As a seasoned therapist working well over thirty years helping a diversified population from school age children their families to working with mentally-ill patients and providing substance abuse treatment to individuals and group therapy providing these services as career is very full feeling. Those whom are in need of getting their life back together is always a challenge and can be very stressful. So therefore, the approach to counseling requires different methods to the person needs depending on what is going on in their lives. Working with individuals does require different approaches such as cognitive/supportive/confrontational therapy to reach their ability to function well. It's always hard to ask for Help and open up to someone whom you do not know but the benefits can be very rewarding. If I can be of professional assistance to you please reach out and we can work together on these changes.

For over 17 years, I’ve had the privilege of supporting individuals as they navigate healing, growth, and change. I specialize in addiction and mental health therapy and bring a down-to-earth, collaborative approach to the counseling relationship. I believe you are the expert on your own life and already possess the strengths needed to move forward. My role is to help you access those strengths through empathy, thoughtful challenge of unhelpful thought patterns, and support in embracing your unique identity. Many people come to therapy feeling as though they missed an instruction manual for life—aware that something isn’t working, but unsure how to change it. You may be experiencing intense emotions, finding yourself stuck in patterns you know are harmful, or struggling to cope in ways that feel healthy or sustainable. When life feels overwhelming, and fear, stress, or addiction has taken hold for you or someone you love, therapy can offer new tools, perspective, and flexibility. You may long for a sense of relief—to breathe more easily and feel less weighed down by daily life. Perhaps you want to work toward meaningful goals, repair strained relationships, build healthier connections, manage stress without shutting down, or rediscover a sense of purpose and fulfillment. I’ve worked with many people facing these same challenges, and I understand how isolating they can feel. My passion is helping individuals move through these struggles with compassion, clarity, and hope—so you know you don’t have to face them alone.

Find a therapist near you in Parma, Michigan

Finding a therapist near you in Parma, Michigan starts with matching to a licensed professional who fits your needs, schedule, and goals. Michigan is home to people with diverse mental health needs across urban, suburban, and rural communities, which can make it challenging to find care. BetterHelp connects you with a licensed therapist through tailored matching, so you can begin care from home or wherever works for you. 

The network includes over 30,000 licensed therapists globally, and over 4 million people have used BetterHelp to find support through online therapy. During matching, 93% of user preferences are met, which helps you connect with a therapist suited to what you are looking for. Whether you are searching for help with anxiety, trauma, affordable or insurance covered therapy, weekend or flexible scheduling, or virtual sessions, you can find a therapist and get started when you are ready.

Why work with a licensed therapist near you?

Working with a licensed therapist near you gives you access to professional mental health support from someone trained to help you understand and manage what you are going through. A licensed therapist can offer evidence-based approaches, a steady space to talk, and guidance tailored to your situation. In Michigan, online therapy can make that care more accessible, since sessions happen from home or wherever you are, without the need to travel to an office. This can help if your schedule is full, if travel is difficult, or if you simply prefer a more discreet setting. You can learn more about what a therapist does on the therapist role page.

Online therapy can be especially helpful for people living across Michigan, where access to in-person mental health care may vary by location.

What concerns can therapists help with?

Therapists can help with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety and stress, depression, trauma and PTSD, self-esteem and identity, people-pleasing and fear of rejection, insomnia and racing thoughts, workplace stress and burnout, substance use, parenting and co-parenting stress, grief and loss, and relationship and family challenges. Therapists on BetterHelp may draw on approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), depending on your needs and goals. You can explore support for specific concerns on pages such as generalized anxiety disorder, major depressive disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, and eating disorders.

Please note that therapists on BetterHelp do not provide psychiatric medication management or formal diagnoses.

Online therapy vs. in-person therapy in Michigan

Online therapy and in-person therapy both connect you with a licensed professional, and the main difference is how you meet. In Michigan, online therapy through BetterHelp lets you have sessions by phone, video, or in-app messaging, so you can meet from home or on a schedule that fits your life. In-person therapy takes place at an office and may involve travel and set appointment windows. Online therapy may be more accessible for people with busy schedules, limited transportation, or a preference for a more discreet setting. Both formats can support meaningful progress, so the right choice often comes down to what fits your life.
