Access counseling services through Brightside, a managed online platform that accepts insurance for Michigan and Indiana clients.

When you register, please send a message to the Support team and request me as your counselor. Available to clients in the states of Michigan and Indiana.
Online Psycho-education Services
Psycho education services are also great option for clients who have completed weekly counseling and are ready to maintain their momentum with the convenience of 1-2 monthly sessions, at your discretion. For clients who prefer coaching over counseling, this is also a great option. We will meet via Zoom, for 45 minute sessions. $100 per session. Available to clients nationwide.

Anger Management
We often think..."THAT MAKE ME SO MAD!"​
​
But what we know is that our thoughts direct our emotions. We create our anger.
​
Don't panic-this is a tough concept because our anger so often feels out of our control. It is easy to be tricked into thinking that if THEY would just change, then WE wouldn't have to get so mad. This out of control feeling can lead to the breakdown of relationships, problems with abuse, high risk behavior and even lead to trouble with the law. Figuring this stuff out is easier than a life of strife, anger, and failed interactions.
​
The good news about this is that we get to control how we think, and take care of the business of life.
Relationships
Stress
​​
Family dynamics really influence how we connect with others, right?
When everyone sticks too closely to their roles or drags old habits into new relationships, it create some tension. But don’t worry! Simple communication tricks, self-soothing methods, and de-escalation strategies can help smooth things over in friendships and romantic partnerships. By using these tools, we can all enjoy healthier, happier relationships!

Argh, LIFE!
It can take us to many places, and some of those places are tougher than others. We tend to soar during the great times, but what do we do when living requires more from us than we think we have; when life gets really stressful? Change, even 'good' changes, can bring unexpected stress. Ah yes, "into every life a little rain must fall." Grief in any form including bereavement, divorce, break ups, death of a beloved pet...it can seem that life never misses an opportunity to throw us for a loop.
Being able to sort things through in a nonjudgemental, safe and private place can be very helpful, and make you available to enjoy life, stressors and all!
And many other topics, based on what you want to work on!
