Hello! Therapy is a process of self discovery. The decision to seek therapy is a sign of strength and an indication that you are willing to invest in yourself! The clients with which I work best share the willingness to commit to the process of therapy and do the hard work. My goal for each session is to create a warm and inviting atmosphere where together we can explore and discover insights about your life, the root causes of stumbling blocks, and the means to help you heal, change, and grow. Whether you have lifelong problems or perhaps more current issues you are dealing with, I believe there is always a path available for change. Each person is the best expert of their own lives and brings a unique set of strengths that often go untapped. With the proper identification of the problem, uncovering the root of destructive patterns of behavior & thought, plus insight and education, clients get “unstuck” and are able to move forward in their lives.

She has practiced in several settings including, outpatient, inpatient, community mental health, and residential treatment utilizing individual, family, and group therapy modalities. As a clinician, she focuses on collaborative and client centered treatment, as it allows for improvement in all facets of a client’s quality of life. Further, it fosters her ability to work holistically towards a client’s personal and family goals in unique and effective ways, as there is greater opportunity for therapeutic rapport and sense of personal control over challenges. She utilizes a cognitive behavioral approach, though has become more attune to hybrid interventions that best suit individual needs. She has been a Certified Brain Injury Specialist for several years and continues to strive towards serving this population.

For many folks, transitioning to college life feels difficult enough. But for those who are holding themselves together after trauma, struggling with chronic illness and mental health, or those who are first-generation students, the hurdles to being successful can feel insurmountable. As a therapist, I specialize in working with clients who identify as BIPOC, neurodiverse, or who are navigating chronic health conditions. My goal is to help clients recover from PTSD, set and maintain healthy boundaries, and navigate relationships in ways that set them free from people-pleasing. I have worked extensively with survivors of sexual assault and other forms of abuse. I work for Spring Forest Counseling, a group therapy practice located in Okemos, where I see clients in-person and virtually. I am trained in EMDR for PTSD, and also utilize IFS/parts work, mindfulness, and exposure therapy when relevant. My approach is direct, empowerment-based, and educational.

Hello, I'm Jarid, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor dedicated to guiding individuals through their unique journeys toward healing and growth. My desire to be a counselor stemmed from a longing to make a meaningful impact on people's lives. After years in the corporate world, I craved a career with purpose, one that allowed me to foster deep connections and witness transformation. What I love most about counseling is the opportunity to form authentic relationships with my clients. I'm honored to share in their growth and witness their lives transform into something fulfilling. My therapeutic approach is rooted in empathy, respect, and collaboration. I create a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences. I believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship and its potential for healing. I also value challenging my clients in a way that pushes them forward. I am not the kind of therapist to let you come in weekly and just maintain the status quo of your life. Together we will constantly push toward the change that you are looking for and the change that you need. The most rewarding moments in my practice are when clients experience empathy for themselves and their stories. This self-acceptance allows them to envision a clear path forward and embrace personal growth. My clients often tell me that their therapy experiences with me are unlike any other. They appreciate my deep engagement, presence, and understanding. I prioritize a collaborative, equal, and beneficial relationship with each client. My own mental and emotional well-being is a priority. I have my own therapist and apply my knowledge and experience to my life. I find joy in mindfulness practices, humor, and spending time with loved ones. Outside of counseling, I enjoy reading sci-fi and fantasy novels, playing video games, golfing, going to the movies, music, and spending time on the water. I created my own practice to have the freedom to meet my clients where they are and provide them with the best care possible. I value the autonomy to tailor my approach without external constraints. Thank you for considering me as your guide on your path to well-being. I look forward to supporting you through your journey.

It showed me that even in the midst of darkness, there's hope and room for joy. Now, I'm here to offer you that same support and guidance.

I'm here to listen, to understand, and to help you reclaim your life, step by step. Here's what you can expect from our time together: a safe, judgment-free space where you can share your story and explore your emotions. It's about building trust and working together towards your goals. From learning relaxation techniques to finding ways to silence negative thoughts, we'll tackle things at your pace. I will assign homework, teach you tools, tips, and skills. My goal is to empower you.Throughout our therapeutic journey, you can expect a professional and empathetic approach grounded in evidence-based techniques.

I believe that every person has the capacity to grow, develop strengths and skills, heal wounds, and experience new levels of wholeness. Therapy can be a catalyst for these changes; a place to be fully seen, known, and equipped. I work with women to uncover and correct unhelpful coping patterns and belief systems, create sustainable habits for mind-body-spirit wellness, establish healthy attachments in relationships, and foster a strong sense of resilience in the midst of challenges and traumas. My experience includes helping women navigate transitions and stressors related to college and post-college life, career goals or disappointments, work-life balance, identity and purpose, marriage and singleness, perinatal mood disorders, anxiety, and depression. Healing and hope occur in relationship; not isolation. Counseling is a safe space where you can share your burden with an empathetic helper attuned to your needs. I would be honored to hear your story and partner with you in your journey.
