Therapists Beginning With Y in Michigan

I believe people are innately their own inner-masters within their life journeys. I strive to provide an environment in which my clients may feel comfortable and safe navigating life’s ever-changing and dynamic adjustments. I believe my role as a counselor is to help in facilitating each client’s journey in a non-judgmental, empathetic, and understanding space.

It's more than worrying. It's more than stress. Anxiety is getting in your way-affecting you at work, at school, or in your relationships. Racing or obsessive thoughts may make it next to impossible to focus or be present in your life. These feelings may cause you to avoid things you love, make you fear your own thoughts, or get in the way of healthy relationships. Your anxiety may cause physical symptoms or a general sense of doom or unease. This can be frustrating or absolutely terrifying. With empathy, honesty, a sense of humor, and respect, I can help you be free of fear!

My mission as a psychologist is to provide clients with quality humanistic and clinical psychological services. My focus is to enable clients to acquire insight, skills, and motivation for emotional, cognitive, and behavioral transitions. I believe it is essential to the therapeutic process to provide a supportive environment that promotes freedom of personal choice, so that healing and learning can take place. It is important that each client feels welcome to explore personal issues in an open and safe environment.

Psychotherapy helps people develop inner strengths and resources that allow one to live a more satisfying and productive life. Psychotherapy can be greatly transformative and offers both hope and development of psychic tools for human problems. Often people come to therapy when they are experiencing difficulties at work, in their relationships, and in other important areas of their lives. They may have symptoms of depression or anxiety, and feel unsure of how to address these problems. Psychotherapy can help alleviate these concerns and free up one's energy to live a more satisfying life.

I believe that therapy can be for everyone. Personal growth is a life long journey and therapy can help people realistically asses themselves and the manner in which they perceive, interact, and act within their world. I am here to help people achieve a change that promotes balance, growth, understanding and to become a “Master of their actions, not a prisoner of their reactions”. I also believe humor can be used as an integral tool in the therapy experience. It often illuminates the many strange and challenging predicaments that we all face at times.

The journey inwards can be the next step in moving forward. Being willing to ask yourself the tough questions, become accountable, and be vulnerable takes courage. I am an advocate, supporter of others, healer of sorts (through words), and I do my best to offer compassion, a listening ear, and be your partner in the healing process. I thrive on human connection, whether it be through exchanging stories, memories, hardships, successes, failures, and learning from life’s inevitable mistakes. I believe in resilience during the presence of fear, anger when faced with injustice, and the capability to bounce back from adversity.

You recently discovered your child or teen may need counseling and are thinking, "Now what?!" It could be that your child is acting out and their teacher recommended counseling; maybe your teen told you they question if anyone cares about them; or you began fostering a child and know they need the extra support; or maybe it's the stresses of everyday life that are bogging you down and you need some sort of outlet. One of the hardest things about being in a time of despair is feeling alone, as if no one understands you, and then being so scared to take that first next step without knowing where to turn or what questions to ask.

I work to create a welcoming and collaborative environment in the therapy room. I believe that empathy, authenticity, and unconditional positive regard help create the space necessary for clients to understand themselves and make positive change in their lives.

During my years working in private practice, I have assisted clients with transforming their lives from desperation and crippling anxiety to a life filled with love and serenity. I have watched families who were broken by addiction who now live a chaotic-free life with improved communication and rid themselves of codependent behaviors. I have had the pleasure of watching couples learn to love and support each other and build a stronger relationship. My goal is to support others to find calmness and wholeness within their lives and relationships. I promise to lean into your feelings and not simply hand you a worksheet.
