Therapists for college students near Ann Arbor, MI

With 29 years of experience, helping others is not just my job; it is my nature. Life can be stressful at times, leaving you feeling overwhelmed and lost in your own thoughts. In my practice, you will find a warm and empathetic environment so you may share your feelings and your story. I offer coping skills, ways to understand your emotions, and help you find real solutions to daily problems. These tools can help to restore a sense of calm in your life and guide you in finding your way back to yourself. I specialize in anxiety, depression, self worth and confidence, relationships and dating, family of origin challenges, and work stress. We all need a little support and guidance at times. I'm currently offering video sessions, and am happy to join you on a phone call to talk about how I can best help you. I look forward to hearing from you.

I believe that everyone goes through challenges in life. I believe that having someone to guide you on your journey is important. I believe that counseling is a collaborative process and together we will make a plan. The hardest part of a journey is taking that first step.” I received my Masters degree from Texas Tech University. I have spent several years working and volunteering with disaster programs, counseling centers, school districts, Disaster work, Career Counseling, Academic Counseling, and teaching.

I believe in the uniqueness of each person’s story, the innate power to overcome the darkest moments in life, and the beauty that comes from the process. In session, my intention is to build a trusting and collaborative relationship, bringing warmth, compassion, empathy, truth-telling, and hope to our time together. I utilize a holistic approach to healing, focusing on the integration of emotional, physical, and spiritual wellness. It is a great privilege to walk alongside those who are willing to put in the hard and courageous work to find hope and healing. I am passionate about walking with those navigating chronic illness, perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, the adjustment to parenthood, relationship concerns, and life transitions. I incorporate a variety of interventions in my sessions, including CBT, ACT, Interpersonal Therapy, mindfulness-based therapy and compassion-focused approaches, among others. I am also trained in EMDR with an attachment lens. Through the therapeutic process, my desire is for each person to experience restoration, peace, and wholeness in their lives.

I believe that health and wellness are best achieved by addressing the whole person, not simply the condition, adverse event or illness/disease. This holistic approach to care respects the individuality of persons, their environments and their physical and emotional needs. The therapeutic relationship is important and necessary in order to move forward in your areas of stagnation. This collaborative effort will allow for exploration when determining which therapeutic approach best matches your identified goals based on symptoms, personality and experiences. My approach is collaborative, warm, engaging and directive. I utilize evidenced based practices and interventions to assist you in meeting your treatment goals and needs. We will develop realistic and obtainable goals along with skill building. Therapy is hard work! Building your best self takes time. I look forward in walking alongside you on this journey.
