Mental Health Services in Portage, MI

At Michigan Integrated Therapies, my aim is to create a safe, ethical, and collaborative environment for therapists and their clients. I specialize in relationships, addressing issues such as trust problems, communication barriers, infidelity, and life stressors that arise within the complexities of a relationship. In addition to couples counseling, I also offer child counseling and family therapy services. My focus extends to individual therapy, particularly on the impact of trauma, using techniques like EMDR in my outpatient psychotherapy practice.

As a counselor, my primary aim is to create a safe, collaborative, and supportive environment where individuals feel comfortable sharing their struggles and empowered to reach their goals. I offer individual therapy for adolescents (11+) and adults, as well as child counseling to help younger clients navigate their challenges. My holistic approach to counseling considers the whole person—emotional, psychological, physiological, and environmental factors—to help you achieve your unique aspirations. Whether through couples counseling, family therapy, or individual therapy, I provide the support, guidance, and structure needed for clients to discover personalized solutions within themselves. I believe counseling is not a one-size-fits-all experience. By utilizing Person-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I assist those facing anxiety, depression, body image issues, disordered eating, and life transitions. I am dedicated to helping clients build healthier relationships with food, their bodies, and the important people in their lives. As your counselor, it's my goal to hold space for you and support you in creating a life you are proud of. Therapy can be challenging and uncomfortable at times, so I strive to create a safe space for you to express your thoughts, feelings, and concerns. Ultimately, I hope to build a therapeutic relationship anchored in mutual respect and trust.

Life can be a lot to manage, especially when you're dealing with stress, pain, or constant changes. I provide a supportive and down-to-earth space where you can feel understood and begin creating meaningful change. As a trauma-informed therapist, I work with adults and couples facing challenges such as chronic pain and illness, caregiver burnout, trauma, life transitions, ADHD, anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues. I offer individual therapy, couples counseling, and family therapy, ensuring a collaborative and safe environment tailored to your needs. My empathetic and direct approach helps facilitate outpatient psychotherapy, making therapy effective and comfortable.

 My goal as a therapist is pretty simple: meet you where you are and support you as you move toward where you want to be. I try to create a space that feels safe, comfortable, and free of judgment so you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences at your own pace. I’m here to listen, support, and walk alongside you — and when it’s helpful, I’ll gently challenge your perspectives to help you see things in new ways. My hope is that therapy becomes a place where you feel understood and encouraged as you grow.

I’ve worked with people navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, and major life transitions. I’m also passionate about supporting the LGBTQ+ community. I have experience in grief work as well, and I consider it a privilege to accompany clients through such meaningful and difficult moments. 

I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and other research‑supported methods to offer well‑rounded care. Most of all, I aim to be a therapist who truly sees you — someone you can partner with as we move through your healing journey together.

As a therapist, I want you to know that when you sit with me, you are stepping into a judgment-free space. I believe therapy, whether it’s individual therapy, child counseling, couples counseling, or family therapy, should feel safe, supportive, and grounded in genuine care. My goal is to create an environment where you can speak openly, feel truly heard, and begin to heal at a pace that feels right for you. As a trauma-informed therapist, I recognize how past experiences can live in the body, shape relationships, influence coping patterns, and affect how safe the world feels. I am mindful of creating safety, building trust, and giving you choice and control in our work together. My past experiences working with survivors of domestic and sexual violence have given me the ability to hold deep respect for the courage it takes to share those stories. I have also worked with individuals navigating substance use and recovery, understanding that addiction is often connected to pain, trauma, and survival — not weakness. I approach this work with compassion, curiosity, and without shame. I don’t believe you are broken. I believe you have adapted to survive. Together, we can gently explore what’s been weighing on you, strengthen what’s already resilient within you, and build new ways of coping, including outpatient psychotherapy, that support the life you want. You don’t have to carry it alone anymore. I would be honored to walk alongside you.

Therapy takes hard work, courage, and a willingness to explore what may be holding us

back. As a counselor, I will be there to support you on your own unique journey, offering

a warm, compassionate, and judgment-free space where you can feel heard and

understood. I provide therapy both virtually and in person.

I believe therapy is a collaborative process, and it is important for me to truly get to

know my clients so I can better understand their individual experiences, needs,

strengths, and goals.

I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Art Therapy, Mindfulness, Somatic

Therapy, and working with adults experiencing co-occurring substance use disorders. I

draw from these approaches to help clients develop greater self-awareness, navigate

difficult emotions, build healthy coping skills, and create solutions that feel authentic and

sustainable for them.

My goal is to provide a safe and supportive space where you can share openly, explore

challenges, collaborate, and find strategies that work best for you. Whether you are

feeling stuck, navigating a major life transition, working through difficult experiences, or

simply looking for a better understanding of yourself, you don't have to navigate it alone
