Mental Health Therapist Romeo MI

Welcome! I’m glad you’re here.

I help clients transform their relationships so they can stop feeling stuck in conflict and build joyful, connected relationships with the people they love.

We all carry experiences from past relationships, and some of those patterns can interfere with present-day connection with partners, family, and friends. My role is to help you identify what keeps you feeling stuck, confused, or overwhelmed. From there, we make sense of what’s happening, tap into your natural strengths, and build practical strategies to reestablish emotional peace and confidence—so you can feel more at ease in your relationships with others and with yourself.

My approach is relational and client-centered, grounded in a commitment to your confidentiality. Letting yourself explore the thoughts and feelings that create stress is often the first step toward real freedom.

Therapy approach and treatment focus

My work is collaborative and structured. You bring your lived experience; I bring a framework for clarifying patterns, understanding what triggers them, and practicing new responses that align with your values. This is not about blame. It’s about learning what keeps repeating and what it would take to move toward steadier connection.

I also pay attention to how stress shows up in the body. When stress runs high, it can feel like your mind is stuck on a loop. Building internal safety helps you think more clearly and make choices you feel proud of and that are aligned with your values and goals.

I provide support for mental health concerns that often show up alongside relationship stress, including anxiety and depression, burnout, grief, and major life changes. Together, we focus on a treatment plan that is realistic for your life and centered on progress you can actually sustain.

Common areas we can work on:

• Recurring arguments that never seem to resolve

• Communication breakdowns and misunderstandings

• Rebuilding trust after hurt, disappointment, or betrayal

• Boundaries with partners, extended family, or friends

• Shame, self-criticism, and low self-worth

• Overwhelm, irritability, emotional shutdown, or numbness

• Life transitions, role changes, and identity shifts

• Repair skills—how to reconnect after conflict

What change can look like over time

Change often happens in layers. First, we stabilize: you learn what escalates things and what helps you regulate. Then, we clarify: you gain language for what you feel, need, and value. Then, we practice: you try new approaches in real situations and refine them over time.

When therapy may be a fit

You do not need to be in crisis to reach out. If you notice persistent tension, emotional exhaustion, or a pattern you can’t break on your own, therapy can help you regain clarity and direction sooner.

Finding the right fit therapist

You deserve a provider who feels respectful, steady, safe, and aligned with your goals. You’re welcome to ask questions and compare therapists. It can take some time to build and deepen trust, but my goal is to start establishing that trust and safety from our first contact.  If it doesn’t feel like we are the right fit, I will do my best to help you find a therapist who is. 

Services, scheduling, and consultation

I offer services designed to support meaningful change while respecting your privacy and your pace. A helpful first step is a free phone consultation. This is a chance to share what’s bringing you in, ask questions, and discuss paperwork, scheduling, etc. 

You do not have to have everything figured out to set up a consultation, or even a first session.  That is part of the beauty of therapy- a collaborative and relational approach means that we can start with whatever is on your mind right now, and clarity about your goals will naturally develop through the process of exploring what has gotten you to this point and where you want to go next. 

Your first session

In your first session, we focus on what’s happening now, what feels most urgent, and what you want to be different. We’ll discuss patterns you’ve noticed, what you’ve tried so far, and what has helped. We’ll also cover expectations, boundaries, and practical details so you feel clear about the process.  You are welcome to ask questions about my approach and the therapeutic process at any time during therapy.
