Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Michigan

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with a Master’s degree in Counseling from Central Michigan University. I practice in the state of Michigan and create a warm, confidential space where you can talk openly and grow. I use evidence-based methods like CBT, and mindfulness, adapted to you and your goals. Sessions can be in-person or via telehealth, with flexible scheduling and clear communication about privacy and plans. If you’re unsure about therapy, an initial chat can help us decide if we’re a good fit and outline your next steps.

I am a fully licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Michigan. I earned my Master of Social Work degree in 2019 from Michigan State University. I have over 7 years of experience in community mental health, working as a Child, Youth, and Family Therapist.

I received my Bachelor’s (BA)in Criminal Justice (with a minor in Psychology) and Master’s degree in Counseling (MA) from Central Michigan University. After graduation, I started working with Community Mental Health, where I expanded my trainings and certifications. Since working with CMH I have been able to work with a large population of individuals with different challenges such as substance use, bereavement, trauma, domestic violence, family matters, and life goals. I am certified in DBT and DBT PE. I specialize in Behavioral Health, Personality Disorders, and Trauma Therapy. I have experience working with all ages from school age to geriatric clients.

I approach therapy with respect, curiosity, and a bit of humor. I offer trauma-informed care which has led me to work with people who have gone through hard times and survived. I earned my master’s degree from Michigan State University and have stayed in the East Lansing area since then, working in local residential treatment facilities for teens and in an outpatient intensive treatment program with adults. I have spent the last 15 years working with adults in crisis, whether that is temporary situations like relationship issues or more chronic conditions.
