Anxiety Therapy Near Forest Hills, MI
Anxiety can slip into ordinary Forest Hills routines. Perhaps your shoulders tense while navigating Woodward Avenue, or unease surfaces at Jaycee Park when unexpected changes occur. We anchor our work in these real situations so improvements show up in the places that matter to you.
My approach is steady, direct, and practical. We keep sessions consistent, set up a reliable pause mechanism, and focus on techniques you can use following workplace conversations, ahead of daily tasks, or during calm moments in your living room. The aim is reduced spiraling, more confident choices, and increased capacity to settle.
How I Help With Anxiety in Forest Hills
Stop worry loops with brief resets you can use in a store line or before driving
Transform racing thoughts into two or three manageable steps for the rest of your day
Build patterns that encourage quality sleep and centered mornings without excessive pressure
Develop clear language for requesting support and establishing boundaries at home or work
My Approach
There is no single method that works for everyone. I draw from present moment regulation skills and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to address anxious thinking and behavior patterns. When it aligns with your goals, I may incorporate Brainspotting to calm body-based activation that traditional talk therapy hasn't reached. We will discover together what fits your needs and nervous system. We set modest goals, evaluate what's effective, and keep adjustments realistic for a typical Forest hHills week.

FAQ
Do I need to live in Ada to meet with you?
No. Many clients split time between Forest Hills and Grand Rapids. The Forest Hills focus helps us tie skills to your routines.
What will we focus on first for anxiety?
We start with short resets you can use before driving, after work, and during evenings. Then we target the thoughts and patterns that keep anxiety going.
Is online an option if I cannot drive down?
I offer secure telehealth when appropriate. If online is not a fit, we meet in person in Suite 303 on East Beltline.
