Online Therapy in Michigan
Grief that feels stuck. Broken trust or heartbreak. A childhood that asked too much of you.
Virtual EMDR, somatic, and parts work therapy in Michigan with an expert therapist.
Real Help, Wherever You Are in Michigan
Maybe you're in Grand Rapids and every therapist you've called has a waitlist. Maybe you're along the Lake, or up north, or somewhere the nearest trauma specialist is a two-hour drive that isn't happening in February. Maybe you've been functioning… working, showing up, holding it together ~ while carrying something that hasn't moved in years.
Online therapy in Michigan means the right specialist doesn't depend on your zip code. I'm a licensed clinical social worker providing virtual therapy across Michigan for grief, betrayal trauma, and the long reach of growing up with emotionally immature parents, using approaches like EMDR, IFS, and somatic therapy. Weekly sessions happen over secure video, from your living room, your parked car, or your office with the door closed.
I also grew up here. Lake Michigan is where I hold in-person grief intensives, on the shoreline.
If you've been waiting for the right time, this can be it.
Grief Therapy in Michigan
Grief doesn't follow a schedule, and it doesn't only show up after a death everyone recognizes as sad. Some of the hardest grief is complicated: a parent who hurt you dies and you feel guilt and relief tangled together, or you spent years caregiving and don't know who you are without the role. I work with grief that's stuck, grief nobody around you understands, and grief you feel like you're not allowed to have.
Grief therapists in Michigan who specialize in complicated and stuck grief are rare, and it's the center of my work. Weekly grief therapy happens over secure video, anywhere in the state. And for grief that needs more than an hour a week can hold, I offer two-day in-person grief intensives on the Lake Michigan shoreline ~ immersive work that includes time at the water itself.
Online Trauma Therapy in Michigan
Trauma isn't only the big, obvious events. It's also the discovery that changed everything: the affair, the secret, the double life you didn't know you were living next to. Betrayal trauma is one of my primary specialties ~ the hypervigilance, the timeline obsession, the checking you can't stop even though you hate it.
I also work with adults untangling the long reach of growing up with emotionally immature parents: the guilt, the over-responsibility, the years of managing everyone else's feelings before your own. In a lot of Michigan families, that was just called being a good kid.
Whether you're searching for online trauma therapy from Detroit, Traverse City, or anywhere in Michigan, the right specialist doesn't have to be local.
EMDR Therapy Online in Michigan
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) helps your brain finish processing experiences that got stuck: the memory that still makes your chest tighten, the moment your mind keeps returning to at 2am. It works well over video, using the same protocol as in-person sessions ~ so whether you're in Novi, Marquette, or anywhere in between, an EMDR therapist is as close as your laptop. I offer EMDR in weekly therapy and as a virtual EMDR intensive.
EMDR isn't the only approach I use. Depending on what you're carrying, we may work with IFS (Internal Family Systems) or somatic therapy, all of which translate fully to online sessions in Michigan.
