Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Lansing, MI covered by Cigna

I partner with people experiencing depression, anxiety, addiction related coping and life transitions to identify and reach their goals. I am dedicated to serving the needs of the LGBTQ+ and broader community and am committed to creating a safe, accepting and supportive environment for those I partner with.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I graduated from Western Michigan University with a Masters degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I have 9 years experience as a therapist.

I became a therapist later in life after working many years in manufacturing and as a mail carrier. A journey of personal growth and healing led me to a career as a therapist.

I enjoy helping others grow, heal and overcome challenges. I have much experience helping people manage life transitions, relationship problems, anxiety and depression.

I’m dual certified as a Family Nurse Practitioner, and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner is an asset to help me to identify the client's symptoms of both mental and medical. I take an empowering, holistic, and creative approach to mental health care. I work with children, adolescents, and adults experiencing concerns such as anxiety, ADHD, depression, PTSD, trauma, bipolar disorder, sleep difficulties, and stress. My goal is to create a supportive space where clients feel heard, understood, and actively involved in their care.

Good for you! You’re here because you’re having difficulty in a relationship; or struggling with depression or anxiety and have decided you’re tired of feeling stressed and want to be better able to cope. You deserve to live your life to the fullest and not allow new - or longstanding issues to keep you from reaching your full potential. I focus on building a trusting relationship which will allow you to explore the changes you want to make to improve the quality of your life. I have successfully helped many clients reach their full potential by engaging in therapy treating YOU as a person, and not a disorder.

I’m a therapist who believes in creating a safe, judgment-free space where you can be yourself. I earned my Master’s degree from Western Michigan University and have 7 years of experience in addiction counseling, supporting individuals through recovery and life’s challenges. I’m also trained in EMDR, which helps people process and heal from trauma. My approach is down to earth and focused on giving you practical tools you can use in your everyday life. You don’t have to go through things alone.

Are you someone who has spent much of your life being strong for everyone else—caring for others, holding things together, and continuing to move forward even when you feel overwhelmed? Maybe somewhere along the way, you’ve lost touch with yourself or found yourself struggling with anxiety, depression, past trauma, grief, relationship challenges, or your own sense of self-worth.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor who works with adults and adolescents to better understand the experiences, emotions, and patterns that may be affecting their lives and relationships. I believe meaningful healing begins with greater self-awareness and understanding. My approach is warm, compassionate, trauma-informed, and collaborative, while also providing the support and gentle challenge needed for growth. Together, we can work toward healthier boundaries, stronger relationships, greater self-worth, and lasting change that helps you feel more grounded, confident, and connected to the life you want to create.

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor with 21 years of experience and a background that

goes well beyond the therapy room. Before I became a therapist, I worked across a wide

range of fields — and I bring that broad human perspective into every session. I don't

approach your struggle with a clipboard. I approach it with genuine curiosity about who you

are.

I'm trained in EMDR, CBT, ACT, and DBT, which means I have real tools for real problems —

anxiety that won't quiet down, ADHD that's been dismissed for years, trauma that's never

been properly addressed, grief that doesn't follow a timeline, or a relationship that needs

rebuilding. I work with adults, older adults and seniors, and adolescents, and I offer both in-

person sessions in Fenton, Michigan and telehealth throughout the state.

I also accept Medicare, VA Community Care, TRICARE, and over 25 other insurance plans

— because access to quality care shouldn't be the barrier that stops someone from getting

better.

As an experienced board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner, I specialize in adults between the ages of 18-64 experiencing anxiety, feelings of depression, stress, attention issues, grief, or sleep difficulties who want to feel better and supported. With over 10 years of experience working in different facilities across the country, my goal is to create a calm, judgment-free space where you feel comfortable, heard, and understood.
