Therapists in Ahmeek, MI

Hello! You have taken time out of your life for yourself. Deciding to work with a counselor is a brave step. Its also an exciting step. What insight, freedom, wisdom and partnership may you find? Lets find out together! I have a masters in counseling and am a licensed counselor in the state of Michigan. I have practiced counseling in various ways the past 15 years. I passionately love people! I love to encourage, provide insight and come alongside people as they pursue their dreams and goals for their personal lives whether it is mental health, grief, emotional issues causing physical health problems, and relationship difficulties. I really enjoy working with survivors of domestic violence which can include physical, verbal, financial, spiritual, psychological abuse. I also have a great passion for single parents.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker ( LCSW) and have worked in multiple settings, advocating, coaching and providing guidance for individuals with concerns including anxiety, stress, depression, isolation/loneliness, grief, loss, bereavement, end of life / hospice, compassion fatigue, forgiveness, self care, self esteem, life purpose and coping with life changes. I have worked with individuals at different stages of Cancer survivorship and end of life. I strive to make the therapy experience genuine, positive, respectful and safe. My communication style is warm, kind and engaging. I do not believe in using stigmatizing labels. Although I am not an expert in LBGTQ+ issues/experience yet, I am educated and my practice approach is LBGTQ+ affirming, respectfully. My therapeutic approach is solution focused, client centered and strength based drawing heavily from cognitive behavioral and humanistic therapies. I believe human beings have the amazing capacity to self heal, inspire, empower, learn from others but most vastly learn from our own struggles, challenges and triumphs. Therapy is a process that can help you discover the lesson or silver lining your problem has presented to you. Therapy can also help you discover new and better ways of thinking and coping with challenges you face. Each of us has unique gifts that if discovered and embraced can help guide us to a more peaceful, joyful and fulfilling life. I applaud you in reaching out and taking the first steps toward seeking a happier life.
