Addiction therapists & psychiatrists in Saginaw, MI

I have been counseling people of all ages for 43 years. I begin with listening to your story. I not only want to hear it; I want to understand it as well. Sometimes, this mutual understanding alone is all that a client needs. During the intake process, I will ask you detailed questions to further understanding of your situation and issues you are dealing with right now. Next, we will work together to form a plan of action which will guide our sessions together, which typically last 45 – 50 minutes. This plan of action will focus on helping you, the client, work towards solving problems and issues that you present. Did I mention that takes work? Achieving understanding of issues and taking appropriate actions towards wellness both take time, concentration and energy.

I am a Licensed Clinical Counselor as well as a Certified Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CAADC) in the state of Michigan

I have years of experience working with adults , families and couples. My focus is those who are struggling with mental health issues as well as everyday life issues. I also have experience in the following: communication, anxiety, Trauma, depression, personality disorders, life coaching, relationship conflicts, military personnel and their families

I believe in hope and healing, even in the midst of life’s most difficult challenges. As a clinical social worker and therapist with more than 30 years of experience, I offer compassionate, experienced support to individuals and families navigating serious illness, grief, loss, and caregiving.

I hold a Master of Social Work (MSW) from the University of Michigan and a Master of Arts (MA) in Counseling from Bowling Green State University. Throughout my career, I have specialized in helping people cope with the emotional and relational challenges that can accompany serious and chronic illness, including cancer, kidney failure, and dementia.

My work also focuses on grief and bereavement, including anticipatory grief—the grief that can begin before a death—as well as the profound loss that follows the death of someone we love. With experience as a palliative care and hospice clinician, I understand the complex intersection of medical, emotional, and family concerns that often arise during serious illness and at the end of life.

I also provide support to family caregivers, recognizing the tremendous emotional and practical demands of caring for a loved one. My goal is to create a compassionate, supportive space where individuals and families can feel heard, find meaning, process difficult emotions, and discover ways to move forward with greater hope and resilience.

I believe that even when we cannot change the circumstances we face, we can find support, connection, and healing as we navigate them together.

I've spent 30 years working in some of the harder corners of mental health — public mental health systems, behavioral health leadership, substance use treatment — and what I've carried forward from all of it is this: people heal when they feel genuinely seen. Not processed. Not managed. Seen.I work with adults, adolescents, and seniors who are navigating grief, addiction, anxiety, life transitions, trauma, and sometimes the particular weight that comes with illness, loss, and end-of-life experiences — their own or someone they love. I'm a licensed professional counselor in Michigan with dual master's degrees and advanced training in CBT, trauma-focused therapy, ACT, mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, and Critical Incident Stress Debriefing.My approach is practical in the truest sense of that word: I'm here to help you develop skills you can actually use, not just insight that stays in the room. And I take whatever time we need to make sure the work actually fits your life, not just a textbook version of your situation.

We are all travelers in this lifetime. Everyone is traveling to the same destination, but all benefit from a guide/professional support. I pass no judgment, I only meet people where they are at and where they wish to be. Let's get you to where you wish to be. I do encourage holistic and alternative methods to get to your goals, but am not against traditional approaches and in fact combining clinical with alternative have proven to have the best outcomes. Be prepared to put in the work. There will be homework, and it will be challenging. It could in fact be the most difficult thing that you do, but it is in your best interest.

Greetings! With 15 years of experience working with adults in mental health and trauma, I am passionate about being a catalyst for change and empowering individuals in their healing journey. I believe meaningful change begins with feeling seen, heard, and empowered to move forward.

As an experienced board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner, I specialize in adults between the ages of 18-64 experiencing anxiety, feelings of depression, stress, attention issues, grief, or sleep difficulties who want to feel better and supported. With over 10 years of experience working in different facilities across the country, my goal is to create a calm, judgment-free space where you feel comfortable, heard, and understood.
