Motivational Interviewing Therapists in West Bloomfield, MI

I enjoy working with individuals of different ages, ethnicity, in need of individual, couples or family sessions. I believe that life is a journey, which at times, can be very challenging. Sometimes we find ourselves at a crossroads, trying to decide our direction. Staying on familiar paths can be easier yet repetitive and stagnant. Growth means change and following new paths, though unfamiliar and with unseen risks. Therapy can help one believe in themselves and try new paths, with the therapist lighting the way.

Clients wanting change, a non-judgmental listening ear, encouragement, and for tools to improve their personal life situation are welcome. Whether you have lost yourself, are uncertain about the future, unsettled due to life challenges, depressed, anxious, using drugs/alcohol to cope,relationship/parenting troubles, or have a child with behavioral issues, you have taken the first step towards getting help. We will explore what changes or improvements you are looking for and you will learn more about yourself or your child and will have strategies that will assist you in creating a better future.

Mental health is often overlooked or treated as a shameful part of the human experience. I would like to offer clients a safe space to share, open up, and work on growing. Realizing that thoughts are not facts and focusing on the here and now. Reaching out for help is the 1st step, and one to be admired. I can help by getting to the root of the issue. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in my work with clients. CBT focuses on how thoughts and emotions affect behavior. I can get to the root of the issue and develop a relationship with my client to establish trust.
