Limited Licensed Professional Counselor (LLPC)
Meet Our Clinician
Recently earning her Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Central Michigan University, Sierra joins EVE with more than a year of counseling experience at a domestic violence shelter, supporting survivors as they heal and grow.
At EVE, Sierra provides short-term counseling to survivors of domestic and sexual violence. Her approach incorporates Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), an evidence-based treatment that helps individuals process trauma and explore thoughts and beliefs affecting their healing. She aims to create a compassionate, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel safe, heard, and empowered.
Sierra takes a collaborative, client-centered approach, working closely with EVE’s advocacy team to help clients identify needs, set personal goals, and connect with resources supporting their safety, stability, and well-being. She is passionate about supporting survivors as they heal and work toward lives that reflect their goals and values.
Advocacy Services
EVE advocates are trained to support survivors of domestic assault. Advocates are dedicated to providing trauma-informed, empowerment-based care. EVE understands that each survivor has their own story and lived experiences, and we work to honor that while supporting survivors on their healing journey.
All services are free and confidential.
To speak to an advocate about how EVE can support you, please call our Crisis Line at (517) 372-5572.
Referrals & Resources
EVE advocates are able to assist in making the appropriate referrals and identifying community resources that survivors might need. This might include attaining access to public transportation, assistance meeting housing goals, information about survivor's rights, etc.
Safety Planning
Advocates can assist survivors in making arrangements that prioritize survivor safety on their healing journey. Plans are personal and practical to support the individual needs of each survivor.
Advocacy & Case Management
Aside from offering emotional support and crisis intervention, advocates can also assist with Personal Protection Order (PPO) assistance, courtroom support, etc.
