I’m Essence Uke.  I earned my Master’s in Social Work at the University of Michigan. I decided to embark on the journey of training to become a clinical therapist after my own life-changing experience with using services to cope with the untimely deaths of both of my parents.

My ideal client is someone facing challenges in their everyday life. They may be dealing with overwhelming debt, struggling to make sound financial decisions, or experiencing anxiety and conflict around money. Alternatively, they might be navigating the difficult journey of grief after losing a loved one, or they may be dealing with the long-lasting impacts of some other challenge. These clients need a safe, non-judgmental space to explore their feelings and experiences. They require practical tools and strategies to manage their emotions and make positive changes in their lives.

With my specialized training and compassionate approach, I am dedicated to helping you navigate life's challenges and achieve your goals. Whatever you're dealing with, I am here to support you every step of the way. Together, we can work towards a healthier, more fulfilling future.

I believe in the power of therapy to foster personal growth, cultivate resilience, and enhance overall well-being. By providing a warm and empathetic therapeutic environment, I aim to help individuals tap into their inner strengths and resources to overcome challenges, build healthier relationships, and live more authentically.
