Self Esteem Therapists in Almont, MI

My mission is to create an environment for my clients that foster growth and understanding of themselves. Since individuals and their problems are unique and diverse, the interventions and approaches designed to address them should be equally unique. I utilize an eclectic approach with an emphasis on cognitive behavioral techniques, transformational psychology, and solution focused to help my clients achieve their goals and overcome their issues.

I am incredibly passionate about helping others better understand themselves and get to the root of their issues. I'll provide a safe environment where you can explore your inner world with the intention of developing insight, understanding your needs, and meeting your goals. I specialize in helping adults address their childhood trauma and reduce their trauma reactions. Other issues I am experienced with includes: PTSD, C-PTSD, depression, anxiety, ADHD, attachment trauma, sexual assault + abuse, domestic violence, sex trafficking, grief + loss, relationship difficulties, life-transitions, low self-esteem, + personal growth.

I am a fully licensed professional counselor who specializes in areas related to child and adolescent issues, emerging adults (18-35), and parenting support. My approach is strength-based and client-centered. I enjoy listening and providing support to my client's, helping them adapt new styles of thinking, develop healthy coping skills, gain effective problem-solving strategies, achieve new goals and encouraging them to become the best version of themselves.

Seeking therapy can be a vulnerable and courageous step in accepting that anxiousness, depression, strained relationships, or life situations have gotten in the way of living your best life.

The therapeutic process is meant to be collaborative and engaging. My primary goal is to provide a safe and open environment for you to feel empowered to overcome the struggles you are encountering.

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 vision began several years ago when I realized that most counseling agencies tend to concentrate on only one aspect of wellbeing, "Mental Health". Many people seeking whole body wellness are forced to travel to multiple providers to gain the full experience. Why not have one agency that meets the multiple aspect in achieving the "Whole Body Wellness" concept? I truly believe that maximizing personal wellbeing is dependent on the emotional, physical and spiritual health of every individual. I am proud to provide the surrounding community with a comprehensive clinic that addresses whole body wellness!"

I implement a straight- forward holistic approach to care, while maintaining a nurturing, non-judgmental, and empathetic therapeutic environment.

I'm a psychotherapist with a passion for helping people change their lives. I'm an author and podcaster. I specialize in anxiety, depression, addiction, menopause, family, women's issues, and weight loss. I myself have been in recovery for over 21 years from alcohol. I help people with the goal of living happy fulfilling lives. I believe that everyone deserves happiness and that laughter is a great healer. I'm spiritual, I practice meditation and exercise daily. I feel animals are beneficial to healing all people. I was in the addiction field for many years specializing in opiate dependency.

Through therapy, clients can explore both internal and external factors that can then lead to finding solutions for their concerns.

**Best reached by email**It has been some time now that things have not been feeling "right." Your relationship is not as fulfilling as you want it to be. Things feel off or disconnected. Maybe someone you love has died and it still hurts everyday just as it did the day you lost them. Maybe you have been holding onto something tragic; something you have never told anyone. Sometimes we are not really sure what it is that is troubling us, but we know we cannot keep living life feeling the way we do. We just want to feel better. We want to feel like our old selves again.

It is my greatest joy to work with clients to help them grow and change. Life can and does gives us many challenges. Finding ways to deal with the feelings that surround these events is important for peace and happiness. I am a kind, caring, active listener who will walk with you through your most difficult moments.
