Spirituality Therapists in Quincy, MI

As a counselor for over 20 years, I get how overwhelming life can be. You might be wondering, "How can I go forward? Who am I now?" It might be hard to imagine you'll ever feel normal or happy again. You might wonder if it is even worth it. We'll look at your history to make sense of what happened, and how you got through it. Looking at how you've changed, and what you want now can be overwhelming. Together we can sort it out. As a cancer survivor I offer insight into navigating significant life changes, and options for growth. Figuring out who to lean on, and options to strengthen your spirituality can help with trauma, as well.

You are lying in your bed at 3:00am and you're not sure what went wrong or how things in your life got so derailed. It seems like there is no end to your worrying, stress and fear. This isn’t how you thought life would unfold for you. You can't connect the dots to how you got here, and you certainly can't envision where to go next for things to feel better. Or maybe you're part of a couple, and you don’t recognize the person lying next to you anymore, and you don’t know what happened in your relationship: you think you loved this person - you know you did love this person - but you have no idea how things got so disconnected.

I work best with individuals who feel drawn to discover their purpose in life, and value having a deep and steady awareness of self. Usually these are people who take things on themselves and may have been putting off therapy. Maybe you're burned out on trying to find the answers on your own. Or perhaps there's a particular challenge you just can't get past, such as an addiction, a toxic relationship or job, depression or fear towards the future.

In seeking therapeutic support, your body has already begun the healing process, and I hope you realize how courageous it was for you to take this first step. You have the innate wisdom and strength to overcome your struggles, but you might need someone to walk alongside you on your journey. This is where I come in: I specialize in counseling adult and teen women, but I help people of all ages navigate their way through their inner and outer worlds, empowering them to meet whatever comes their way to make the choices that are right for them.

Our brains are wired for connection. But trauma rewires our brain for protection. (quote by Ryan North). Whether big or small, trauma impacts us all. Trauma can infiltrate our lives, hijacking our brains, causing painful anxiety, depression, or making it difficult to have healthy relationships. If you feel your trauma has taken over your life, I'm here to help.

Tired of struggling with this problem, again? You don't need to live like this. Sometimes, despite our best efforts, we are unable to make the changes that transform our life.

It can be hard to keep going when you feel stuck in your life, whether it is a relationship, a job, or simply just not knowing what to do with the thoughts that come into your head.

This is not the end for you, but a beginning to rewriting the story of your life. Let’s work together toward a plan and action steps that accomplish becoming the connected, clear, and courageous person that will be consistent with your newly-defined values.

It started with small things. You were anxious about a work meeting, so you made up an excuse to get out of it. Then you canceled a dinner date – you’d been looking forward to it, but the anxiety became too severe as it neared. Over and over, you let worry dictate your choices until it’s gotten to the point where you don’t even feel in control anymore. Your anxiety makes the decisions, and you’re just along for the ride. You’ve tried making changes and developing healthier habits. Constantly blaming yourself for your shortcomings, trying to criticize your anxiety into submission. But, it’s no use. This is not the life you imagined.

However, this is not the end for you, but a beginning to rewriting your story and your pathway to your best life.

Hello, my name is Amanda and I believe this career found me. Ever since I was a child all I wanted was to help people, be outside and create art. I know the power of art because it has helped me through many tough times. Art is how I communicate when I don't have the words to share my inner world with others. I know the power of being heard without judgment or unwelcome advice, because I too have experienced the feeling of isolation and frustration from receiving the opposite. I know the power of having a relationship with the natural world, because it has fostered a sense of belonging and spirituality for me.

I provide an environment of safety, cooperation, and compassion to guide you in finding hope and facing difficulty within your life. We all have an ability to improve ourselves. I specialize in working with middle aged and older adult, and youth and adolescents individually and in groups. Crises such as financial, mental, physical, emotional, and identity require compassion and skills to grow. I also work with adults who are physically or mentally disabled and have chronic health needs, including epilepsy. My goal is to help people find hope, direction, meaning, and fulfilment, and teach skills to improve mental health.

I help my clients discover the root causes of their presenting concerns, versus focusing on the surface thoughts and emotions. My areas of treatment focus include anxiety, depression, poor family relations, marital issues (including spousal infidelity or questions of divorce), employment and life transitions, grief and loss, abuse (mental, emotional, verbal and sexual) and spirituality. I utilize a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Systems Theory, and Biblical Principles to guide my clients in therapy. Beginning Aug. 2022, virtual appointments will be available on the 2nd and 4th Saturday of the month.

Sometimes in life, we reach a point where we might feel lost, confused, disconnected, uncomfortable, alone, or even completely unsure how we feel. My hope in therapy is to meet you where you are at with empathy, accept you for who you are without judgment, and work towards the goals that we establish together. With these values persisting throughout therapy, I believe healing is possible for anyone. We will approach our goals in therapy from a holistic perspective, which means that we will seek to understand our challenges through a variety of lenses: our biology, psychology, sociology, culture, and spirituality.
