MA, LLC

Annette has a Masters degree in School Counseling from the University of Denver. She received  a Bachelors degree in Psychology from Rochester University. She is currently a Limited License  Counselor (LLC) who is working towards her Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). She has  worked with children and adolescents in the school and clinical setting who struggle with self confidence, grief, loss, trauma, anxiety, depression and social perceptions. She also has worked  with children who have autism in an Applied Behavior Analysis setting. She has worked for five  school districts in Michigan, including virtual, elementary, middle, and high school settings. 

Annette believes that counseling is a process where trust is built, allowing a connection that  facilitates deep and meaningful conversations. Those conversations lead to the possibility of  healing and a renewed sense of peace as you begin to believe in yourself and embrace new  possibilities.  

Annette uses a person-centered approach, where she will help you to find meaning in your  experiences. This will allow you to work toward personal growth by resolving issues that hinder  you. The goal with this approach is to align your self-worth, self-image, and your ideal self.  

Annette also uses a cognitive-behavioral approach, where she will challenge and guide you to  reorganize irrational thoughts and beliefs into rational, realistic, life-enhancing thoughts and  beliefs. She believes that clients and therapists can work together to create goals that include  unconditional acceptance of self by developing new cognitive and behavioral skills. 

Annette is looking forward to being a part of your journey toward healing!
