ADHD therapists and psychiatrists in Lansing, MI

I have been doing this work since 2009 — which means I have sat with a lot of people through a lot of different kinds of hard. I hold a Master's degree in Counseling with a dual focus in professional counseling and marriage and family therapy, and my career has moved through two distinct chapters that have shaped how I practice. The first half was spent in the world of substance use — working with individuals and families where the stakes were high and the complexity was real. The last several years have been in private practice, where I've worked with the full range of human struggle: depression, anxiety, ADHD, PTSD, substance use disorders, parenting stress, and the disorienting moments when life shifts beneath your feet. I work with individuals, couples, and groups. Very few things surprise me at this point — and that's exactly what makes this work feel safe.

I am a calm, welcoming social worker that strives to create a space for all of my clients to find their true selves and create a life that works best for them

I graduated with my Master’s degree in Social Work from the University of Akron in 2011 specializing in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and interpersonal relationships. Since that time I have worked in a variety of fields including community mental health services, foster care and adoption and in the schools. I am currently in my 5th year as a School Social Worker, where I service students Kindergarten through 12th grade. Starr Commonwealth Children of Trauma and Resilience Certification, a TRAILs School Partner that supports students with anxiety and depression, and IRRP Certified in Restorative Practices. I am experienced in Individual Education Plans, 504s as well as School Positive Behavior Intervention Plans to best support students with Autism, ADHD, Anxiety, Depression, and a variety of medical and behavioral needs.

I currently reside in Northeast Michigan along the beautiful Lake Huron and have a license to practice in Michigan. I am passionate about supporting individuals on their journey toward self-understanding and an overall well-being. As a clinician, I believe in creating a safe, compassionate space where you feel heard and understood.
