Find a Therapist in Saginaw, MI

When we find ourselves at a low point in life, it can be hard to know how to move forward. If you want to feel more connected with a loved one, restore broken relationships, find more meaning in life, or learn more about yourself, you are in the right place. I work with individuals, couples, and families to address communication, relational conflict, depression, anxiety, stress, PTSD, trauma, low self-esteem, and other concerns you may have. As your therapist, I want to work alongside you to identify goals and remove any obstacles that are keeping you from reaching them. I utilize a combination of techniques to support my clients. These techniques include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, trauma-informed therapies, systems theory, and the Gottman Method. My approach to therapy is client-centered and tailored to your individual needs and goals. Our therapy sessions will be compassionate and a place for growth, exploration, and change. For clients who are open to Christian counseling, I also find it helpful to explore faith as an important part of the healing and change process.

Are you feeling more anxious, or fatigued? Experiencing less motivation. Do you feel lonely? Are you worried about your career, or relationship? Has your coping strategies turned self-destructive? I can help you feel confident and secure once more. I provide a safe, comfortable, non-judgmental, supportive, and respectful therapy that empowers the individual while reducing stress to get you back on track. Because your time is such a valuable commodity, my approaches are very structured and goal oriented. Each approach will immediately lower unhealthy anxiety and the feeling of fatigue caused from depression. My unique integrative approach to therapy interweaves cognitive behavior, psychodynamic, mindfulness, and existential therapies together in order to assist all individuals, partnerships, and every type of unique family structure with the most effective and efficient treatment created for each person's unique needs and strengths. A few examples include, but not limited to are: relationship struggles, individuals recovering from trauma, chemical dependence, abuse, anger, lack of confidence, anxiety and anger turned inward, known as depression, while making sure to listening to those who have never felt heard. If you're looking for a therapist who is compassionate and empathetic, that listens to your needs and wants, who will facilitate and assist your journey, please contact me. As a person in long term recovery with 44 years of my own personal experiences, successes, and failures, I understand the importance of treating people with respect, empathy, and dignity.

Do you want to appear confident and like you’ve got your life together, but deep down, you’re struggling with anxiety and a fear of never being good enough? I want to help you build a more fulfilling, authentic life, and we can do that by using approaches that address what you’re dealing with at the root. I take a holistic approach to mental health, which means therapy is just one piece of the puzzle. We’ll also look at things like sleep, nutrition, and movement to support your work in therapy. You’ll learn practical skills and understand how they work, so you can feel more confident facing daily challenges and stress in the short term. We’ll also do the hard work of addressing what’s underneath it all, so you can heal and create real, lasting change.

Life has many challenges that we struggle with, many coming internally from our own minds. I can help navigate you through your journey to overcome intrusive, negative self-talk, low self-esteem and self-worth, trauma, and assist with changing that inner voice that tells you, “you have to be perfect.” Using art therapy as well as cognitive-behavioral techniques, I help people who are looking to work through their trauma, anxiety, depression, finding a career, and life transitions; from job changes and relationship issues to grief and loss. Together we can work to gain insight, develop coping skills and mindfulness techniques, defeat the negative self-talk and create a life worth living. My goal is to allow space for someone to be their true self, to be accepted in a safe space, and to encourage creative self-growth. As an art therapist, clients have the option to engage in art therapy. No experience with art materials is required. Utilizing the creative process, the artwork, and the verbal discussion create a space to integrate mind, body, and spirit within the counseling session. Art therapy improves self-esteem, cultivates resilience, promotes insight, and guides emotional and spiritual growth. Using the nonverbal messages, symbols, and metaphors found in the art can lead to a better understanding of feelings and behaviors, moving forward to resolve deeper issues. Art therapy is utilized with people of all ages and uses a variety of art materials, such as paper, pencil, markers, crayons, clay, and collage to name a few. I am an Art Therapist and am formally trained in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for the treatment of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). *Accepting new clients.

**Accepting New Clients for virtual sessions** Sometimes life gets in the way of our happiness. Sometimes we just don't know how to be happy because early on we learned a dysfunctional way of communicating. Sometimes, we continue to struggle with challenges from our past (abuse, sexual trauma, etc.), no matter how hard we try to fix it or how hard we run from it (physically or with substance). You absolutely can get past the challenges that are keeping you from living your best self. I've been in that tough space. I get it. You don't have to do it alone. I support the client to reach their personal goals through a psychodynamic approach and applying the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model. IFS helps the client to build a loving and compassionate relationship with those extreme and destructive parts of us. IFS is a remarkable model of therapy that offers hope when you thought you were hopeless. Ask me about it! We all have our own journey. My journey was long and extremely personally challenging. I bring a perspective to my clients that comes from significant life experience, in addition to specialized training. Everyone's personal journey is their own and requires respect and deference about the fears that might come up. Even thinking about therapy can be scary. I get it. You will not be alone. I look forward to partnering with you to help you return to the person you were meant to be.

My Masters Degree is in Humanistic and Clinical Psychology. The heart of my approach is humanistic. My 35 years in private practice has been centered on compassion, honesty, and goal focused therapy. I strongly believe in the individual'sfamily's ability to heal themselves with proper guidance and a witness to their process. In my work with couples and parents, I place a strong emphasis on accountability as essential to improvement in relationships. I often will work on an individual basis with both members of a couple, as well as seeing them together. This allows me a comprehensive understanding of all contributing factors in a couple's problems. I have the ability not to "take sides" in couple or family problems. The result has been a high success rate in my family and marital therapy. In my work with children, I always evaluate a child's problem in the context of the family system. Parents need to be willing to be involved in the treatment. Sometimes I will meet only with the parents, with excellent results.

For more than 30 years, I have worked with individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, relationship difficulties, trauma, life transitions, and a wide range of emotional and behavioral challenges. My approach is light-hearted, easy-going, and grounded in the understanding that psychological well-being is not something people must create or earn, but an inherent capacity that remains present even during periods of distress. I view clients as fundamentally healthy individuals whose innate capacity for well-being can become obscured during difficult periods of life. My role is to facilitate insight and understanding that allow this natural capacity to re-emerge. Many clients report experiencing meaningful and lasting change, often with less effort and struggle than they previously believed possible. Rather than focusing primarily on managing symptoms, analyzing problems, or developing coping strategies, I help clients gain a deeper understanding of how their psychological experience is created. As people begin to recognize the role of thought and perception in shaping their moment-to-moment experience, they often discover greater clarity, resilience, emotional stability, and freedom from patterns that previously seemed overwhelming or permanent. My work is influenced by contemporary psychological science, decades of clinical experience, and the understanding that lasting change often occurs through new insight rather than through the continual management of psychological symptoms.
