Counseling Philosophy
In a therapeutic setting, I strive to provide the space for clients to shed the external expectations of who they should be, and instead find the strength in who they truly are. For those who know exactly what they want to work through, to those who just sense that life does not feel comfortable, I am here to help explore life experiences and how they have shaped the behaviors and emotions in the person one has become. From there we can work together to clarify a brighter path forward.
Counseling Orientation
I typically use an integrated approach, combining methods from person-centered, narrative, cognitive, and existential therapy.
Areas of Specialty: I am focused primarily on adults experiencing life transitions (young adult to adulthood, parenting challenges, loss of physical capabilities due to illness/injury), burnout from emotionally-taxing work and personal obligations, family transitions, as well as depression, anxiety, trauma, body image difficulties/eating disorders, and adult attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
Qualifications
I am nearing completion of a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Oakland University, expected December 2023 and am seeing clients under the supervision of a Licensed Professional Counselor. Additionally, I hold a Master of Public Administration from Central Michigan University, and previously worked in human resources and case management in the public and non-profit sectors.

The good life is a process, not a state of being. It is a direction, not a destination. As a clinician, it is my goal to help guide you in the right direction of your personal good life. While providing a secure, trustworthy environment for you, together we will work towards the process of building the best version of yourself. While I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Theory in combination with Psychodynamic Theory, my approach is more importantly based on a foundation of empathy, compassion, and respect. I will work collaboratively with you to identify your unique needs and goals, and tailor my interventions to best suit your individual needs.
I work with individuals from a variety of different backgrounds. I also take pride in having a multicultural perspective and being willing to learn about one’s culture and how it influences them. I recognize the importance of cultural sensitivity and strive to create a space where clients from all backgrounds feel seen, heard, and valued.
The issues I specialize in are as follows: anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, and self-esteem issues. I have experience with working with adults, adolescents, and children. I am honored to have the opportunity to potentially work with you and help you navigate life's challenges with greater resilience and self-awareness.

Most clients seek counseling because they want to create a positive change in their life. Creating change can be both exciting and intimidating. Finding the right counselor to help facilitate that change is crucial. I provide an empathetic, nonjudgmental, and supportive environment where you can feel comfortable exploring your thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors while finding ways to create positive change. I work with my clients to build a strong therapeutic relationship so you feel comfortable and empowered during sessions. I believe each client I see is unique and there is no “fix all” approach to counseling; therefore I use an integrative approach to therapy. By using an integrative approach I am able to tailor your treatment to what fits you and your goal(s) the best. I most frequently use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Rogerian Therapy with my clients.
I specialize in grief and end of life issues. In addition to my specialty areas I also have experience helping those with depression, anxiety, adjustment issues, and trauma. I work with couples and individuals age 16 and older.

It can be difficult to open up and feel heard, especially when you may be struggling with anxiety, depression, or other mental health diagnoses. As a counselor, it is my mission to create a calm, hopeful, and safe space for you to discuss your goals and overcome your struggles. I collaborate with my clients to find solutions and insight, increase self-esteem and personal growth, and learn new and lasting coping mechanisms.
In my practice I often incorporate Person Centered therapy, Cognitive Behavioral therapy and Solution-Focused therapy to highlight your strengths and assess where you’d most like to see growth, and challenge those negative thought patterns you may have. Together we can find the best therapeutic approach for you and where you are in this stage of life. It is my belief that through the support and understanding given in a therapeutic relationship, you can find the positive change and healing you are seeking.

Having difficulty moving forward how you want to or feeling like you're stuck in an unproductive space? Let's work together to resolve those feelings and work towards a more productive state of mind. I utilize a variety of evidence-based treatments in an integrative approach to help clients realize their personal goals and work towards meeting them. My areas of interest and experience include depression, anxiety, ADHD, and helping clients work through various life transitions at whatever life stage they are currently at. I also have experience and am an ally within the LGBTQIA+ community.
In order to work towards productive goals, I assist clients by providing a comfortable atmosphere for them to discuss any processes which they might find cumbersome within their life. I work with my clients to identify thoughts and behaviors that are happening in the present while being informed by their past to help them move onto a more productive path.

Hello, I'm Jessica and I am here to be a listening ear, a helpful guide, and a support. I am a licensed professional counselor who has worked in mental health related fields for 12 years, with four years specifically in mental health counseling. I have a Masters degree in Mental Health Counseling from Wayne State University and am also working towards my Ph.D. in counseling. I chose this profession from a profound desire to help and a strong belief that we all deserve help and healing.
Deciding to seek help is the first brave step towards wellness. Taking positive strides and making healthy changes is what I am here to help with. Developing a warm, inviting, trusting, and calm environment is what I strive to provide each and every session. For me, the most important aspect of therapy is developing a healthy therapeutic relationship where you feel safe to share your feelings, thoughts and experiences. I use an integrative treatment approach to fit you and your goals; however, I most frequently use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and client-centered techniques. I have experience helping adults of various backgrounds with a variety of presenting issues including depression, anxiety, trauma, and substance abuse. I am also fluent in Spanish and have experience in providing bilingual therapy.
My ultimate goal for my clients is to feel comfortable, empowered, and achieve positive change.

