Time to Make a Change?

Virtual Therapy | Michigan
Are you feeling scattered, overwhelmed, or struggling to keep up with life's demands? Maybe you're feeling unmotivated and have a hard time starting and finishing tasks? Are you experiencing sleepless nights, or finding it difficult to connect with others?
Whether it's ADHD you’re struggling with, the stress of cultural expectations, or a sense of not being understood in your relationships, you don’t have to navigate these challenges alone.
Life is hard. Sometimes you have to go a bit deeper than traditional talk therapy to explore the layers of your experiences.
In our work together, we’ll focus on gaining insight and healing old wounds. How many times have you asked yourself “why do I do that?”
I believe in the power of understanding your past—how the coping skills that once helped you survive, like hypervigilance, are not just remnants of trauma but are actually superpowers.
These strengths, born from darker times, are the light that now guide your purpose, empathy, compassion, and understanding for others.
Life’s journey can often feel overwhelming, especially when dealing with issues such as:
Organization, ADHD, and executive dysfunction that leave you feeling scattered and overwhelmed.
Avoidance of social situations or feeling disconnected from others.
Navigating cultural expectations or feeling like you don't quite fit in.
Struggling with setting boundaries and forming attachments in relationships.
Feeling unheard, unseen, or misunderstood by those closest to you.
Dealing with low self-esteem, self-doubt, or a lack of confidence.
Coping with and managing chronic health issues.
Searching for purpose and direction, unsure of what’s important to you or what you value.
Healing from all forms of trauma, whether it's PTSD or the lingering effects of "little t" traumas.
I am a therapist in Michigan, and I’m so grateful you’re here!
Deciding to seek therapy is a big step, and my goal is to make this process as welcoming and comfortable as possible.
Whether you’re feeling unfulfilled in your relationships or searching for a deeper sense of purpose, I’m here to support you on your journey.
I use a blend of evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART).
My goal is to guide you toward gaining insight, healing old wounds, and building skills that empower you in your everyday life.
Inside and outside therapy sessions, I’m approachable, down-to-earth, and genuinely invested in creating a space where you can be your authentic self.
I love fall, Halloween, and find joy in the simple pleasures like decorating or tending to my garden. Just like gardening, I believe in creating the right conditions for growth and transformation in therapy.
Hi there! I’m Kristen!
