Priority Health Therapists in Mount Clemens, MI

Accepting New Child and teenage clients! I am a licensed professional counselor and art therapist. I have dedicated my career to helping traumatized children, teens and their families heal through art therapy and counseling. I have worked in various environments, from home-based work to outpatient (office) settings in counseling. If you or someone you know has a child or teenager that is struggling with mental illness and trauma, send them my way! I am confident that my eclectic approach to counseling and art therapy will help you and your children heal and grow throughout life's journey.

I believe one of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story. As a woman, you may be often seen as "Super Woman", where you can do it all and be it all, while putting others and their needs before your own. But the truth is, you are human. You may be feeling overwhelmed, depressed, or anxious or maybe you are struggling with finding balance in your life.

My goal is to provide a supportive atmosphere to help assist in navigating and enhancing your ability to overcome problems, strengthen your relationships, build confidence, and develop a healthy sense of self. Therapy is not a one size fits all and I believe treatment should be individualized based on the client. The therapy approaches that I frequently use are Person-Centered, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, and Strength Based.

Struggling with your mental health can feel overwhelming sometimes you don't know where to begin. I can help you tackle these challenges and move forward. I will access where you are at in your journey so we can find the best approaches and treatment that you feel comfortable with.

If you're the person laying in bed, thinking about all the mistakes you made or worrying about what people thought of you all day, and it feels like a car is sitting on your chest, I get it. Do you constantly fear what other people think about you? Worry about conversations and replay them with all your mistakes living rent free in your head? What if it didn't have to be that way? How amazing would it be to go to bed and actually sleep- To feel refreshed and happy each day? Wouldn't it be great to have energy and be able to get things done for once instead of constantly feeling stuck? Through therapy, I can help you.

Sometimes when you feel broken, you need the help of another to rebuild. But where do you start when you’re seeking a therapist who is empathetic and experienced, supportive and compassionate? As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 15 years experience, I promise I am here to offer you a hand, not a judgment. Almost two decades, I have worked with individuals, couples and families specializing in depression, anxiety, grief/loss, bereavement, body image, caregiver stress, family issues, relationship struggles and adjustment disorders/life transitions.

You'll find ways to improve and enhance your personal relationships. You'll set goals, describe your desired outcome, and discover your role in making those changes. You'll identify new approaches and strategies you may have overlooked. We welcome the opportunity to help you rediscover and rekindle the relationship you desire. "Refreshing relationships through Christ-centered professional counseling."

Enduring the difficult times in our lives can be daunting, unless we have the proper support. Acknowledging the need for help and seeking assistance is the first step, and it must be recognized that this takes courage. In my office, I work to provide a safe, comfortable, judgement-free setting for children, individuals, couples and families to work through life's issues. My focus is on helping people overcome the challenges they are facing through a variety of therapeutic interventions. I will work to understand you and your needs in order to provide the best therapy possible.

I believe in working together towards the same goal, and that you are the expert at your own life. I understand that sometimes, we can lose ourselves in the midst of trauma and difficulties, & I want to help you along the path that you strive to be on. My experience is in working with depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, loss, and family issues. My approach to therapy is to provide a safe environment that promotes self-sufficiency and resiliency to overcome the challenges in life that we can endure. I believe in providing you with the tools to support your autonomy to continue your path to healing.

Are you someone who is seeking guidance, assistance, or just an outlet as you go through life transitions? Whether that means navigating a new relationship, choosing a school or career, dealing with a break-up/divorce, family planning, or just managing life in general, it's important to explore past issues that may have led to current patterns in mood, thought, relationships or just general functioning. I would love to help you build skills in managing stress, as well as effective communication, and believe that the therapeutic relationship we build together is especially important in building the confidence to make these changes.

I am excited that you have decided to begin your Self Care Journey and/or work towards Strengthening your Relationships. Today is the perfect day to take control of your life.
