THE COOL, CALM, & COLLECTED COUNSELOR
I refer to myself as "City Made" and "Country Raised." I'm a native of Baltimore, Md and spent time in NC. I am now a resident of Detroit, Michigan.
I earned a B.A. in Psychology. My graduate education led to an M.A. in Counseling Psychology. I hold active licensures in Michigan, Ohio, and North Carolina. My experience includes licensures as a Clinical Supervisor in Substance Use & Addictions and an Independently Licensed Professional Counselor.
I am a Licensed Therapist with over two decades of experience, holding a Master’s degree in Social Work since 2003. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working with individuals and families from a wide range of ages, cultural backgrounds, socioeconomic statuses, and gender identities. My approach is grounded in empathy, respect, and a deep commitment to supporting each client’s unique journey toward healing and personal growth.
As a therapist, I offer a nonjudgmental, compassionate space where you can feel safe to explore your experiences, emotions, and goals. I specialize in working with individuals navigating trauma, co-occurring disorders, and emotional dysregulation. My approach is grounded in evidence-based practices, including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), which helps clients build skills in mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness.
I understand that healing is not linear—and that every person’s story is unique. Whether you're facing overwhelming emotions, struggling with addiction and mental health challenges, or trying to make sense of past trauma, I’m here to walk alongside you with empathy, respect, and clinical expertise.
Together, we’ll work toward greater self-understanding, resilience, and meaningful change.
I have been doing this work for over 20 years now, and I look forward to working with you!

Find the right therapist for you
Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Lansing
Searching for therapists in Lansing starts with finding someone whose experience matches what you want help with. You may be looking for support with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, work stress, or major life transitions. As you compare Lansing therapists, look for listed specialties, therapy approaches, and details about what sessions are like. A bio can help you understand whether a therapist’s training and style match your needs before you book.
Lansing has a smaller local therapy market than larger Michigan cities, so your best fit may be in Lansing, East Lansing, or available through virtual appointments. Some people prefer meeting in an office, while others choose virtual care for more scheduling options. As you narrow your search, consider appointment times, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading profiles closely can also show how a therapist communicates, structures sessions, and works with concerns like counseling, couples support, or family stress.
Therapy in Lansing can be a significant expense without insurance, and using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway makes it easier to find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, with many accepting new patients and offering clear cost estimates before you book. You can search for therapy in Lansing, MI, review therapist bios, compare virtual and in-person options, and book directly when you’re ready.
