"Going away to college" can be a wonderful and terrifying experience all at the same time: learning how to manage the many details of daily life while figuring out the big picture of who you are and what you want to do. It can also be a time of sorting out family relationships and choosing new paths. It can bring up a lot of anxiety, stress and self-doubt. We have many combined years of helping people through these experiences. If you would like intelligent, warm and useful support in navigating your thoughts and emotions, please give us a call.
If anxiety is affecting you in any way, I can help you stop avoiding the things you fear, learn to tolerate being less than perfect, and become kinder to yourself. I have had great success in treating individuals with OCD using proven techniques. If you are ready to explore what drives you, and to take on some challenges, I am ready to be your guide in creating a fulfilling life.

It's my belief to "Keep life simple." Life is stressful enough. Balancing work, family, social life, friends, and relationships can be overwhelming at times. I practice from a harm reduction holistic theoretical orientation. It combines person-centered (respect for autonomy) with CBT/systemic therapy (a critical look at culture and attachments). By identifying wants and needs, I can assist clients with locating triggers and establishing healthy coping skills to alleviate any mental, emotional, or physical stress. I work particularly with parents and clients dealing with ADHD, Life choices, anxiety, self-esteem and accountability. I assist clients in adjusting to unexpected life transitions by constructing healthier boundaries with themselves and others to balance their lifestyles. I value the importance of creating a supportive, transparent, and collaborative relationship throughout the therapy process. I do this by providing a safe space for clients to embrace their vulnerabilities. Difficult experiences often show up in the body. Accessing embodied experience helps clients evolve. These shifts in the body have a corresponding effect on our actions, routines, and relationships. Through mindful awareness, we discover how the body holds our experiences. We learn to recognize habitual patterns and create new ones. The healing starts now...

At Heartfelt Healing, I tend to connect most with students who are thoughtful, caring, and often hard on themselves. You might be the one others rely on, the responsible friend, the high achiever, the one who “has it together,” while quietly feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or unsure inside. Many of the students I work with are navigating big life shifts such as starting college, adjusting to independence, healing from a breakup, questioning relationships, or trying to find their footing in who they are becoming. Some are working through body image struggles, disordered eating patterns, family stress, or the pressure to meet expectations. Others simply feel stuck, disconnected, or exhausted from constantly overthinking. If you’re considering therapy but don’t have clear goals or the “right words” yet, that’s completely okay. You don’t need to have everything figured out before reaching out. Sometimes the first step is simply knowing something doesn’t feel quite right and being open to exploring it in a supportive, nonjudgmental space. We can figure the rest out together.
I provide telehealth counseling services to clients in Michigan. Sometimes life throws challenges at us that we need to process with the help of someone who can listen and allow us to explore our experiences and emotions. Together we can identify goals, coping strategies, and techniques that can lead to feeling healthier and happier. My experience has been primarily with teenagers and young adults, but I am happy to work all adults. The next step starts with: 1) Looking at the whole person - habits, health - sleep, diet, movement. 2) Identifying your strengths and how they can be used to help you in challenging situations. 3) Identifying how you are you currently dealing with stress, pain, hurt, or trauma. We will talk about strategies to improve your well-being. I look forward to the opportunity to partner with you on your journey to discovering a stronger, happier, and healthier you. This is the first step on your journey.
