Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Therapists in 48302

I love to work with people of all ages, but I have a passion for working with children and young adults. While we are not born with the emotional skills and knowledge needed to navigate life and form lasting relationships, they are crucial to our happiness. Whether learning basic coping skills or exploring more complex mental health issues, my clients all share a common goal: improving their day-to-day lives.

Life throws us curve balls that seems hard to recover, but when you have someone and somewhere to support and guide you through, those curve balls turn into steps toward healing, a new journey and thus, a new outcome. I help clients work through life difficulties and changes and help you achieve what's important to you. I understand the significance of providing quality service and meeting the needs of those who put their trust in me. Your counseling experience will fit your needs, whether this means meeting you where you are in life, making services affordable or receiving counseling services through video and telephone sessions.

I believe in a client-centered approach to meet you where you are in your journey. I seek to identify what motivates you and what you’d like to achieve to help you reach your desired goals. Together we will uncover your strengths, find your inner voice, and discover your unique characteristics and values to determine your path forward. You will be empowered to find who and what is important to you and address the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that serve as a barrier to being present in your day to day life. Through insight and willingness to activate behavioral change you will see what is within your control with clarity.

My ideal client is one that has taken the first step in therapy: being open to getting help. My approach to therapy is to identify current issues a person is having, and identifying and creating goals both long term and short term. I believe the best way to solve a problem is to identify what the problem truly is, and create a plan using steps to overcome the problem.

When life can feel overwhelming it is important to take one thought at a time, one task at a time and one day at a time. I specialize in therapy for women's issues including anxiety, depression, trauma, pregnancy, prenatal, postpartum, infertility, relationship Issues, stress, marital and premarital issues and family conflict.

Thank you for visiting my page! I am a big-hearted, passionate, down-to-earth therapist who genuinely believes in the skills that I teach. I love my career because I have the privilege to support you on your journey through this crazy game of life...what an honor! My therapy style weaves a unique combination of skill-building, support, humor, and firmness to help you snap out of simply "existing" in order to start truly living again. Let me help you get out of your suffering so you can begin to build a life worth living!

As a Counseling Psychologist and Certified Trauma Professional, my practice centers on facilitating the transformative journey of healing. I collaborate with clients to co-create a therapeutic environment conducive to exploring and addressing their unique challenges. Utilizing a psychodynamic framework within an integrative approach, I provide a non-judgmental space where clients can navigate issues such as disordered eating, body image concerns, post-traumatic stress, trauma healing, anxiety, and depression.

I am a firm believer that you don't need to be in crisis to seek therapy. Everyone can benefit from a compassionate environment that leads to self-reflection, goal setting, healing, and growth. I use an integrative approach customized to each client's specific needs to address issues including: Adjustment, Anxiety, Depression, Grief & Loss, Identity, Parenting, Pregnancy/Prenatal/Postpartum, Post-Maternity Leave Challenges, Relationship Issues, Trauma, and Women’s Health.

Chronic illness, grief, disordered eating, trauma, can cause extreme shifts in our minds and bodies, resulting in a variety of behaviors to cope and “protect us.”Not all the responses support an authentic value based life experience, nor are sustainable solutions for the trauma experienced. If you feel like you need a change, or are tired of being tired, I can help! Utilizing evidence based interventions, we can rewire the nervous system, desensitize, reprocess experiences building resiliency, and shift behaviors more aligned with your needs. I look forward to helping establish, build or repair your unique foundation of healing.

Deciding to reach out for help is very daunting so I thank you for taking the leap of faith and coming across my profile. My practice mission, vision and values are predicated upon the individual that walks through our doors so we can craft together a specific plan that works for our therapeutic partnership. Everyone has a different pace, different goals and we are here to help walk that journey with you. I have 13 years of experience working with the government and various non-profits and hospitals. I have created a program in Ontario as well so I am well acclimated to diverse populations and issues.

Perhaps you're down or anxious - maybe you're unsure about the future of a relationship, questioning your worth or purpose, or just feel that you aren't yourself. Whatever your needs may be, I am looking to journey with you to find understanding and healing. I specialize in treating Anxiety, Life Transitions, Stress, and Women's Issues. I am here to help you to reflect, release, embrace and to be empowered as you become your best and authentic self.

Immediate openings! Sometimes we get caught up in the messiness of life and forget to enjoy it. I get it, life can be stressful! All of our feelings are normal but sometimes we feel them more intense and they might even make our day to day lives extra challenging (anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, motivation, trauma, ADHD..sound familiar?) Your child is deserving of a life they enjoy living and I am here to help them get back to their best, authentic self.

​I believe that no two paths are the same. Everyone has a unique path that makes them who they are. This path may lead to a planned destination, make an unexpected turn, or hit a few bumps along the way. Change can be hard and heightened feelings of stress, anxiety, and depression can make that change feel much more difficult and lonely. Instead of allowing these changes in our path to hold us back, we should accept and embrace these changes to continue along our journey. This mindset helps us to cope with the ups and downs of life. Everyone has their own path, however, that doesn't mean they have to be on their path alone.

I have been a pediatric psychologist for 10+ years, working with child and adolescent patients (age 2-18) who have behavioral and/or physical health concerns. These problems often overlap and can reduce quality of life. I’ve helped children with a wide variety of presenting concerns, such as anxiety disorders, OCD, tic disorders, behavior problems, ADHD, sleep problems, chronic pain, feeding disorders, and functional abdominal pain. I enjoy working with children of all ages and their families who need support in learning how to manage their emotions and better cope with life's stressors. I'm licensed in both Ohio and Michigan.

Intrusive thoughts can be scary and overwhelming. Compulsions can seem inescapable. Anxiety can come with no obvious reasons and can make our days difficult and exhausting. Anxiety, fear, sadness, and shame can affect our day-to-day lives. Sometimes we can feel that these emotions are consuming our thoughts and actions. Therapy can help people understand and manage these emotions.
