I am a licensed clinical therapist and Reiki Master Teacher in Michigan with 27 years of professional work experience. I use a unique holistic/spiritual approach, incorporating the mind, body, and soul as they all go hand in hand. Since I was a freshman in high school, I knew that I wanted to be a therapist and help people. I never questioned it and pursued this. After about 21 years, I really started to have an interest in holistic methods, spirituality, and exploring different healing modalities. I had some physical issues due to a bad car accident I was in when I was younger, combined with the stress I was experiencing. This really motivated me to learn alternative healing methods. I also discovered that I am an Empath. So I pursued learning more about this and myself by really expanding on my spiritual journey, and wanted to share my knowledge with others.

My goal is to help you feel heard, respected, and safe to work through your struggles. I've spent over 8 years helping young adults and adults work through anxiety, grief and loss, life transitions or changes, and the everyday stresses of college, work, and relationships. Starting therapy can be scary or uncomfortable - which is why I take care in creating a nonjudgmental, supportive space for you to talk through things like persistent or excessive worry, self‑esteem, anger, stress, and coping skills. I aim to create a space where you can explore and enhance your existing strengths while unlocking inner strengths that have yet to flourish. I meet each person with a tailored approach, honoring each individual's unique journey. Clients often end sessions feeling understood, with practical tools to use in their daily lives.

Over the course of my career, I have had the privilege of working with people from diverse backgrounds, each with their own unique story, strengths, and struggles. These experiences have shaped my understanding of how deeply personal circumstances are influenced by larger systems, and how healing requires both compassion and practical strategies. My therapeutic style is warm, down-to-earth, and collaborative. I believe that healing is not something I do for you but something we create together. I meet you exactly where you are, without judgment, and walk beside you as you move forward. My role is to provide guidance, support, and evidence-based tools that empower you to make meaningful changes while honoring your lived experiences. I specialize in helping clients manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship challenges, but I also work with individuals seeking personal growth, clarity, or support during life transitions. Regardless of the circumstances, I view therapy as a space where people can feel seen, heard, and supported in ways that allow them to connect more deeply with themselves and others. At the core of my approach is the belief that every individual possesses resilience, strengths, and untapped potential. Therapy is a process of uncovering those strengths, identifying barriers, and creating a path toward balance and fulfillment. Whether you are facing a major life crisis or simply want to live with greater authenticity and joy, I am committed to helping you discover new possibilities for growth and healing. Together, we can build a foundation that supports lasting change and a more meaningful, empowered life.

I have seen people in almost all professional and community arenas (even jails). My work has been a mix of public and private sector involvement, including 11 years of community mental health service and over 30 years of individual practice. I have extensive experience in both home- and office-based psychotherapy, program development, clinical supervision, and clinical innovation. Special populations have included people with developmental disabilities, children and adolescents at risk for out-of-home placements, people with substance abuse issues, and geriatric populations; all have experienced various forms of grief, loss, and trauma while navigating the simple task of living and surviving. If you modify the title of Johnny Cash's song I've Been Everywhere to I've Done Everything (except prison work), that pretty much sums up my years of professional experience.

My specialties include depression, anxiety, relationship issues, behavioral challenges, post-partum depression, parenting, chronic illness, and grief. I am available to see clients in Kentucky in-person or telehealth, and Michigan or Minnesota via telehealth. The person centered approach means that the client is the center of everything from the initial assessment, to the development of the goals, to the treatment that is provided. It is important that you know you are accepted and with therapy you are able to address the concerns you have and learn to effectively work through them. I understand therapy can feel uncomfortable and the thought of sharing yourself with someone you don't know (yet) can be overwhelming. Give me a call and we can talk for an initial conversation to see if it will be a good fit.

I specialize in Trauma. I'm down to earth and real, with a side of wit and compassion. I have a background in crisis; I have worked in Psychiatric Hospitals, Medical Hospitals, Emergency Departments and Trauma Centers. As a former 2nd responder, my practice has developed into an integrative approach to therapy with the body's natural biological approach at the heart. Primarily, my approach is to get to the root of the issue, but more importantly, how to heal.

My aim is to foster a supportive and safe space for you to explore your feelings, thoughts and challenges. My work will help you recognize the power within you & source( whatever you believe in is totally okay in my world, I respect all) and trusting that it all works out the way it should! I have also faced my own life challenges, moved across the country to my dream states and more, which I believe has taught me to have more compassion and an open mind. Hence, why I always state I am a human first. One of my biggest strengths that helps foster a safe space for my clients, is my unconditional acceptance & operating from an unapologetic authentic framework, whilst helping them get to the level they desire. * I do offer a scaling rate for fees, please reach out for more information on that*

I am a therapist dedicated to creating safe, supportive spaces where healing can take root. Drawing on trauma-informed care, CBT, and person-centered approaches, I help clients navigate challenges with clarity and compassion. My work is grounded in cultural sensitivity and an understanding of how relationships shape our well-being. Together, we'll build pathways towards resilience, balance, self-discovery, and full integration. I believe that culture cures and history heals and I am open to nuance and I know that holding space for human beings to determine their own healing paths is paramount.

My name is Jeffrey, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Michigan, and a Licensed Social Worker and Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in Ohio. I have also been an ordained Lutheran pastor since 1989. My professional career began as an Associate Pastor in a Lutheran church in northwest Ohio, where I focused on youth ministry, Christian Education, and pastoral counseling. I entered Social Work in 1995 when I began work as a Family Worker in a residential facility for hard to place juvenile offenders, and then worked in a few outpatient counseling agencies providing mental health and substance use disorder services. I have experience working with people of all ages on general mental health issues, such as managing depression and anxiety, and have specialized in the areas of PTSD recovery and domestic violence and sexual abuse victims and offenders. Throughout my counseling career, I have maintained activity in ministry. I was trained in Clinical Pastoral Counseling and also have had training as a Spiritual Director. My counseling approach is generally non-directive, using a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing in a Solution Focused, Client Centered frame work. I can incorporate spirituality as much or as little as the client desires, from not referencing spirituality at all to fully engaging the spiritual dimension of life. As a caring, empathetic listener, people find it easy to talk with me and be open about what needs attention in their lives. I look forward to working with you!
