About My Clients
At Michigan Safe Space, we strive to make quality, evidence-based, trauma-informed mental health services available to all members of our community. Supporting diversity and inclusivity are core values. As part of this mission, our therapists are committed to the principles of gay and LGBTQ affirmative therapy and we strive to empower those who are marginalized and oppressed.
My Background and Approach
LBGTQIA+ Mental Health: We Welcome All. We welcome you. We will welcome you regardless of your present status; anxious, sad, angry, lonely, happy, questioning, depressed, lost or otherwise. We will welcome you regardless of your current family situation, relationship or marital status or lack thereof. We will welcome you if you have been to therapy in the past, are looking to come in for the first time, or have no idea what to expect. We will not judge you based upon your personal history, age, race, ethnic background, appearance, sexual orientation or gender identity. We welcome all beliefs, religions, spirituality, and affiliations. We welcome you whether you are disabled or neurodivergent. We welcome children, even when they act like children. We welcome adults, families, couples, and we welcome you. We welcome your tears, your laughter, your thoughts, your moods, your journey, and your story. We are all in this together, trying to find our way. All are welcome. You are welcome.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
At Michigan Safe Space we are Social Justice minded and focused on client empowerment, helping build skills and resilience through non-judgmental, compassionate, accepting, informed, and warm therapeutic approaches. We are focused on acceptance and affirmation of client stories and experiences. We celebrate Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging. We strive to be mindful of your unique experiences and do not make assumptions based on your affiliation with any group. We take an intersectional approach with all clients and use a non-pathological framework to view the client experience and are mindful of the historical context of queer identities in the counseling space.
