Therapists for college students near Ann Arbor, MI
Accepting the journey, we've been on and the need for change can feel overwhelming. Often therapy is seen as a one-sided conversation, let's change that narrative together. As your therapist, it is important to me to create a relationship where you feel safe and supported. We can explore what acceptance, healing, and growth means to you and create a plan to achieve those goals. I am passionate about working with teens and adults experiencing life transitions, anxiety, depression, women's mental health, PTSD, and identity development. I offer engaging, honest conversation to encourage accountability towards growth and acceptance. I believe that you have the capacity for growth when you feel seen, heard, and respected. Bring your emotional support water bottle or coffee and let's get to work on creating the best version of yourself.

Are you overwhelmed with life stressors due to family conflicts, prioritizing school, or systemic issues? Do you sometimes feel so anxious, depressed, misunderstood, or numb that you feel disconnected from everything or everyone? Are you constantly prioritizing everyone except yourself? Are you simply tired of feeling stuck or overthinking? Well I get it! Tribulations can arise despite our age, race, religion, sex, or background. Despite our intersectionality, we all deserve and need a safe space to explore our thoughts, feelings, experiences, and behaviors; understanding the impact allows us to recognize patterns and create better experiences.
Hi, I’m Matt. Often, getting started with a trusted therapist can be the most challenging hurdle to overcome. If you are here, then you have already taken your first step. I am proud of you, but more importantly, you should be proud of yourself. No matter where your journey takes you, know that you do not have to walk it alone. My goal is to provide a safe and welcoming environment for all people. I also place great importance on developing a mutual sense of trust, as I believe trust is the key to building a healthy therapeutic relationship. I practice using a person-centered approach and an eclectic therapy model tailored to the individual as I believe that therapy needs to fit the individual’s unique needs and experiences. I completed my Master of Social Work degree at the University of Michigan. Through my internships and roles I have had the pleasure to work with many different populations, from children with an ASD diagnosis to at risk youth in residential settings to adults with an Intellectual Disability diagnosis to medically compromised adults, and more. I enjoy working with the 2SLGBTQIA+ community, teens and young adults, and anyone else on a journey of self discovery and healing. I look forward to meeting you and walking alongside you in your therapeutic journey. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or if you would like to schedule an appointment.

I work best with college students and young adults dealing with stress, anxiety, burnout, low mood, and life transitions. Many of my clients feel overwhelmed by academic pressure, relationships, or trying to figure out what’s next. My style is collaborative and practical — helping you better understand your emotions, build coping skills, and find strategies that make daily life feel more manageable and balanced. I use evidence-based approaches that focus on building coping skills, increasing emotional awareness, and strengthening confidence, while always tailoring sessions to your goals and pace.
Most likely, you are searching due to questions about the world you are entering into, and what is your next step now that you are in college or nearing the end. My goal is to help you navigate your next step and, if necessary, assist in reducing your anxiety and depression that may or may not be correlated to your college experience.
“Nothing is so strong as gentleness, nothing so gentle as real strength.” I believe that everyone deserves a place to feel safe and seen. In my approach, I strive to create an environment of acceptance and warmth, while striking a balance of change and accountability to help you reach your goals. Doubtless, you have overcome so much on your journey, and my goal is to help you embrace and hone the strengths you already possess. I have previous experience working as an outpatient therapist at the DBT Institute of Michigan, where I practiced fully comprehensive DBT and taught DBT skills groups, with special focus on young adults and the LGBTQ+ community. Although I do not currently offer fully comprehensive DBT, the model continues to inform my practice.
“Our wounds are often the openings into the best and most beautiful parts of us.” – David Richo Everyone experiences unique challenges throughout life. My therapeutic approach is to create a relaxed, safe environment where you feel comfortable sharing your challenges and stressors. I value the importance of developing a strong therapeutic connection, as it is essential for growth. I utilize strengths-based and motivational interviewing approaches. Prior to working in private practice, I have over 7 years experience working with Veterans and their families. This has provided me with opportunities to work with individuals who struggle with PTSD, depression, and anxiety. I facilitated stress realization and single parent groups where I introduced individuals to stress relaxation techniques and discussed feelings surrounding shame, guilt, and vulnerability.
I believe that each person is an expert on their own unique experience. I view my role as being a guide in assisting people towards discovering and reaching their goals towards enhancing and enriching their lives. I use a strength-based, person-centered approach to build a strong foundation for the therapeutic relationship. I strive to provide a safe, open environment where I can meet my clients where they are at and help them on their journey. In addition to working in a private practice setting, I have provided case management and psychotherapy at two different Community Mental Health organizations, a domestic violence center, a youth shelter, a specialized facility, and a hospital. I have worked with teens with learning obstacles and behavior concerns, women who experienced sexual assault and domestic violence, young adults who experienced first episodes of psychosis, life transitions, eating disorders, and stress management, couples experiencing communication and trust issues, and adults with mental illness and co-occurring disorders.

I don’t look like what I have been through, and you don’t have to, either. There are times in our lives when we can’t see past our grief, trauma, passion, or desires. There is no shame in talking things out with a professional trained to help. We all walk a different path, but talking to someone can sometimes help us see the forest, not just the trees. My goal is to assist you in establishing healthy boundaries across various areas of your life, enhancing self-awareness, and embracing uncomfortable emotions like guilt and shame. I promote self-love and compassion, improve communication skills, and encourage you to face your fears and uncertainties.
