Meet Brie: A Compassionate Counselor-in-Training Empowering Young Minds!

Hello, I'm Brie, a dedicated counselor-in-training with a passion for connecting with younger children, adolescents, and their caregivers. With a passion for supporting young minds, I specialize in creating a safe and nurturing environment for individuals in need of therapeutic care.

Professional Focus:

At the heart of my practice lies a commitment to fostering growth, resilience, and overall well-being. My areas of interest and specialization include emotional and behavioral regulation, anxiety, and trauma therapy. I tailor my approach to the unique needs of each individual. My mission is to empower children and families by providing tools and strategies to navigate challenges and promote healthy communication. I strongly believe in building strong partnerships with parents to create a supportive foundation for their children's growth.

Therapeutic Approaches:

I use a range of therapeutic approaches, including:

• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): Guiding individuals toward accepting their emotions and committing to actions aligned with their values.

• Person-Centered Therapy: Creating a safe space for self-exploration, where clients are seen as experts in their own experiences.

• Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Addressing thought patterns for positive behavioral changes.

• Mindfulness: Encouraging a present-moment focus to enhance self-awareness and emotional regulation.

Empowerment Philosophy:

I strongly believe in empowering my clients to recognize their expertise. In every session, my goal is to encourage them to take ownership of their feelings, fostering authenticity and self-discovery. Together, we embark on a journey where individuals learn to embrace their unique strengths.

About Me:

Outside of my counseling practice, I am deeply passionate about the arts, crafting, and exploring Michigan’s communities. I find inspiration in the vibrant tapestry of Michigan's communities, and I actively seek opportunities to contribute positively.

Experience and Qualifications:

With a background in working with diverse youth populations, including girl shelters, foster care, and teaching, I bring a wealth of experience to my counseling practice. I am enthusiastic about contributing to the well-being and future success of every child I work with.

Let's Navigate this Journey Together:

If you're a parent seeking compassionate and effective therapy services for your child, I am here to offer support. Together, we can foster emotional well-being, resilience, and positive growth in a nurturing therapeutic environment.
