Therapists for college students near Ann Arbor, MI
“Live simply so others may simply live.” – Mahatma Gandhi I believe therapy is a relationship experience between client and counselor. I, as a counselor, am an expert in my field and my client is an expert of themselves. My approach to therapy stems from the belief that client and counselor work best together as a team, to help uncover the core beliefs and traits taught to us as children and young adults. I incorporate empathy and unconditional positive regard into each of my sessions, to work towards connection and understanding of one another and one’s self. I have experience working in both partial hospitalization program and outpatient settings. My experience stems from working with children and teens with autism, to working with adults with severe anxiety and depression. I have experience working as a mentor of juveniles, as well as a professional in the foster care system. My experience allows for me to keep an open mind when going into the therapy setting, to better understand my clients and their individual backgrounds.
As a therapist, my primary focus is on creating a safe and collaborative environment where your voice is central to the process. I understand that each client comes with unique challenges, and I am here to walk alongside you as we explore and work through them together.
My therapeutic style is an integrative one that utilizes a variety of tools to help create understanding, comprehension, solutions and/or shifts to achieve relief and healing. My therapeutic approach, while empathetic and compassionate, is lovingly direct, helping to increase clarity and reduce confusion in what is often a confusing time in one’s life, when seeking out therapy. My passion is helping to create the shift from suffering to empowerment to allow you to move forward in the world, with tools learned through therapy, and thereafter, in the rest of your life. As a psychotherapist, I’ve worked with a wide variety of issues, including anxiety, depression, life adjustments, loss and grief, abandonment, trauma, inner child work, self-empowerment and relationship issues.

College can feel overwhelming when you are managing anxiety, ADHD, burnout, and constant pressure to keep up. I work with college students who feel stressed, overextended, or unsure of their direction. Many are balancing school, relationships, family expectations, and mental health at the same time. Therapy focuses on understanding patterns, building practical coping skills, and improving daily functioning so life feels more manageable and less overwhelming.
Do you experience stress, worry, or panic? Does anxiety interfere with your pursuit of personal and academic/professional goals? I can help you overcome your fears and help you live a more meaningful and fulfilling life. My goal is to provide a compassionate environment in which my clients can learn strategies to attain greater life satisfaction and well-being. My areas of expertise include Anxiety Disorders (generalized anxiety and worry, social anxiety, panic disorder, agoraphobia, and specific phobias), Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, and Body Focused Repetitive Behaviors (compulsive hair pulling and skin picking). I also support parents who are experiencing anxiety or OCD during the perinatal period. I will collaborate with you to develop a treatment approach that meets your needs. Through evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), we'll work together to reduce your distress, build healthy coping skills, and restore a sense of balance in your life.
