More about Norma

  • 41 years' experience
  • Female
  • LMSW, LCSW

I am a licensed psychotherapist in the states of Michigan and Maine and have worked as a counselor and life coach with individuals and families for over 30 years. My focus is on helping clients achieve satisfying relationships and greater joy in their lives regardless of what their experiences may have been in the past. I use an eclectic approach to therapy seeking to find and utilize the methods that are most comfortable and helpful to you. In addition to traditional modalities (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Psycho Dynamic, Humanistic, etc.), I have extensive experience working with EFT (tapping) , Solution Focused Brief Therapy, and Internal Family Systems. If you prefer a more traditional approach, that is what we will pursue, and if you are familiar with and interested in more energy based counseling that is available as well.

It is of utmost importance to me that you feel valued and respected as an individual as you pursue the life that you want to live.

Please note that I do not list all my availability on the online calendar, so if you try to schedule an appointment with me and don't see a suitable time, please let me know your schedule and I am confident that we can find a slot that will work for both of us.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Norma has changed my life. My perception of my self, my trauma, and the root cause of my struggle. She’s warm and authentic, but practical and pragmatic about her advice. It’s actionable. If you apply it, it creates change. And I’m happier and more in control of myself and my life than ever before. I finally feel like I understand me.

From our initial conversations, Norma immediately began to hone in on what I was dealing with and helped identify the larger issues at play. While still early, I do believe that working with Norma has started me on the path of transformation in my life that I have wanted for myself for a long time.

Norma has proven to be a positive influence in my life. She has helped me to identify behaviour patterns, deal with emotions, self-esteem and perception. I would highly recommend her as a therapist.

Norma is wonderful. She is just what I needed. She is understanding and supportive of how I’m feeling, helps me accept where I am at fault and is helping me figure out what is right for me.

Reviewed March 2021

Norma was so great at helping me see things from a different perspective! When you’re in your own head all the time like me, you overthink things and your opinions and judgements about yourself and the world can get constantly reenforced. Even over just the first session I had with Norma, some negative things I assumed to be true about my life, turned out not to be and that freed me up to see things in a new light. It is clear that Norma is an expert in this field and she helped me immensely! Would highly recommend Norma as a counselor to anyone struggling with finding positivity in their life, anyone looking for help seeing things in a new way, or for anyone looking for a great person to chat with who cares deeply!
