Counseling Services for Michigan Residents

Culture affects all of us, even if we don’t always notice it. It influences what we believe, how we think we’re supposed to act, and the three main domains of relationships in our life: 1) relationship with ourselves; 2) relationship with others; and 3) relationship with the world around us. Oftentimes, these cultural influences can compete with our sense of authenticity, disrupt our sense of connection, and leave us feeling overwhelmed.

But just because we might feel disconnected, unfulfilled, or uncertain, doesn’t mean we will be stuck like that forever. Who you are isn’t locked in—you have the capacity to grow, change, and figure yourself out along the way.

Our work together can be a powerful space to explore the messages you’ve picked up from your culture, family, religion, and society and to ask yourself: Is this really me? Am I just following someone else’s expectations?  Or is it a mixture of both? 

In our work together, you get to take back control of your story. You can challenge the expectations that have held you back and build a version of yourself that feels real and empowered. And when that inner shift happens, it doesn’t just stay inside—it shows up in your relationships, your goals, and how you move through your life. Therapy isn’t just about dealing with the past—it’s about creating a future that actually feels like yours.

Working from a relational-cultural lens, I tend to encourage the exploration of current and past relationships within the larger cultural context (ex., family, societal, political, religious/spiritual) through an integrative framework tailored to each person. The relationship we build in the therapy space is a large part of the therapeutic process. I use an integrative approach including aspects of Gestalt, Narrative, Psychodynamic, Mindfulness, and Trauma-Informed Care.

Counseling can be more than just talk therapy. As a board-certified music therapist, I find Music Therapy and creative-based experiences can be helpful modalities when navigating issues that are challenging to process or when seeking additional coping strategies. 

For those more familiar with in-person care, telehealth/virtual therapy can seem foreign and bring uncertainty about the therapeutic experience including an important question: “Does it work?” As in-person and telehealth do offer a different “feel” respectively, research continues to validate the satisfaction, efficacy, and longevity of usage by clients of telehealth therapy services (Waite et al., 2022).
