Our counselors provide therapy in West Bloomfield, MI

My practice provides a warm, compassionate, and trusting environment, always keeping in mind that while two clients can come into therapy with the same problem, everyone is unique and the treatment approach will be tailored to them as an individual. Building trust and respect between the therapist and the client is essential for achieving positive outcomes in therapy. My focus is to work with my clients to identify and help change the aspects of their lives that may be contributing to the challenges you are facing. I am a firm believer that strengthening the physical as well as the emotional components of our lives will help create that healthy balance to face any adverse life events that we are presented with.

I utilize a collaborative, strength-based, person-centered approach, utilizing cognitive therapy as well as solution-focused techniques, making sure to meet the specific needs of each client. All of the therapeutic modalities are evidence-based, and I make sure I am utilizing the most effective and successful techniques to meet my client's needs

It is always rewarding to see when my clients are making progress in therapy. They exhibit a stronger sense of self, improved self-esteem and self-worth, and are more engaged in a healthier lifestyle, both physically and mentally. As a therapist, hearing positive feedback on their progress toward meeting their treatment goals is key in measuring successful outcomes. Clients will often report an increase in social interactions, improved sleep and energy, better job performance, and an overall sense of well-being.

As a therapist, I always encourage my clients to get involved in an activity that brings them happiness and fulfillment. I encourage them to remain active both physically and mentally, as well as get engaged in a hobby or a passion that they have or have always had and have not felt emotionally strong enough to pursue. I encourage patients to increase their socialization with friends and family and find new and exciting activities that they have an interest in.

As a therapist, I always tell my clients that coming to therapy is a gift they give themselves. I emphasize the safe, trusting, non-judgmental environment of the therapeutic process so they can feel a sense of comfort when they make the decision to start. I encourage my clients to write down any questions they may have prior to the first session and make note of the presenting problems and concerns that they bring to the first session.
