Teletherapy for Lansing, MI

Do you feel overwhelmed with anxiety, frozen with worry, or lost in endless doomscrolling? Let me help you navigate a path forward. I specialize in issues of anxiety, family conflict and parenting for adolescents and adults ages 14 and up. My passion is helping you feel your best with an integrated approach to wellness that incorporates mind, body, and spirit, through psychotherapy, nutrition, movement, and spiritually-based mindfulness.

You've tried everything else, why not therapy? You may struggle with panic attacks, racing thoughts, trouble sleeping at night, and an inability to focus. Or, you dread getting out of bed in the morning. Maybe you feel hopeless, helpless, and alone. You struggle to find meaning in life and may even feel suicidal at times. Living with bipolar disorder can feel like a roller coaster. When you’re not depressed, you feel so high you could do anything! But when you’re really elevated, you might do things that cause serious problems after. These issues can affect relationships, work, or family.

I offer a safe and welcoming environment for children, teens, and young adults who are looking to try therapy. Mental health challenges are on the rise, and I want my clients to know it is okay to acknowledge that things are not always okay. I use a trauma-informed approach and have experience treating a wide range of symptoms including those resulting from anxiety, anger, self-esteem, family conflict, ADHD, PTSD, religious trauma, depression, and issues related to gender identity and sexuality.

Talking with a therapist in a safe, open, and respectful environment can help you to obtain a better understanding about the issues in your life that may be causing you to feel anxious, depressed, or hopeless. Sometimes these feelings are caused by a recent event such as getting fired, loss of a significant relationship, or death of a loved one, and other times the feelings are on-going and have been around for a while. Regardless if your issues are acute or chronic, everyone can benefit from being heard and treated with compassion.

Whether you are seeking therapeutic support or looking for professional coaching services, you can start today and discover how you can live an inspired and empowered life. It is my goal to ensure the quality of care that allows you to lead your "best life imagined".

Having been through difficult times myself, I feel I can offer support to others who are experiencing trying situations. I can work with grief, PTSD, anxiety, bipolar disorders, sleep disorders and occupational burnout.

There are times in our lives when problems can feel overwhelming, painful, and difficult to face alone. Relying on friends and family may not be a viable option. During our sessions, you can expect me to take time to get to know you & provide a safe place for you to express your thoughts, feelings, & reactions that arise in and outside of therapy. You can also expect me to work directly in the present moment re an issue, as well as revisit your past re the issue. Whether it's a challenging situation, or you want to change direction in your life, I look forward to establishing a collaborative relationship to achieve your goals.

Accepting New Clients Accept Beacon Health Insurance ***Accept Cash Pay*** ***Accepting new clients*** My mission in life, and as a professional, is to spread more good than harm. The reason this education and career have called me is my deep interest in change and positive growth in people. Inside of a relationship built on trust, mutual respect, and confidentiality, counseling may provide you with the opportunity for change that you have been looking for.

***Accepting New Clients*** Sometimes we have challenges with old habits from youth or as an adult that don't seem to go away and it's causing distress and dysfunction. We seem to keep repeating the same cycles without any growth. I often say "You repeat what you don't repair," it's only when we get to the root of the issue that we can change it. If you've been on the hamster wheel of life and want to get off, let's talk. Stop going through life and start growing through it. There is always hope and you are not alone, you are literally one decision away from changing the rest of your life!

I provide confidential counseling services for preteens, adolescents, adults, couples and families in an environment of trust, acceptance and compassion. I use a client-centered approach to counsel individuals challenged by relationship issues, family conflict, school or work related stress, past trauma, and other mental health issues. My guiding principles for counseling are to empower hope, encourage growth and embrace change.

Am I good enough? Am I smart enough? Do I really matter in this world? Do people really know I exist? Why am I not being heard? I have often asked myself these questions, and throughout my journey of becoming a therapist and healer, I have learned how to heal from the very scars that caused me to have those types of questions. I learned that I am valuable, I do matter, I am smart enough, I am heard, and my existence on this earth matters. Guess what? The same goes for you too! It's OK To Heal was created for anyone who feels that they need to heal! I am here for that reason, to assist in the healing journey.

Working with people who are struggling with a variety of issues is my passion. It is a great privilege to journey with clients through the healing process and for clients to gain relief from pain, sorrow and symptom relief. In this process clients are able to gain coping skills, gain self confidence, heal from addiction and reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety. My greatest joy is offering hope and healing through the counseling process.
