Couples therapists in Lansing, MI

I have worked as Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) for over 8 years in a variety of settings ranging from trauma, impact of addictions on mental and emotional wellbeing, to relationship issues and more. I tend to be laid back and easily approached with no judgement, no criticism and no assumptions.

Clients should know that I bring warmth, empathy, and a genuine commitment to their growth. I create a safe and supportive environment where their voices are valued, and their goals are prioritized. With encouragement and guidance, I help clients navigate challenges and celebrate meaningful progress along their journey.

Some of my background...

After raising a blended family, I decided to go back to school and change careers. Therapy lets me combine two of my lifelong passions: helping others succeed and horses. I now divide my time fairly evenly between working with horses and providing therapy.

I graduated from Oakland University in 2021 with a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I worked with a non-profit group for a year before starting my practice in 2022.

I obtained by master's degree in 2023 from the Chicago School of Professional Psychology. I have experience working with diverse populations, including individuals managing anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. I specialize in trauma therapy, PTSD treatment, anxiety and OCD treatment, and substance use/addiction. I have additional experience working with survivors of domestic/intimate partner violence and human trafficking. I have recently obtained my credential as a Certified Trauma Professional (CTP).

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Mississippi and the state of Michigan.

I received my bachelor’s degree from the University of Mississippi (Hotty Toddy!) and my Master of Arts in Counseling from Reformed Theological Seminary. Before moving to Jackson, Miss. for graduate school, I worked with Cru (a campus ministry) for three years on the Ole Miss campus.

While living in Oxford, I also worked as the Administrative Assistant at Grace Bible Church of Oxford for two years.

Through receiving counseling in my own life, my desire grew to sit with and serve those experiencing darkness, hardship, or hurt in their own life. I want to utilize my life experience and education to walk alongside my clients as they uncover and develop their own internal resources.

With seven years of experience, I offer a compassionate but direct approach to therapy. I’m here to challenge, empower, and support you—especially when you're feeling stuck or overwhelmed. Together, we’ll focus on real progress in your life and relationships, with clarity, courage, and intention.

Hello, and welcome.

I am a dedicated mental health professional with 18 years of experiencing working with teens, adults, and families. I am committed to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with clarity, resilience, and confidence. I specialize in processing childhood trauma and clearing limiting beliefs.

I have 16 years experience as a clinical psychologist, with 8 years experience providing tele-mental health services. I earned my PhD in 2010 from the University of Wyoming. I completed pre-doctoral internship in 2010 and post-doctoral residency in 2011 within the Department of Veterans Affairs, with a Trauma/PTSD specialty. I have been fully and independently licensed since 2012, with expertise providing evidence based care for a variety of mental health conditions.

Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a Master of Social Work that is passionate about supporting women and teens who have not felt like themselves or have not found their voice within due to trauma, depression, anxiety, family and relationship issues, and life stressors. I believe that healing begins in a space where you feel heard, understood, and genuinely supported. With nine years experience, my work focuses on helping you manage those concerns, as I have worked with multiple populations including those in child welfare, immigration, children, teens, and adults.

For more than 20 years, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside individuals, couples, and families as they work toward healing, growth, and change. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Clinical Addiction Counselor, and Substance Abuse Professional, I bring both deep clinical knowledge and a compassionate, down-to-earth approach to therapy.

I specialize in helping clients navigate life’s most personal challenges—including relationship and intimacy concerns, life transitions, grief and loss, trauma, and mental health struggles. I also provide substance abuse treatment, DOT/SAP evaluations, and recovery support using evidence-based approaches such as CBT, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, Reality Therapy, Trauma-Focused CBT, the Duluth Model, and the Matrix Model.

I have a special commitment to serving Black communities, LGBTQIA+ individuals, people living with HIV, re-entry populations, sex workers, and youth facing challenges. I understand how personal, cultural, and systemic factors shape each person’s story, and I create a safe, affirming space where clients feel truly seen and heard.

In our sessions, you can expect a respectful, judgment-free environment where your voice matters. I believe therapy works best as a partnership—we’ll set goals together, explore what’s holding you back, and develop practical strategies you can use in daily life a more fulfilling life. Whether you’re seeking support for a specific issue or simply want to invest in your personal growth, I’m here to help you take that next step.

The idea of seeking therapy can be a scary process. That’s why as a therapist I always meet my clients where they are in their therapeutic process. I take on a team approach to let my client know that they aren’t alone. Together we can accomplish many obstacles.
