapists) is to carry the hope for our clients until they can carry it themselves. The fact that you are considering therapy means that you want to believe that your situation can improve. While hope is not always easy to come by, human beings are resilient, we are survivors, and it is okay to seek help when the load gets too heavy to carry on our own. Psychotherapy is a collaborative process. I will work with you to develop the insight and skills needed to overcome challenges so that you can live a healthier/happier life.

There are times in our lives when it becomes essential for us to seek greater self-awareness and a fuller sense of meaning and purpose. Perhaps you're experiencing the end of a relationship, a major life transition, an intense period of stuckness, or frequent 3am panic that leaves you in a tailspin. Or, you might just be feeling like nothing is terribly wrong, but still not quite right. I offer support to those who are looking for insight into their past experiences and present choices in order to craft a future that feels safe, authentic, and meaningful.

Carol Rodgers once said If we are able to accept ourselves just as we are, then we can change. Likewise, I believe that everyone has the unique ability to discover significance within themself. This path to personal development is often found within the context of meaningful relationships. A therapeutic relationship can offer helpful guidance towards radical acceptance, profound healing and transformational growth.
