Therapists in Lapeer County, MI

One of my professional idols, Irvin Yalom, MD, coined one of my favorite terms, "Fellow Travelers." We are all Fellow Travelers...and at any given time, we are at one crossroads or another in life. I am here to meet you at your crossroads. I provide a collaborative psychotherapy with adults and teens. I have a broad range of experience in working with individuals experiencing Depression, Anxiety, and all sorts of major life adjustment issues. My therapeutic orientation is primarily Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy while incorporating eclectic ideas including Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, DBT-Informed, and Neuropsychotherapy.

I strive to meet my clients wherever they’re at in their lives, helping them achieve their goals and find out new things about themselves. I have experience working with college students and other adults, as well as with issues such as anxiety, depression, life transitions, and self-worth; I also wish to work with folks who are part of the LGBTQ+ community.

Are you feeling as though you have no one to talk to or no one who is willing to listen to your concerns and frustrations as well as your successes? Listening is one of the most effective ways one can demonstrate empathy to others. I am here to be that someone and to help guide you to be the best version of yourself. I have worked with many diagnoses including Anxiety, Depression, Suicidal Ideation, Trauma, ADHD, and Personality Disorders. I am here to provide a neutral and safe space for my clients.

Tapas is a Sanskrit word that describes the heat and friction that are necessary for change; it is our willingness to endure intensity for the sake of transformation. Change can be difficult; asking for the help it sometimes takes to make those changes can be even harder. I understand just how hard that first step can be. I will work diligently alongside of you to create a safe, caring space to explore your challenges and successes!

I believe therapy is a mutual process between the client and the therapist. The therapeutic relationship is built on trust and respect. My goal is not to "fix" someone's problems; but to offer my clients the tools to foster growth and change within themselves and their own life through the exploration of techniques, self reflection and various art mediums.

I implement a straight- forward holistic approach to care, while maintaining a nurturing, non-judgmental, and empathetic therapeutic environment. I believe achieving a greater level of wellness and fulfillment through self-awareness and acceptance helps to contribute to individual and relational growth, along with positively impacting the creation of a happy, healthy lifestyle. Further, I bring real-life experiences coupled with professional knowledge and expertise into the clinical setting, which helps to create a strong therapeutic alliance with my clients.

Choosing to enter into counseling is not an easy decision. My main goals as a therapist are: 1. To provide the client with a safe environment in order to help them feel comfortable expressing themselves. 2. To gather as much information as possible in order to address their unique needs & provide the best counseling. 3. To utilize a variety of approaches and tailor the counseling to each individual to help the client live with more peace & purpose. Being flexible, knowledgeable & open as a therapist is important. I participate in continuing education on a regular basis in order to provide relevant counseling for my clients.

I enjoy a good challenge. I enjoy working with several different type clients. Lately I have been working with gamblers and really enjoy the challenges they present. I have a long history of working with children and know a lot about ADHD. Additionally, I enjoy discussing how GOD can change us and How to be Free. If you want to discuss your concerns please contact me. I have developed a private office where I can do a sliding scale for people who want counseling but may be limited in resources.

At Human Kindness we specializes in trauma, PTSD, + C-PTSD. At this time we are completely virtual and are only seeing ages 18+. Whether the trauma is from childhood or more recent, complex or a one time event - all of our therapists on staff understand the difficulty that trauma can bring to our lives & know how to work with the lingering trauma reactions your body may be experiencing. We also work with other issues such as: anxiety, depression, anger, grief, ADHD, low self-esteem, relationship issues, divorce, work stress & burnout. Our mission is to help people be curious and self-compassionate while they heal their trauma.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor, my aim is to help clients identify their goals and find strategies to reach them. I know that everyone's life experience is different, and therefore, their reasons for counseling and journey through healing is different. I look forward to developing a therapeutic relationship to best support your needs as you find more peace in your life.

Throughout my academic and professional journey, I have been privileged to work with diverse individuals facing a wide range of issues, from anxiety and depression to trauma and addiction. I also have experience in working with individuals going through various life adjustments, transitions and grief. These experiences have deepened my understanding of the multifaceted nature of mental health and reinforced my belief in the importance of personalized, holistic approaches to therapy.

Love and Healing Therapy provides a safe place for clients to learn skills for dealing with today and the future. Sometimes it is not easy to be in present day if we are carrying around the past. Many have been taught to put on the mask and all will be well. Sometimes we need help to let the mask fall and see the real person.

I believe that clients are the expert of their life, and have the ability to determine their own solutions to their concerns when in a space that is supportive and understanding. Through therapy, clients can explore both internal and external factors that can then lead to finding solutions for their concerns.

Many people have a fear of therapy or feel like it is not for them. Treatment is a tool and resource that can help you navigate tough spots in your life. I also use telehealth to meet with clients who prefer not to be seen in the office during these difficult times. I am a master's Level Clinical Social Worker specializing in the following individuals/conditions: Trauma, Survivors, Couples, Anxiety, Depression, People Living with HIV, Chronic Disease, Panic Attacks, Personality Disorders, and LGBTQ+.
