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.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Detroit
Finding the right therapist for OCD in Detroit starts with looking for a provider who has specific training in obsessive-compulsive disorder. OCD involves persistent, unwanted thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors (compulsions), and it responds best to targeted approaches. Exposure and response prevention (ERP), a specialized form of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), is one therapy approach that may be used for OCD, and a qualified healthcare professional can help determine what approach may be appropriate. Some people may also explore medication options with a psychiatrist, either on its own or alongside therapy, depending on guidance from a qualified healthcare professional.
With providers practicing across Detroit and nearby areas like Dearborn, Royal Oak, Ferndale, and Grosse Pointe, narrowing your options can take time. Look for a licensed provider — such as an LPC, LMSW, psychologist, or psychiatrist — who lists OCD as a specialty and has experience with ERP or related evidence-based methods. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their clinical approach and decide if they're a good match before your first session.
Therapy for OCD in Detroit can be expensive without insurance, but using your in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs upfront, and your out-of-pocket expense may be as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find an OCD specialist who fits both your clinical needs and your budget.
