Teletherapy for Michigan

Accepting New Clients - We believe that you are the master of your own life and that therapy is a joint process that we can navigate together. We are here to help you develop the tools and understanding needed to create the life you want and meet your goals. Our mission is to provide more accessible services to underserved clients. Our counselors can help with a variety of different concerns, such as struggles related to anxiety, ADHD, autism, depression, self esteem, LGBTQ+ related concerns, self-harm, OCD, substance use, relationship issues, chronic illness, family conflict, and more. We are best reached by email.

Lakeside Professional Counseling provides a safe environment for adults, teens, children, families and couples to uncover skills for positive outcomes and happier lives as we work together to process life struggles. We believe in treating people with dignity and respect and work diligently to be aware of your personal perspectives, values, and beliefs.

One of the most important tools for successful therapy is the relationship between clinician and client. I believe in creating a judgment free atmosphere through empathetic listening skills and positive regard for the client. I utilize an eclectic combination of Person Centered, Strengths Based, CBT, DBT, Solution Focused, Motivational Interviewing, Reflective Listening, Emotional Processing, and EMDR to work with individuals from childhood to retirement in addressing issues with anxiety, depression, ADHD, Autism, gender dysphoria, LGBTQIA+, trauma, grief, self-esteem, self-harm, and substance use/addiction.

Holistic wellness is about finding a seat in a world increasingly marked by systemic barriers. Very often, BIPOC and LGBTQ+ individuals aren't given seats at tables, or even welcomed into rooms that would make life more accessible. I see therapy as a folding chair—a portable, adaptable, and transformative support system that we unfold into our lives to create our own spaces to thrive. My ideal client is open, ready, and willing to work on themselves, name their inner demons, and resist the systemic barriers that have tried to dictate their paths.

I am passionate about creating an open/healing space for clients to share and their own unique story. I have 2 years of practice history with clients of all ages and wide range of identities. A primary practice passion of mine is assisting LGBTQIA+ individuals explore gender and sexuality as it pertains to their own identity as well as processing the lived, social experience of being queer. My goal is to help all of my clients find moments to express and celebrate their own joy while also processing the diverse obstacles and emotions of their unique experience(s).

I often work with people who have experienced stress and trauma in their life. They have often used disconnection from themselves and the world to cope with feeling unsafe or powerless. They feel they have had to mask who they are or what they are feeling in order to have relationships. My hope is to build a "safe enough" client/counselor relationship in which all parts of you can feel welcome. The therapeutic relationship often mirrors other relationships in your life, so I will be addressing our relationship dynamics and communication as part of the therapeutic process.

Are sexual issues and behaviors causing problems in your relationship? Whether for individual or couples counseling, we have sex positive experienced therapists with expertise to help. Has daily living become a struggle and you feel disconnected from yourself or others? We have therapists with proven techniques and tools to help! Are you struggling with parenting your child or teen or are they having concerning behaviors? We have talented therapists that can help you or them.

With a curious, collaborative, warm, and direct perspective, I help LGBTQIA+ adults working through trauma, anxiety, stress, depression, and identity exploration. Everyone has a unique story, perspective, and experience. Sometimes it helps to have someone walk with us to explore our identity, work through life challenges or traumas, and to find fulfillment. What do you want to do in your life? Where do you want to go? How do you want to be true to yourself? I have some maps to suggest, but you have the power to choose the one best for you.

As a therapist at SEC, I believe you are the master of your own life and that therapy is a joint process that we can navigate together. Our mission is to provide more accessible services to underserved clients, particularly in the LGBTQIA+ community, folx with neurodivergence, racial and ethnic minorities, and for other underserved populations who lack access to in-person services.

In my clinical practice, I seek to provide a safe and brave space for wellness inclusive of individual culture, spirituality and identity. I specialize in work with those impacted by complex trauma, depression, suicide, anxiety, sexual assault, sexual abuse, life-transitions, caregiver fatigue, education/work/life balance, substance use, and interpersonal relationship challenges. I offer a unique understanding and appreciation for those lives inclusive of work as a musician, performer, writer, and/or visual artist.

Whether this is your first time looking for a therapist or you have spent ages trying to connect with the right fit, everyone is welcome regardless of where they are at in their healing journey. I am a firm believer in my clients being the experts in their life and my role as a therapist is to provide a safe, affirming space for clients to explore and grow. I also believe that there is no one-shoe-fits-all approach to therapy and that each client brings their own knowledge and strengths. No matter what you are experiencing, I am here to help you get where you want to be.

Big life changes, like leaving a job to pursue a passion or moving to a new city to start a new life chapter & anything in between, can be hard to navigate. While these can be exciting adventures, these changes can surface lots of difficult feelings in addition to painful memories of moments from our past. Sometimes we feel stuck, overwhelmed, anxious, depressed & lost in these situations. Many of us are told to feel happy about these changes, but that might not align with our lived experiences. You’re not alone in this - we can work together to help you find comfort in navigating all of these things.

As a therapist, my approach revolves around exploring narratives and relationships. What stories are shaping your perceptions of yourself and the world? What messages is the world sending you about your life, identities, and relationships? I strive to build a strong therapeutic alliance with my clients, focusing on their inherent strengths and resources. My clinical interests encompass issues related to queer, trans, and other minoritized identities, substance concerns, life transitions, anxiety, and bereavement-grief.

Navigating the journey of life can be challenging. If you find yourself feeling lost, confused, sad, worried, or dissatisfied with certain aspects of your life, I may be able to help you. As a therapist, my role is to guide you in discovering the tools necessary to improve your personal life and relationships. I offer a calm, non-judgmental space where we can explore both hardships and joys together.
