Meet Elise

Welcome Elise!

I’m thrilled to officially welcome Elise to The Michigan LPC Supervisor team — our very first additional supervisor! Elise is not only a trusted colleague, but also a former supervisee of mine who brings compassion, insight, and a trauma-informed approach to her work. As a Michigan LPC, Elise now offers individual supervision for LLPCs and counseling interns, using the same developmental, strengths-based model we value here.

Her style is aligned with mine: warm, collaborative, and grounded in real clinical experience. Whether you're just beginning your supervision journey or looking for support that meets Michigan’s licensure requirements, Elise is here to help you grow into the clinician you’re meant to be.

Why Choose Elise as Your LPC Supervisor?

1. Proven Experience and Qualifications

I have 6+ years of  experience as a Licensed Professional Counselor in MI, working in group practices and as the primary in my own private practice.  I’m qualified in MI,  and nationally,  to supervise counselors new to the field, post-graduation from a masters program from LLPC to LPC. I started my own private practice in 2020, and can guide you through the necessary steps to get a practice off the ground. With both a business development and clinical background, I can look at the business of counseling from both lenses.  

2. Developmental Model of Supervision
My supervision approach will support the levels of learning you go through while in your limited license phase.  I will supervise you with empathy and understanding as you learn new information, perform new skills and further understand the process of providing therapy to clients.  I will honor your growth and promote autonomy each step of the way, by addressing your strengths first and then exploring areas of needed understanding.

3. Current Direct Client Work

I bring real-time clinical insight to supervision through my active private practice, where I focus on trauma-informed care, identity work, and relationship dynamics. Because I’m doing the work alongside you, I offer guidance that’s grounded, practical, and compassionate. My goal is to help you build clinical confidence while staying connected to your authentic voice as a therapist.
