Compassionate Counseling for Life’s Most Difficult Moments
With over 20 years of experience, I specialize in helping adults navigate life’s most complex emotional challenges. My areas of focus include anxiety, depression, grief and loss, trauma, and life transitions, with particular expertise in supporting individuals affected by narcissistic relationships. I offer a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where you can process your emotions, better understand yourself, and discover the inner strength you already possess.
Specialized Support for Narcissistic Abuse and Toxic Relationships
If you’re in a relationship with a narcissist, or have left one, you need a therapist who truly understands what you’re experiencing. Narcissistic abuse is a specific form of trauma that affects your sense of self, your ability to trust your own perceptions, and your emotional well-being in profound ways.
Whether you’ve chosen to stay in the relationship or you’re rebuilding your life after leaving, I provide specialized support that honors your choices while helping you heal. For those who stay, we’ll work on developing boundaries, managing the emotional toll, and protecting your mental health. For those who’ve left, we’ll process what happened, address the grief and confusion that often follow, and help you reclaim your sense of self.
I understand that leaving isn’t always possible or desired and that every person’s situation is unique. What matters is that you have a trained therapist in Highland, Michigan who recognizes the specific dynamics of narcissistic relationships and can help you navigate them with clarity and compassion.
Specialized Support for Medical Diagnoses and Caregiving
A significant part of my work involves supporting individuals and families adjusting to complex or life-altering medical diagnoses. I have extensive experience as both an oncology counselor and bereavement therapist, and I understand how illness affects not just the person diagnosed but the entire family system. Whether you’re navigating treatment or grieving a loss, I’m here to support your emotional well-being through every stage.
