Therapists for college students near Ann Arbor, MI
Have you been feeling overwhelmed with things in your life? Have you been feeling like your coping skills aren't working any longer? Have you been drinking alcohol or using drugs to make it through the day? If you said yes to any of these questions, then you are the closest you have ever been to changing your life. Being able to recognize that things aren't how you want them to be takes a lot of strength, courage and insight. Often suffering happens in silence. That is why I believe the way to get control of your life back is by sharing openly, and honestly about your experience without judgment Due to my own personal and professional experiences, I have extensive training and experience working with people experiencing life changes, trauma, substance use, addiction and ADHD. My style of therapy is supportive, yet at the same time I am willing to challenge you and kindly call you out. I try to keep it real with the people I work with. Everyone deserves to feel valued, recognized, and heard, including YOU. I truly believe reaching out for help is the strongest, and most courageous action someone can do. If you are looking for someone who is going to actively help you find ways to improve your situation, then reach out to me. I can't promise that puns and dad jokes wont be used as well!
Mental health issues are often most noticeable in our relationships. Clients I work with tend to experience anxiety, overwhelming emotions, and self-esteem issues that feel especially present when they are with others. This can impact your dating life, your ability to find and maintain friendships, and your satisfaction in longer term romantic and familial relationships. I help clients identify painful patterns in their lives, then dig deeper to understand where they are coming from. After working together, clients feel more in control of their emotions and relationships, which leads to a greater sense of calm in their lives.

I am regularly caught saying “Everyone should go to therapy!” I do, however, recognize that entering into therapy can be daunting, so I applaud you for taking this first step! I believe that we are all interdependent beings and thrive in healthy, dynamic relationships. Thus, I aim to help you build and cultivate those relationships through self-reflection and self-care so you can feel fulfilled and empowered.

Many of the students I work with feel overwhelmed, stuck in their thoughts, or unsure how to manage everything on their plate. You might be dealing with anxiety, burnout, trouble focusing, or feeling mentally exhausted from trying to keep up with school, work, and life. I work especially well with students who are navigating ADHD, autism/neuro-spicy, executive functioning challenges, anxiety, depression, or big life transitions. Some of my clients struggle with procrastination, staying organized, or following through on tasks, even when they really want to do well. Others feel constantly stressed, overthink everything, or have a hard time turning their mind off. You don’t need to have everything figured out before starting therapy. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, unmotivated, or just not like yourself lately, that’s enough. My approach is practical and supportive. We focus on real-life strategies that help you manage stress, improve focus, and feel more in control of your day-to-day life. At the same time, we’ll explore what’s underneath the stress so you can start to feel more grounded and confident. If you’re looking for a therapist who is easy to talk to and focused on helping you actually feel better, not just talk about problems, you’re in the right place.

“There is no love like your own.” My approach to therapy is attachment-based and relationship-focused, as I believe our work is built upon a strong therapeutic foundation. In our relationship, I will help you develop a kinder and safer inner-world to live in, to help you reach your goals and feel more connected to others in your life. We will help you recognize your inner strengths as we walk this journey together. I have previous experience in an adult psychiatric inpatient unit at University of Michigan hospital. This formed my holistic understanding of mental health, and it sharpened my crisis intervention skills. I was drawn to the therapeutic relationships I built in this setting, which is why I transitioned to working in private practice: to build trusting, supportive, therapeutic relationships to help everyone I work with reach their goals and lead more fulfilling lives.
Attending college can be an exciting time and also a challenging time. Adjusting to so many life transitions and managing the stress that comes with these transitions can become overwhelming. Counseling assists you with the adjustment process, helps with finding solutions, learning healthy coping skills and identifying and modifying faulty thinking patterns that contribute to stress, anxiety and depression. Counseling can also help you define life goals, career plans, resolve relationship issues. You don't have to manage these stressful situations alone. Together we can work through any issues holding you back from fully enjoying the college experience.

Are you going through a significant life event or change? Or are you ready to work through past distressing memories or traumatic events? Embarking on the therapeutic journey takes courage, as well as finding the right therapist. I specialize in helping those going through significant life events and discernment, individuals who experience depression, anxiety, grief, PTSD, as well as those who identify as LGBTQIA. I prefer to view therapeutic foci through an Adaptive Information Processing Model, rather than through a pathological lens. So many presenting symptoms are actually trauma-related, and that is where healing can start. What if your brain could heal itself? I offer Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), which can be a powerful treatment for PTSD, anxiety, grief, performance improvement, depression and many other conditions. I am trained in the EMDR DeTUR protocol for urge reduction as well (focusing on addictions or other compulsive behaviors). In an effort to accommodate busy schedules, I offer evening and weekend appointments. Together, we will collaborate on goals and a plan while building upon your strengths. I look forward to hearing from you! If interested in EMDR therapy and curious about it, please see www.emdria.org for further information.
“With the past, I have nothing to do; nor with the future. I live now.” Ralph Waldo Emerson Everyone experiences challenging times or life changes at one point or another. I believe one of the bravest things one can do is begin to understand their own story. I provide a safe, supportive, non-judgmental environment for my clients to explore personal issues, dilemmas, and concerns in a professional setting. My therapy approach is tailored to each client’s needs and preferences, and I pull from several evidence-based modalities. I am compassionate and supportive but willing to be direct in my guidance. I want to partner with my clients to help them gain a better understanding of themselves and how they interact with the world around them. I have worked with both adolescents and adults with a focus on anxiety, depression, and traumatic experiences. My background in Community Mental Health as an outpatient therapist provided me with the experience to support a wide variety of individual needs. My experience has helped me understand that therapy is not a “one fits all” model. Everyone has their own experiences and interpretations of their situations.
