I am a counselor who embodies empathy, compassion, and motivation in guiding my clients toward healing and self-discovery. My training in TEAM CBT, developed by Dr. David Burns, emphasizes the transformative power of confronting negative thoughts to drive positive emotional change. This method, rooted in the principle that 'The Truth Shall Set You Free,' focuses on identifying and challenging cognitive distortions. Additionally, as a Christian Counselor, I seamlessly integrate Christian principles with traditional talk therapy and TEAM CBT, ensuring that these approaches complement rather than conflict. This holistic blend allows for a therapy experience where clients address their mental health challenges and find deeper meaning and alignment with their spiritual beliefs.

I'm a therapist who's all about getting to the deep interconnectedness of things – peeling back the layers to really understand what's at play. From what I've seen in our sessions, you're the kind of person who's often navigating a lot beneath the surface: those unprocessed emotions that can feel like a "big bowl of whatever," or those times when you go "zero to a hundred" because something deep is getting triggered. I get that you're exhausted from going in circles, and that sometimes, what seems like a simple miscommunication is actually rooted in old fears or feelings of being unheard. My approach isn't just about quick fixes; it's about seeing how your past experiences – like those significant losses or family dynamics you've navigated – connect directly to how you're feeling and reacting today. We'll explore those unconscious patterns and "defense mechanisms" that might have protected you once but are now holding you back. I'm here to help you understand not just what's happening, but why it keeps happening, so you can truly build healthier coping mechanisms and find a sense of peace that resonates with your whole self – mind, body, and spirit.

Specializing in anxiety, life transitions, emotional resilience, and inner child healing, I create a space that’s welcoming, down-to-earth, and grounded in trust.

No matter your age or stage in life, i believe healing starts with feeling seen and supported. And from the moment you walk through the door (or log on), you’ll know, you don’t have to do this alone.

I then moved to Virginia Beach where I contracted with the Dept of Defense providing family and individual therapy at different Naval Bases. I returned home after that time and set up a private practice where I continued to provide therapy for individuals, couples and families in my community until I started working at the VA Medical Center where I worked with veterans, caregivers and their families as a therapist as well as a case manager both in the hospital as well as on the home based team.

Hi, I'm Jenae! Ever feel like you're carrying the world on your shoulders, thinking you have to handle everything alone, only to feel suffocated by it all? It's a common struggle, believe me. But here's the scoop: counseling isn't about getting a to-do list or being labeled "weak" for reaching out. It's about finding a cozy spot to unpack what's on your mind and in your heart. It's a sanctuary where you can just be you, no judgments or expectations. So, if you're feeling overwhelmed, know this: seeking help is a brave move towards healing. You're not alone in this journey. I'm here to guide you towards understanding your thoughts, emotions, and actions better. With an authentic, easygoing, and even enjoyable approach, I create a safe, judgment-free zone where you can freely talk about your concerns.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by Michigan rather than a city like Detroit?

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in the state. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across Michigan from Grand Rapids to Warren! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in Michigan.

Will my therapist take insurance?

When booking you’ll be asked to verify with your Member ID. However, if you don’t have any of the insurances available you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on Child or Adolescent?

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need. For example, your selected specialty, Child or Adolescent, is filtering therapists in Michigan that work with patients with similar concerns.

Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

What to expect during your first session?

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs.

Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center. Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
