Grief Therapists in Clinton County, MI

Hello! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who works with adolescents, young adults, and adults from a trauma informed perspective to gain healing and wellness. My focus for providing quality care is to establish a safe space for clients to do their best work at learning self care, positive self image, and safe boundaries. I utilize an eclectic approach with clients, helping them pursue the right care for their needs.

ASK Counseling stands for Ask, Seek, and Knock. I can help you ask, seek, and knock to grow and flourish. If what you feel, see and do now in your life, family or marriage, is painful, call me. Together we can bring about change and growth.

Whether you’re feeling the pressure of juggling multiple roles, feeling the weight of all the demands and expectations, or trying to cope with depression, anxiety, low self worth, or a mood disorder, you don’t have to walk this path alone. Talking and making sense of your experiences can help you learn and understand more about yourself and what you need moving forward. Therapy is an educational tool and a safe outlet to help you gain clarity, insight, and awareness, and can help you adopt the skills necessary to overcome obstacles and improve your mental health.

Oh the healing power of therapy! I feel passionate that everyone has a unique life story, and that some of life's chapters deserve a closer look to bring about improved coping, healing, and positive change. My approach is eclectic and trauma informed. I draw upon reality theory and the study of behaviors and neurocognitive development. I use CBT, mindfulness, and other practices as appropriate. The goals of therapy and the techniques used are based on each client's individual needs. I am proud to be working with community agencies, corrections and families for over 15 years.

Do you feel like something needs to change in your life? Are you having a hard time sorting through your thoughts and feelings? Feeling a little lost? Processing your thoughts and emotions in therapy will feel like a weight has been lifted and you’ll begin to make connections about patterns in your life and learn skills to find fulfillment. My greatest joy as a therapist is helping clients feel empowered to make positive changes. Please feel free to call or email and let's schedule a time to talk for a few minutes.

I believe that everyone desires to live their best life. We all share the desire to be happy and content. I believe that the therapeutic process is collaborative and interactive. The process should also be relaxing and enjoyable...even when tackling difficult topics. I would like to help you to achieve whatever goals you have for yourself and help you to overcome the obstacles that are standing in your way. These obstacles can be depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, PTSD, and substance abuse... just to name a few. Let me help you work through those.

Everyone deserves a sense of control over their lives. When terrible things happen it can feel like the wind has been knocked out of you. The world feels unsafe. Feelings of deep sadness, fear, shame and a rawness seem to linger. Many people feel as though they are damaged goods and wonder if they will ever be themselves again, or if they will ever be happy again. Imagine what it will be like when you have more good days then bad, when you feel the laughter, when you hear your child start to sing again. In a relaxed, safe environment you will receive support, encouragement, and the skills you need to thrive not just survive.

My therapeutic approach is holistic in nature as it encompasses a full body aspect. Examining your mental, physical, emotional and spiritual state. This approach explores root issues and allows healing from the inside out. I seek to empower my clients to find their voice and inner strength that may have been squelched by past abuse and trauma. I have experience with several mental health issues, and I am deeply passionate about helping my clients become emotionally and relationally whole whether it be individually, maritally or in their families. My approach is to adjust the therapy to fit the client.

Accepting new clients! I specialize in providing care for individuals dealing with trauma, loss, anxiety disorders, depression and spirituality. I use a cognitive behavioral approach that is easy going and relaxed. I like to incorporate mindfulness practices and breathing techniques that are easy to use. I am very excited to be able to work with you and look forward to assisting you to becoming the best you possible!

Feeling overwhelmed by life? I specialize in working with sensitive women and young adults who are struggling with over thinking, self doubt, constant worry about what others think and feel, who feel drained, unfulfilled, and out of control and want to reclaim their sanity, feel empowered, engaged and satisfied in life, so they’re looking for a therapist who sees their whole self, gives them tools to find calm, balance, and clarity, and truly believes in their ability to change and create the life they desire. Tired of struggling alone? I'm ready to join with you to create lasting transformation. I see clients online in CA and MI.

I believe that clients know themselves the best and I'm here to guide them to reach their fullest potential.

I enjoy working with individuals who have a limited awareness about the conflicts within them that interfere with their ability to be happy. I have been successful in helping those who struggle in their interpersonal relationships whether it be: work, marriage, partnerships, or friendships. I work well with adults who are motivated to learn the unconscious reasons for their current struggles. I am aware that the earliest relationships which we were exposed too, influenced the ways we relate to one another. When we learn healthier ways of being with one another, we will feel more satisfied in our relationships.

Do you struggle with low self-esteem? Are you anxious about what others think? Is stress hard for you to manage? Do you want to improve your relationships? These are just a few examples of obstacles that I am passionate about helping others to overcome. I am dedicated to helping others grow into strong, compassionate, and empowered people.
