TransformationalChoices

Good day and welcome! I am a firm believer that everyone deserves good quality mental health care. I specialize in people with complex, pervasive and persistent mental health needs that are often harder to engage or have experienced trauma. I stand by person-centered planning and working together with you at becoming the best person you can be. I want to know what your recovery plan looks like to you and help you meet those personal success goals together. I work on helping to reframe perspective, radical acceptance, and rebuilding lives. I utilize aspects of CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy), Harm Reduction Models, Humanistic and Wholistic Approaches, Mindfulness, Motivational Interviewing, Person Centered Therapy, and REBT (Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy) and Talk Therapy.

My services are designed to work with individuals, couples or groups, along with their therapist in order to set and achieve specific goals.  Together we will overcome obstacles and increase your focus on goal attainment.  We will break down your goals into manageable steps so you can accomplish your goal and present your best self.  These services are designed to help in your career development, focus on your well being, or increase your leadership skill set.

My approach to therapy is rooted in building non-judgmental
relationships with people of all ages that honor the change work you
want to do in your life. Through a person-centered, strength-based
approach, we will work to create a space that supports the healing,
growth, and peace you want to achieve. I have a wide range of
experience that includes supporting people navigating grief/loss,
anxiety, developmental/cognitive/physical disabilities, autism,
personal relationship issues, parenting, school issues, anger, trauma
and more. I have worked in both schools and community organizations
with groups and individuals. It is extremely important that I work
WITH and for you as you are the expert on your life.

I deliver support holistically and draw on several different
modalities including, but not limited to, cognitive behavioral,
narrative, adventure therapies, motivational interviewing, and
mindfulness. Aiming to provide services through an anti-oppression and
decolonial lens is central to my practice.

Thank you for taking the time to learn more about me and the work I do. As a therapist, I strive to create a space where you feel truly seen, heard, and supported. My goal is to help you navigate life’s challenges with compassion and understanding, while empowering you to take meaningful steps toward the life you envision for yourself. I believe that progress happens at your pace, and I am here to walk alongside you every step of the way. 

I specialize in working with individuals and families navigating various life challenges, including adoption, family transitions, parenting, and relationship issues. I bring extensive experience from the child welfare system, supporting children, adults, and families in foster care and adoption through Michigan’s court system. Whether you're dealing with stress, self-esteem, depression, or relationship struggles, I am here to help you explore your needs, understand your challenges from different perspectives, and discover the best solutions for your unique situation.

My therapeutic approach is rooted in understanding and connection. I use a range of modalities, including mindfulness and relational techniques, to help you explore your issues deeply and holistically. Together, we can navigate life’s complexities and help you connect with your inner strengths and spiritual self.

If you're ready to take the next step in your journey, I’m here to support you.

Welcome and congratulations on taking the next step in your healing journey! Change is not always easy but with holistic, compassionate support, change is doable. I would consider it an honor to walk alongside as you embark on the road to rediscovering your authentic self. Together we can address depression, anxiety, trauma, CPTSD, grief and loss, and relational issues. I am passionate about working with caregivers but I invite adult individuals from all backgrounds. I approach person-centered therapy from the perspective that values free will, the uniqueness of each individual, and the strengths each individual possesses to affect life changes.  I use a mix of techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Reality Therapy, as well as other evidenced-based interventions/activities to shape an adaptable mental health wellness plan specific to your needs. I wish you success on your journey to wholeness.

Through our therapy sessions we will create an open, safe and non-judgmental environment. I focus on having a person centered approach and meet clients where they are at. Over time this allows us to unlock individualized goals, address concerns and achieve overall growth. You are not alone in this journey. It's not easy asking for help, my goal is to make those next steps a little easier.

I will collaborate with you in building skills to help you reach your goals. I’m here to listen and create a safe space grounded in a trauma-informed and strengths-based perspective to help you find a balance in life and feel more at ease. I specialize in helping adults and teenagers cope with burnout which can manifest in symptoms of anxiety and/or mood disorders or substance use. I use various techniques based on your needs, such as Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy.  I also use a warm, culturally conscious approach that allows you to understand how to create more self-compassion in your life.

Hello, I’m Kate!

I know how tough it can be to open up to someone new—it takes a lot of strength to take that first step toward caring for your mental health, and I’m so glad you’re here.

My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and client-centered, grounded in empathy and relationship-building. I believe you know yourself best, and I’m here to walk alongside you as you move toward a more mindful and fulfilling life.

I strive to create a safe space where you feel truly heard, empowered, and supported—whether you're navigating challenges or celebrating the wins. This is a judgment-free zone where you can be your full self: creative, serious, silly, reflective—whatever you need at the moment.

My work is rooted in evidence-based approaches such as Motivational Interviewing and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), along with a deep belief in your ability to grow, heal, and thrive.

Seeking a supportive space to feel heard and understood? Whatever you are dealing with, you can expect a collaborative, accepting environment that focuses on your strengths and provides a place for processing. Driven by your goals and needs, our work together can lead to a renewed sense of self, build confidence, and develop skills for navigating difficult situations.

I offer holistic, individual counseling and use an eclectic approach that incorporates techniques from Solution-Focused, Cognitive Behavioral, and Adventure therapies within a strengths-based, empowerment framework. I practice from a client-centered, trauma informed, and anti-oppression perspective.

James Baldwin said, “Not everything that is faced can be changed. But nothing can be changed until it is faced.” This work is hard but important, and I hope we can face it together.

Hello! For a lot of people, the idea of going to therapy can feel daunting. Opening up about your thoughts, experiences, and emotions with someone can feel like a very intimidating process. As a therapist, I make it my goal to make that process as gentle and rewarding as possible. Using a trauma-informed lens, I strive to create a space filled with nonjudgmental and unconditional support. I want therapy to feel like a space where you can bring your full self and feel accepted for who YOU are and want to become, and not for what others think you should be.

I take a client-centered, collaborative approach and will meet you exactly where you are. Whether you’re navigating difficult challenges or looking for space to explore who you are, my goal is to support you in a way that feels right for you.

Even taking the step to read this page is meaningful, and I want to honor the courage it takes to begin exploring therapy. If you choose to take the next step, I’d be honored to support you on your journey.
