Find a Therapist in Milford, Michigan.

I am a psychotherapist who understands life can feel like a daily struggle. No one should have to endure these feelings alone. As a professional counselor, I compassionately listen and support clients as well as offer a therapeutic relationship that provides clients the opportunity to emotionally move forward and bring a healthy balance back into their lives. Psychotherapy empowers clients to gain healthy coping skills, experience self care and process new ways to work through personal difficulties. It is possible to heal, gain a sense of well-being, restore hope, and rekindle happiness even during the most challenging times.

Psychotherapy has been shown to improve emotional and psychological well-being and is linked with positive changes in the brain and body. The benefits also include fewer sick days, less disability, fewer medical problems, and increased work satisfaction. In summary, the goal of psychotherapy is to facilitate positive change in clients seeking better emotional and social functioning to improve their feelings of satisfaction and the overall quality of their lives. Psychotherapy helps clients live happier, healthier, and more productive lives.

I have been in practice for over 25 years helping people to change — to discover who they are inside, and stretch to fulfill more of their potential. I love helping my clients learn to live their own life and lifestyle, not someone else’s. By providing support as you untangle yourself within relationships, jobs, and a life that is no longer working, I can help you learn the skills needed to make positive changes.

I use a variety of modalities inluding talk therapy, cognitive therapy, behavioral therapy, journaling, etc. and work collaboratively with my clients to develop a treatment plan that facilitates you reaching the goals you want to reach. Treatment plans are individualized and evaluated on a regular basis to make sure your needs are being met in a matter that is safe, productive and confidential. Together, we build on your strengths to help you feel empowered on your journey.

While counseling is helpful in some situations, psychotherapy is at times needed to make larger, more permanent changes. Psychotherapy digs into your life story, what you have gone through, what has affected you, and what has caused how you think of yourself and how you fit into the world. In our work together, you will learn forgiveness for yourself and others and how to reparent yourself in the areas you need in order to have a happier, fuller and more meaningful life.

I am truly honored to work with individuals and couples from all backgrounds and orientations. I am also proud to partner with underserved populations such as those in law enforcement, the military, faith based and LGBTQIA+ communities. I respect and honor you as the expert in your own life and will create a space that is safe, affirming, and authentic.

Our focus in psychotherapy is to determine what your goals are and work towards meeting those goals. I am here to help you take back control of your life & make the changes you seek to make. We will discuss your past, to see why you are having difficulties. We will discuss the barriers that are in place preventing you from being who you know you are. Then we will explore different techniques to help you meet your goals.

My approach to psychotherapy is psychodynamic or insight oriented. While I integrate many approaches in treatment, using an insight oriented approach is especially helpful to those who seem to repeat the same patterns of behaviors in all their close relationships or are in a bad relationship but can not move on. Insight oriented approach can help a person realize how their past is influencing their present behavior and open the individual up to making profound change

Through counseling you can improve your overall mental health and sense of wellbeing by working through behaviors, beliefs, compulsions, thoughts and emotions. I will utilize a variety of evidence based practices and interventions that are best suited to your presenting issues. The interventions that I most commonly rely on are Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Dialectic Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR), Motivational Interviewing (MI), a Multisystemic Approach, Behavior Modification, Insight Oriented and Supportive.

I use an integrated approach to psychotherapy, incorporating cognitive-behavior, dialectical-behavioral, and acceptance and commitment therapies. My goal is to help you to understand historical messages that have contributed to present-day struggles. I work with you to challenge negative thinking and develop strategies that will help you between our sessions.

James Hillman once said, "We've had a hundred years of psychotherapy and the world is getting worse." While there are many occasions where the validation and listening endemic to psychotherapy makes sense, there are times where we over assume that "feeling better" and "changing behavior" are the same. Grey Matters International, Inc. goes after the forgotten brain laws to behavior change that therapists miss when processing hours and hours of dialogues with people. Utilizing a cutting edge technology to facilitate the emotional process of change, we can make the therapy process way more effective, faster, and with less money spent.
