- LPC, LCMHC
I am licensed in Michigan and North Carolina with 22 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress, motivation, self esteem, confidence, anxiety, bipolar disorder, & depression. I have worked with military service members and their families across the globe helping with issues of deployment, reintergration, family stress, and PTSD. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.
While I inclued many techniques in therapy I practice a type of therapy called Person-Centered therapy. In short this means the focus will be on you. I will guide you talk about your issues and help you to resolve them by being able to expess your thoughts and feelings openly and together we will make connections of your thought and feelings that will be healing. The follow is a bit more about person centered therapy.
PERSON CENTERED THERAPY
In person-centered therapy, you can expect your therapist to listen, be empathetic, and support you in finding your own solutions. The therapist will not give advice or lead you in exercises.
What to expect
Empathy: The therapist will try to understand your point of view and reflect your feelings back to you.
Unconditional positive regard: The therapist will accept and support you without judgment.
Congruence: The therapist will be genuine, authentic, and transparent.
Active listening: The therapist will pay close attention to what you say and convey an understanding of your feelings and thoughts.
Reflection: The therapist will help you reflect on your experiences.
Reassurance: The therapist will offer reassurance through active listening and positive body language.
How it helps
These techniques help you gain a better understanding of your own thoughts, feelings, and perceptions. This can lead to increased self-awareness and change.
First session
The first session is usually an overview of your problems. Subsequent sessions will continue to explore your concerns.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
