Culturally Sensitive Therapists in Brighton, MI

I love making a real connection in sessions, and creating space for laughter, tears, playfulness, frustration – however you feel in that moment is how I’d like to invite you to be. A time to put down the masks we wear around others and find a place of comfort and growth that is, most importantly, free from judgment or stigma. I’m flexible in my therapeutic approach and listen carefully when you tell me what you need – from a place to privately vent and process life’s stressors, to professional insight regarding areas of distress, to concrete, actionable skills and plans to address your concerns.

Hi, I’m Ashley! My goal as a therapist is to help you find balance and personal growth in your healing journey from a holistic and strength-based perspective. I believe that each client is the expert of their own life, experiences, and needs. It is a priority to me to create a space for clients to feel empowered to share their story, discover their strengths, and make positive and meaningful changes in their lives. I provide non-judgmental and empathic counseling services to help you through the process of change. It is important to me that you feel safe and supported.

It can be easy to talk about the joys of parenting- the times you feel fulfilled when everyone is smiling for the family photo. Sometimes it's more difficult to talk about the stresses of parenting- the exhaustion, unmet expectations, struggling to connect with your child, or being reminded of painful experiences when looking at your baby. Sometimes it can be hard to understand how children communicate or what their cues mean. Some parents find it challenging to fully see their child for who they are due to their own unmet needs or unprocessed trauma. I'd love to partner with you in meeting both your own and your child's needs.

Ananda is a Sanskrit word for divine joy or bliss. We come to our divine joy by focusing on ourselves as whole and complete, curious, and without judgment. For nearly all of my career, I have assisted individuals in recovery from homelessness, substance use, and mental health concerns. My work initially focused on facilitating community reconnection or building connections to external sources. When I completed yoga teacher training in 2016, I realized that in order for one to fully integrate back into the community, they have to be right with the community inside themselves. We can work together to uncover your true self.
