Welcome one and all!
Let me introduce myself. I am Lisa. I'm a mother of four and grandmother of five. All exceptionally wonderful souls! I have lived a diverse life since leaving the nest in 1984 and serving my first tour of duty in the U.S. Army. I am a 14 year veteran with combat experience in Iraq in 2007. I also have over 5 years experience as a Corrections Deputy here in Michigan. I remain as a volunteer Firefighter after leaving a full time position as a Paramedic/Firefighter. Now, here I am a fully licensed professional counselor in Michigan (LPC). I have 3 years experience in working with adults with Substance Use Disorder where we see a vast majority also have issues dealing with depression, anxiety and traumatic past issues along with a myriad of other problems that leave people feeling stuck and unable to move forward. I approach each session as another extension of a journey. A journey that I want to be a part of as a partner walking beside you; and, not pushing you from behind nor dragging you along from in front.

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.

Lisa does a wonderful job and is very understanding. Helps me with a lot of thinking and choices I’ve made in my life in letting me know I’m not the fault .
Very good listener with poignant questions and comments.
I appreciate what my therapist tries to do for me. It helps me talk through my various problems.
I've only had one appointment with her but with the things that I've told her she has been helpful and supportive about where I want to go and has given me some tools to sort through my aniexty and they have helped a lot!
Lisa is so great, timely and responsive.
The. Best. Very tailored experience.
Lisa was the best person I've met in my therapy experience. She is wise, always got something to suggest, and lots of the exercises she gave me helped me to deal with anxiety and compulsive thoughts even after the therapy. Definitely recommend her
Respectful and will listen. I would highly recommend Lisa.
Lisa has been such a blessing to me. She is very calm and I can always count on her to listen with no judgement and an open mind. She has provided me with easy tools to help navigate through the chaos of day to day life that can sometimes feel overwhelming. She can relate to a lot of what I’m experiencing and she makes you feel like she truly cares about you and your well being by checking in outside of session dates.
Lisa has wonderful warmth, compassion, humor, & understanding of different therapeutic modalities. My time with her was well spent & I would benefit from more time with her.
Wonderful person with a very loving, gentle personality. Great sense of humor and plenty of wisdom to share new perspectives on personal challenges. One of my favorite parts of my sessions with Lisa is she typically sends me off with a helpful suggestion or assignment to try, such as, “can you try asking your friend this…” or, “can you pick one thing like that to do…” Lisa has built a foundation of trust between us that I really appreciate. Thank you Lisa!
Lisa has been such a great support system! I look forward to our chats when I need to vent or need some extra guidance. She is so compassionate and understanding.
Attentive woman.
Thank for your kindness and understand! Hi Lisa. I'm sorry for this lately reply. I got a job, and i'm so busy that i forgot abt our schedule. I just suffered a short time of mental health but with low level. Now i'm okay. Btw, i think i have to stop this schedule with you because i dont have free time anymore, I work from early and finish when sky get dark. Thank you for all the time and advices you spent with me. I really appreciate. Wish you the best! Love you xoxo P/s: Hope we can meet in real life, when you get a plan to travel to Vietnam!
Lisa is very easy to talk to, and knowledgeable about different coping skills and ways of healing mentally.
Lisa is good. Listens extremely well and knows how to challenge thoughts through observations. Really great. Best therapist I've had in my 10 years of therapy.
Lisa is an incredible councillor. She connected with me especially well and was able to converse and guide me in a personable, enjoyable and compassionate manner. She has lots of quality knowledge & experience which is used to help in a variety of situations and her advice, council and help has been especially transformatice for me. On a more personal note, Lisa was exceptionally easy to talk to as she created a comfortable, low-pressure environment for all of our meetings which really helped. I can't recommend Lisa as a councillor enough, thank you for everything you've done so far!
With a few simple wise words Lisa after only a few sessions had changed my way of thinking and helped me release the past.
Having had a few sessions with Lisa, I feel well connected and supported. Her motherly instincts come across and is very caring and compassionate. The advice given so far is life changing. Thank you for the support so far Lisa x
