Echelon Counseling PLLC

Progress with Purpose

Echelon Counseling PLLC provides individual and couples counseling for adults in Michigan through secure telehealth. I primarily work with men and women who struggle with communication — whether that looks like feeling misunderstood, stuck in the same arguments, emotionally disconnected, or unsure how to express what they actually need.

I also work with individuals experiencing work-related stress and burnout, particularly when professional demands begin to impact emotional well-being, relationships, or overall quality of life.

About

Straightforward counseling

Echelon Counseling PLLC provides individual and couples counseling for adults in Michigan through secure telehealth.

I primarily work with men and women who struggle with communication — whether that looks like feeling misunderstood, stuck in the same arguments, emotionally disconnected, or unsure how to express what they actually need.

I also work with individuals experiencing work-related stress and burnout, particularly when professional demands begin to impact emotional well-being, relationships, or overall quality of life.

My style is honest, direct, and laid back. Therapy here isn't about overanalyzing or using a lot of jargon. It's about real conversations, gaining clarity, and learning practical ways to communicate more effectively and move forward.
