Greetings! Thank you for taking the time to learn more about me as a potential counseling resource. First and foremost, I am a child of God who has been saved by His glorious grace! It is my sincere desire and hope to be used as a conduit of God in my therapy sessions. Some of the modalities that I have been trained in are as follows: EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing.) The Gottman Method for couple’s counseling, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Solution Focused Brief Therapy and IFS (Internal Family Systems.) I have been married for 36 years, a mother of 5 adult children and a grandmother to 11. I began my counseling journey working in a school setting for 9 years as a Behavioral Specialist, (elementary and high school.) I then transitioned into a clinical setting for two years at a family practice. As I grew and honed my skills as a clinical counselor, I felt the Lord’s leading to open a private Christian counseling practice and have been doing that for the last 7 years. I currently work in two locations, one is in Blissfield, MI and the other location is in Toledo, OH. The population that I primarily work with are adult women who are dealing with life transitions such as divorce, caring for a parent, retirement, etc. I addition, I provide premarital and marriage counseling. Another thing to note is that I am very familiar with the population who hold occupations in the agricultural industry. I have roots that run deep as former and current “farm girl” and can relate and speak to a multitude of issues that come with this way of life. If you would like to talk further, please feel free to email me and we can set up a 15 minute phone call to discuss any questions you might have.
