Therapists in Monroe, MI

Counseling is a process by which we work together to identify and work on any issues you bring to your session. My approach to counseling involves helping you to identify strengths within yourself and develop self-awareness. Counseling is a joint effort which cannot be successful without hard work, energy and courage. Counseling provides a safe place to explore reactions, thoughts and feelings about people in your life as well as yourself.

I incorporate an eclectic approach to my therapeutic practice which combines both social work and art therapy techniques. I utilize a combination of several treatment modalities including, positive art therapy, cognitive-behavioral, strengths-based systems, and a person-center approach. I look for the strengths in my clients and help them understand how their situation can be influenced by a number of factors including their thoughts, emotions, social interactions, and environment. I assist them in recognizing their internal strengths and how those positive traits can be used to improve their situations.
