Out of Network Therapists in Lansing, MI

I primarily see clients who are struggling with issues related to sexuality. This is broadly defined but would include problems with intimacy (e.g., difficulty maintaining closeness), desire (e.g., not wanting to have sex), arousal (e.g., inability to achieve or maintain erections), and orgasm (e.g., not being able to, or having it happen too quickly). If you are in a committed relationship, I encourage the partner to be involved. I also see clients who are experiencing distress related to affairs, sexual compulsivity, sexual trauma, sexual orientation, and gender identity. Clients who identify as LGBTQ+ are welcome.

Hello. I have a passion for transforming challenging life issues with compassion, self-awareness and self love. My primary areas of interest include adolescents and adults who have difficulties with depression, anxiety, self-esteem and managing day to day stress. I also have experience working with adults who have a history of substance abuse. I believe that therapy is an influential journey that requires a partnership between both client and therapist. I incorporate a mindfulness approach to treatment and utilize acceptance and change strategies to help you reach your goals.

I became a therapist because I believe everyone deserves to have someone who is always in their corner. Life can be hard; weathering the storm alone is unbearable. Therefore, it is my goal to walk with each person while providing acceptance, empathy, and honesty as they weather life’s storms. I enjoy working with adults who may be experiencing pregnancy and postpartum mood and anxiety disorders, pregnancy or parenting struggles, anxiety, life-transitions, grief and loss, and clients who are seeking faith-based counseling.

I collaborate with clients to assist with their needs at schools, courts, and employers.

My therapeutic approach is holistic in nature as it encompasses a full body aspect. Examining your mental, physical, emotional and spiritual state. This approach explores root issues and allows healing from the inside out. I seek to empower my clients to find their voice and inner strength that may have been squelched by past abuse and trauma. I have experience with several mental health issues, and I am deeply passionate about helping my clients become emotionally and relationally whole whether it be individually, maritally or in their families. My approach is to adjust the therapy to fit the client.

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.

I have been a psychologist in practice for over 30 years. I work in a collaborative style with clients. I am active in that I ask questions, make specific suggestions or assignments and may suggest monitoring moods or behavior. Although I am eclectic in that I will use whatever therapeutic approaches will be most effective in helping clients reach their goals, I primarily work from a cognitive-behavioral perspective. Cognitive-behavioral treatment is best for helping change negative thought patterns and beliefs that underlie problem moods and behaviors. It is focused on the here and now and has been found effective with many problems.

A PhD therapist has at least twice the amount of academic education, clinical supervision experiences, and knowledge that is focused on helping you more effectively. Why settle for less?