Getting Started
The search for support can be a difficult first step. You deserve to find a therapist you feel safe and connected with, whether that's me or someone else. Feel free to reach out for a brief phone consultation to navigate the process of finding the right fit.
My Approach
Motivated by the inherent potential of people and the mysticism of life, I'm driven to help my clients find what works for them. My approach is holistic, fluid, and individualized—so if you want nothing to do with mindfulness, just let me know! Together, we’ll create a safe, judgment-free space to explore your wants and needs. I like to describe therapy as the two of us on a boat: you’re the captain steering the ship, and I’m the passenger helping to navigate. Wherever you're at on your journey, I'm willing to meet you there and support you in reaching your desired destination.
I'm currently offering virtual appointments on Mondays and Tuesdays and in-person visits on Wednesdays. Let me know if you're interested in a nature-based approach, and we can talk about that option on an individual basis.
Counseling Experience
I've spent most of my time working with children and families in the school system and through community mental health. While much of my work has been supporting parents and adolescents, I also have personal and professional experience with anxiety and depression, working with people from age 7 to 67.
The Technical Stuff
If you're looking for support, but not sure what you need, just ask. I'm more than willing to go through the various approaches to therapy to help you discover what's best for you. My approach is generally an eclectic, person-centered mix of cognitive behavioral, solution-focused, mindfulness-based, family systems, play and art informed, and trauma-focused therapy. I also offer aspects of wilderness and nature therapy and an eagerness to learn and share the latest advances in the field.

Are you feeling as though you have no one to talk to or no one who is willing to listen to your concerns and frustrations as well as your successes? Listening is one of the most effective ways one can demonstrate empathy to others. I am here to be that someone and to help guide you to be the best version of yourself. I have worked with many diagnoses including Anxiety, Depression, Suicidal Ideation, Trauma, ADHD, and Personality Disorders. I am here to provide a neutral and safe space for my clients. Find available appointments this week, visit the client portal at https://www.therapyportal.com/p/treelife48309/ and click on Karen.
I use the therapeutic approach that is best for my client. I have often used Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Person-Centered Therapy, Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) and Play Therapy. I work on building rapport in the first session so the child, adolescent, or adult feels comfortable during our future sessions.
I specialize in working with children who have depression, anxiety, bullying, anger, and self-esteem issues. This can be a difficult time for loved ones, seeing their child struggle, therefore I work with the parent(s)/guardian(s) and/or family as a whole to help them through not only their child's journey but their own journey as well.

A change in life no matter how small can create a variety of emotions and it can be difficult sometimes to navigate what the next step is. If you feel like you need someone outside of your family or friends to release some of that emotion, I am here for you. My goal as a counselor is to remain neutral in offering guidance to those looking for a safe space to learn about themselves while facing all of life’s moments.
I believe that to see results in working with a counselor, having a common goal and manageable steps towards that goal is critical to evolve adjustments in thinking into life habits. My practice is centered around learning and creating a mental toolbox of strategies that can be used in maneuvering conflicts in all stages of life. These include education and goal setting as well as setting manageable objectives for individual growth. I believe all clients, regardless of age can benefit from enhancing their knowledge on self-awareness and healthy emotional regulation.
My target population is children and adolescents, where I partner with both my client and their guardians to create a space where appropriate collaboration is used to best serve the client’s well-being. I also work with adults both individually and as a couple who are navigating the emotions surrounding major life transitions such as divorce, parenting and grief and loss. I have experience working with diagnoses such as anxiety, depression, childhood adjustment disorders, panic disorders, trauma, and self-harm.
I believe that everyone has a right to advocate for their needs and grow through obstacles in a way that they can understand. I also acknowledge that every client has a different perspective on what healthy living is and respect those boundaries accordingly. Therefore, I use an integrative humanistic theoretical approach that also utilizes narrative and cognitive behavioral tactics. In other words, I help clients organize information within their life into a chronological sequence to understand the connection to their past and implement goal setting using concrete thoughts and behaviors you may already practice to help make adjustments to create a future you can be excited about. Every individual has a story and I want to acknowledge and celebrate each one to continue creating the formative skills needed to live out your future chapters.
I celebrate you for taking this step towards growth for yourself and it is my pleasure to be a part of your team.

Taking the first step towards making a change can be an intimidating process. While it can be exciting, it can also feel overwhelming on where to begin. Whether you struggle with anxiety, depression, substance abuse, or are going through a challenging life event, I provide an empathetic, nonjudgmental environment where we can explore and work towards your individual goals.
I use an integrative theoretical approach with my clients, meaning that I take into account that every client and situation is different and must be treated as so. The therapy approaches I frequently use are Person-Centered, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Gestalt, and Solution Focused.
With a little bit of humor and a lot of compassion we can work together to move through challenges and towards what you want more of in life.
