About me

Thank you for taking the time to read my Bio. I have been a practicing therapist for over 9 years. I received my master’s from Central Michigan University and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Michigan. I use an eclectic approach, which means that I tailor my approach to each individual client to make sure I always meet each person where they are. My non-judgmental style helps clients reach goals, while feeling empowered and capable to continuing to utilize skills learned during therapy long after counseling is done. I encourage all individuals to set the pace of counseling, determine what their goals are and change them as they see fit. I look forward to supporting and empower you along your journey towards your goals.
At this time, I provide services for, individuals, adolescent's, and LGBTQIA, to help them work through life issues that may have hindered their quality of life.
Thank you again and I look forward to hearing from you!.

I don't have to worry about what I say, if I'm having a bad day or the like. She's honest with me and will tell me if I'm overreacting without dismissing how I feel.

Really happy I got connected with Dewan. She's very knowledgeable and understanding of what I've been dealing and has given great advice and feedback. She's listens very well and remembers everything I tell her. She also is really funny and a joy to talk to. So happy she is my therapist.

Very easy to communicate with. I felt very comfortable speaking with her about topics that I normally do not like to talk about. From the start I had only felt welcomed and I am very grateful for her!

DeWan is an amazing therapist. My situation is a rough one and I’ve sought help from countless sources to the point I didn’t even think therapy could help me. Within two weeks of talking with DeWan I’ve gained so much more confidence to better handle my situation. My anxiety has tremendously gone down thanks to them and I am proud to say that I’ve gotten mentally tougher through the two week duration.
