Therapists for college students near Ann Arbor, MI

As therapists, we offer therapy in a non-judgmental, safe and confidential environment. We provide a space where individuals feel comfortable sharing their concerns so that we can work together to gain insight on life's stresses and struggles. We collaborate with clients to develop effective coping mechanisms, process through life experiences, and accomplish personal goals. Our clinical background includes therapy with individual, couples, and families related to anxiety, depression, life transitions, anger management, and grief and loss concerns. We believe therapy can be a tool to help move clients toward a more balanced life. We draw from a variety of frameworks with a focus on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, using a strengths-based and empowerment approach. We have specialized training in Motivational Interviewing, CBT, EMDR, and Comprehensive Behavioral Intervention for Tics.

I specialize working with clients who have mood disorders, trauma, learning disabilities, and developmental disabilities. Many clients identify on the LGBTQ+ spectrum and are working on finding who they are. I am a current school social worker that works with students of all walks of life. I have experience that can help you as you navigate college pressures, transitions, and career paths. I enjoy working with high school and college students. Often my clients are working through life changes and transitions and they want to better their relationships. I help clients understand things that are happening in their bodies, both physical symptoms related to escalation or anxiety, and their emotions. I can help you identify triggers for negative feelings and interpret various social interactions. Together, we can work to help you gain insight of helpful versus harmful behaviors. I view this work as collaborative. Together, we can recognize patterns and cycles that start with interpretation of events, your cognitive patterns, and your feelings, empowering you to determine which actions to take. We can process past and present events that have impacted your ability to connect with others, while working toward finding peace and growth.

Helping college students and adults with ADHD, anxiety, and depression find clarity, balance, and tools to move forward with confidence. I offer online therapy to anyone in Michigan, no matter where you live, with weekday and evenings available, plus limited in-person sessions. Do you feel overwhelmed no matter how hard you try to keep up? Are you constantly behind, overthinking everything, or wondering why simple tasks feel so hard? I know what that’s like: the mental noise, the pressure to do more, and the frustration of feeling stuck. Living with ADHD, anxiety, or depression can wear you down, and I don’t want you to face it alone. With the right support and practical tools, things can get easier, and I look forward to helping you feel more in control of your life. The tools I use in sessions are ones I’ve built over years of working with students and adults who felt overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward. Before becoming a therapist, I spent eight years as a school psychologist helping people understand how they learn, think, and cope. That experience shaped my style: practical, thoughtful, and focused on what actually helps in real life. My goal is for you to leave therapy with tools you can use anywhere. Not complicated theories, but simple strategies to help you focus, calm your mind, manage emotions, and handle hard moments. We build these tools together, at your pace, in ways that fit your life. I’m collaborative and supportive, but also active and goal focused. We won’t just talk about what’s hard. We’ll work on what to do about it, starting with what’s bothering you right now and building skills to help you feel more in control.
