Epilepsy therapy and Functional Seizures counseling online in Michigan
Therapy that supports the emotional challenges of living with seizures.
Are you spending more energy managing seizures than enjoying life?
Maybe you’ve had another seizure in front of someone or felt the guilt that can come with needing help while living with epilepsy or functional seizures. You may notice trouble finding words or forgetting important memories. Perhaps you’re feeling less independent, as though your freedom has quietly narrowed.
Whatever you’re experiencing, you may be noticing that it is spilling into nearly every part of your life:
Feeling anxious in public spaces or avoiding activities out of fear of having a seizure.
Feeling dependent on others for transportation, safety, or daily support
Grieving the loss of independence and freedom that seizures have changed.
Does this sound like you?
Pulling back from social plans because of unpredictability or fear of being a burden.
Wondering who you are now—and where you fit—while living with seizures.
Feeling embarrassed, exposed, or dependent when others have to step in to help.

FAQs
How can therapy help if I have Epilepsy, Functional Seizures or PNES?
Yes. Therapy does not replace medical care, but it can support emotional well-being alongside it. Many people with epilepsy or functional seizures benefit from therapy that understands the nervous system and the psychological impact of living with a seizure condition.
Is therapy helpful even if my seizures are medical or neurological?
Living with seizures affects more than physical health. Therapy supports the emotional impact of unpredictability, fear, loss of independence, and identity changes. It offers space to process these experiences while helping you feel steadier, more supported, and more connected to yourself.
What are Functional Seizures or Psychogenic Nonepileptic Seizures (PNES)?
Functional seizures—also called psychogenic nonepileptic seizures (PNES)—are real seizure events that are not caused by abnormal electrical activity in the brain. They are often connected to stress, trauma, or nervous system dysregulation. Therapy can be an important part of care and support.
Do you work with Epilepsy, Functional Seizures or Psychogenic Non epileptic Seizures (PNES)?
Yes. I provide mental health support for people living with epilepsy, functional seizures (PNES), and seizure-related conditions. Care is tailored to your experience and coordinated with medical treatment when appropriate.
