Could We Be a Good Fit?

We will probably be a good fit if...

You’re at least 30 and know you’re struggling with being stuck in survival mode. You know it’s impacting you in multiple ways and you’re highly motivated to make some changes, even if it feels scary.
You understand that investing in yourself is one of the least selfish things you can do.
You value human rights and racial and social justice.
You’ve been to therapy before, or have some experience with mindfulness, meditation, or another closely related experience/practice. While not required, these things can be helpful to prepare you for deeper work.
You are able to commit time-wise and financially to attending sessions weekly. Progress requires consistency.
You’re introspective, open and curious, and think you would enjoy a highly collaborative process.
You’re interested in doing the deep, transformational work to address issues at the root, in a holistic, integrative way, and you’re curious about how modalities like Brainspotting, IFS-informed parts work, Mindfulness, and Somatic work can help.
You’re not offended by profanity, and can appreciate that a well-timed expletive can be the fucking best.
You have a stable internet connection and a phone, tablet, laptop, or computer to do Teletherapy from. You also have a private, safe space, where interruptions will be rare and you can talk openly.
You live in Michigan or can be physically present in Michigan at the time of sessions.

Looking for in-person sessions. I only offer virtual sessions, and I am unable to accommodate requests for in-person meetings.
Under the age of 18 years old.
Using or abusing substances heavily.
Experiencing thoughts about harming or killing yourself or someone else. In-person sessions are best for people with these types of thoughts.
Unable to be in Michigan or one of the other PSYPACT® states during psychotherapy sessions. I can only practice in locations where I am either licensed or permitted to do so.
You want a quick fix. While we all want relief from suffering, the therapy I offer does not offer quick fixes. “It’s a process,” as the cliché goes. My philosophy is that healing involves building the capacity to hold pain vs. escape it.
You don’t live in Michigan or can’t be in the state at the time of sessions. I’m currently only legally licensed to practice in the State of Michigan.
You want a highly structured, protocol-based approach. My approach tends to be highly collaborative, fluid, flexible, and individualized.
You’re into spiritual bypassing (e.g. ‘everything happens for a reason’)
You need an early morning appointment. I do not offer appointments before 1-2pm.
You have difficulty being (mostly) on time, a lot of the time.
If we are likely not a good fit, you are always welcome to ask me for referrals.
