It was an honor to talk with James on the Manistee Local Podcast. James described this episode as being difficult for him because he wasn’t sure how deep he wanted to go. I think many of us, especially those coming into a counseling session, can relate to the feeling of discomfort when sharing something personal. I appreciate James and his willingness to be honest and vulnerable. I have no doubt that he has inspired others in their courage to do the same.

Celebrating 8 years in private practice today! For those of you who don’t know my story, I started this practice on the heels of grief, breast cancer treatment, and losing my job. Within months of opening, both my partner and my father passed away unexpectedly. There are times in our lives when it can feel like hope is lost and when the emotions get so heavy we never think we’ll feel anything different. Everyone has a story and everyone’s story is unique. When you can feel and understand the emotions of the person within their story, that is empathy. Empathy builds connection and both have built this practice. From there, healing begins and transformation occurs. The first step in any of that is the willingness for someone to share their story. Today, as I celebrate 8 years of doing what I passionately love, I express my gratitude to everyone I have served for sharing their stories with me.

Insurance certainly has its benefits. However, in my experience as a mental health therapist and medical biller in both private practice and community agencies, I have also learned the downside of using insurance for mental health care. I value educating others and allowing them to make the choice that best suits their needs.

Surrendering to what is takes the suffering out of trying to control.

Your body usually tells you. No need to ignore it…it’s not likely to go away on its own.

If you can’t find it there, more compassion for you may be needed.
