Hello. How is your day going and how are you feeling? I am here to help you resolve your issues/concerns and develop a more balanced approach to life. I am a Psychotherapist licensed in the state of MI. I have 20+ years of experience working with individuals in various mental health and health care settings that have suffered from depression, anxiety, trauma, stress and chronic pain. I take a holistic approach to therapy and mental wellness. Medical issues can affect your mood and your mood can affect your health. You can help both by developing positive, mindful thought practices vs. negative thoughts which sometimes lead to negative actions.
I would like to help you on your healing journey as you move toward balance and harmony. I provide a warm, caring, non-judgmental perspective that promotes and acknowledges strength and self-awareness. Sometimes the hardest thing to do is ask for help. It is ok. Let's work together to take those first steps that will help you get through this current crisis and grow stronger because of it.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
