Christian Therapists in Lansing, MI
My passion to serve others is a driving force in my work and life. I have worked in home health, family preservation, and the public school system at the elementary level working with children with IEPs. I believe it is important to approach the counseling process in a holistic manner; recognizing that each part of a person’s life impacts how they approach and view their circumstances. I use evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Strength-based approach, and Person-Centered therapy. I will tailor my treatment approach to the client's needs.

You’re trying your best, but life didn’t used to be this hard. Things aren’t going right. You notice it’s harder to be happy, to feel connected, or even to get out of bed in the morning. You’re tired of pretending to be okay; to be perfect. On the inside, you feel so sad, worried, and angry. You’ve pushed things down and ignored it, but you wonder how much longer you can do that. You’re used to fixing your problems on your own, but this time you can’t figure it out. You’re stuck. You want help; whether that's with OCD, burnout, adverse religious experiences, anxiety, trauma, faith & doubt, or life changes. You want to feel better!

I know what it's like to feel lost, confused, and as though you're stuck at a crossroads with no directions. I also know how important connection and understanding are in those times. I believe the beauty of therapy is how it can disentangle the confusion, revealing profound change, empowerment, and freedom. I can work with individuals or couples encountering a variety of concerns. I am particularly experienced to help clients navigating through relationship issues such as codependency, boundaries, infidelity, mood disorders, and personality disorders. I am drawn to help women recovering from abusive relationships and trauma.

Children, adolescents, and adults who want or need to express and identify tough emotions and learn to communicate those emotions are the people my heart has been most called to help. I want to help empower people with tools to listen to their bodies, and regulate their minds to make good choices and discover their internal skills. I want to support them to have healthy relationships with others. My clients would work to understand that they and the people around them are human and humans are not perfect. While I specialize in children and young people, however anyone who needs help is welcome with me.

The decision to begin seeking therapy can be a challenging one. It's not always easy, the idea of opening yourself up to a new person in such a vulnerable way, so kudo's for even being on this website right now. I encourage all potential clients to reach out to have that initial conversation. Finding the right therapist can be a bit of a process and the only way to start figuring out if someone might be a good fit is to have a chat. And if it's not, that's totally okay, let's find you someone who is. Everyone deserves to have the best support possible.

I am a certified LPC supervisor and owner of Sanctuary Counseling which currently has 7 clinicians. I love working with couples that bring any and all concerns to the table, its very rewarding to watch a couple turn from resentment and fear towards intentional love and fulfillment. I also enjoy working with adults to help them identify and meet their goals, often diving into how they are getting in their own way, with the result of them finding a stronger and healthier version of themselves.

As a veteran, I've seen people in all forms of crises and facing all manners of difficulties in their lives. Working through marital and family crises, life transitions, career changes, severe traumas, depression, anxiety, and all manners of things was an every day experience for us and learning to cope with these issues can be difficult. Finding jobs, mending relationships, getting through depression - all things that can be worked on and I would love to help.

Promoting healthy communities by helping people find hope and healing through professional counseling
is our goal at the Counseling Center of Great Lakes. I have been on the other side of counseling as a client, which ultimately led me to want to pursue a career in counseling. I believe the therapeutic process can be life changing when you find yourself in a very difficult season of life. It is my role to walk along side you and journey with you in this process to find hope and healing. I am licensed both in the state of Illinois and Michigan and I am only able to offer virtual therapy at this time.

You need guidance and a non-judgmental, listening ear. You're already making things happen to the best of your ability - you're not a slacker - but you need a level of support and understanding that you just can't seem to find in your immediate social or family circles. You'd like to talk with someone about past trauma that still haunts you today - might be experiencing nightmares and flashbacks. You'd like to grow and mature in your relationship, or you'd like to move on from it to bigger and better things. You'd simply like to feel better about yourself.
