Therapists in Canton, MI

Therapy is a process of self-discovery. Often, I have found that clients who present for therapy may identify experiences of depression or anxiety that are secondary to trauma exposure in their childhood or recent history. Moreover, clients often have challenges in their relationships with others which stem from their relationship with self, and from early childhood experiences in their family of origin. These challenges can manifest in many areas.

As a psychotherapist I have worked with students of all ages, grades 6-12 for quite some time and I have broadened my horizons to provide support to adults who seek change and stability in their lives. My only goal is to provide my clients a safe haven, a place where they can feel comfortable enough to disclose their personal issues. Therapy is a place where my clients can trust me enough to provide them with the courage, guidance, and support they need to begin to learn how to battle their struggles with ease.

I aim to provide a safe space that fosters healing and growth for people of all backgrounds and ages. During our sessions I will prompt self-reflection, as well as encourage setting and maintaining healthy boundaries. I value a holistic approach, which considers your mental, physical, emotional and (if applicable) spiritual well-being. I will assist you in discovering what is important for your individual sessions, and let you explore and communicate your needs.

Strength is recognizing that you can't do it alone. My main goal as a therapist is to provide a safe, open, and nonjudgmental space that focuses on each individual's life experiences while maintaining the personal beliefs/values of the client to encourage growth and strength. I value the connections my clients create with me as their therapist; creating a connection with your therapist is important to the therapeutic process and will be the driving force of each therapy session. I work with clients collaboratively to explore their thoughts, feelings, hopes, and obstacles to create goals reflecting their desires for therapy.

I am accepting clients for mornings and early afternoon! I specialize in a number of different areas such as, but not limited to: grief and loss, trauma, abusive and non-abusive relationships, family issues, life transitions and daily struggles. I work with individuals and couples who are ready to work on bettering themselves and their relationships. I am here to support and provide you with the proper knowledge and tools to help you achieve your goals! There is no need to filter yourself, if you need to cry, cry. If you need to laugh or joke about something, please do, especially if that's the way you communicate, just be yourself!

Are you or members of your family struggling with relationships or communication? Do you or someone in your family have trauma-based needs? I've worked exclusively with families and children since 2019. I help my clients understand why they respond the way they do, and how to respond differently. I specialize in trauma, and trauma-based patterns. I'm also comfortable working with people who are neurodivergent. Single parent struggle? I can help with that too! I've helped adults and children with self-harm behaviors, suicidal ideation, anxiety, anger, and other emotional, relational, and behavioral issues.

It can be hard to keep going when you feel stuck in your life, whether it is a relationship, a job, or simply not knowing what to do with the thoughts and feelings that come into your head. You may find it hard to get through your day: losing efficiency at work, finding it difficult to sleep or relax, pushing loved ones away, or just daydreaming when there are things that you need to do. Sometimes the pressure is too much and you might be tempted to turn to alcohol, food, television, gaming, or some other way to feel and connect with someone or something. Or, perhaps, you simply just checked out.

I am accepting new clients for both in-person and online. For in person sessions I only have morning availability currently. I have afternoon appointments available on Thursdays for virtual sessions only. Please email me to schedule! Beginning therapy can be scary and I am here to help guide and support you through this journey.

I want to help you to break out of any negative patterns that interfere with your life. These patterns can be as simple as procrastinating at school, work or at home. They could be more serious, such as anxiety, problematic relationships or addictions. The focus of our work can be any pattern which makes it difficult for you to meet your responsibilities, which are painful or which cause you to miss the joy in life. I believe that you possess the innate qualities necessary to ease your suffering and to heal.

Since you are here, you are probably at your breaking point. I see you, and I would love to help you. Whether you struggle with individual issues, family problems, or relationship situations, together we will find a way to deal with it. Your needs will always be my top priority and I will be in your corner, putting you first at all times. Counseling helped me during a time when I was very vulnerable and lost. That's when I knew, that being a counselor was exactly what I wanted to do. I want to be there to support people. Being a therapist is not my job, it's my calling.

My primary goal as an effective clinician is to work with compassion and drive to help individuals find solutions to life’s struggles while improving their interpersonal relationships and encouraging self-actualization. As a master’s level clinician, I work in a private practice where I specialize in trauma, anxiety, and depression.

Do you or someone you care about feel there needs to be a change in the direction of their life? Whether a change in behaviors, perspectives, feelings and/or emotions in children, adolescents or adults, I can help discover, in a collaborative process, what may be the source of distress. We can then work together to achieve your goals. I can provide guidance and feedback on how best to manage your life-stressors in a practical, non-judgmental manner.

Peace. I know how important it is to create a safe space for you to talk about your struggles. Whether the discussion is about your sexuality, especially if you are part of the LGBTQ+ community, your mood, your past including traumatic experiences and upcoming life transitions, therapy and the process of collaborative learning about you is my goal. My work experiences in hospital settings, college counseling settings, community mental health and private practice in both Saudi Arabia and the U.S. have taught me to integrate what I have learned about education, advocacy, and treatment into my therapeutic approach.

Life is a rollercoaster, and sometimes the ride can get pretty bumpy, but that doesn't mean you've gotta ride alone. If you're reading this, it's probably because something led you here. Maybe you're going through a recent loss, a tough breakup, or a big life adjustment. Maybe you're having trouble focusing or experiencing feelings of depression, shame, guilt anxiety, and/or a shift in your mood or behavior. No matter what the rollercoaster's bumps may look like in this season of your life, we'll work on those tracks and make the tweaks needed for a smoother ride. :)
