Therapists for college students near Ann Arbor, MI

Beginning therapy is an act of care for yourself and we could all do a little more in that regard. Maybe you have been carrying stress that feels impossible to shake, dealing with intrusive thoughts, or trying to find your footing with identity, relationships, or purpose. My role is to help you explore what’s beneath the surface and create meaningful and lasting change. In our sessions you'll find a space where your voice is heard and where you do not have to filter yourself. My approach is compassionate and collaborative. I use evidence based methods like CBT, narrative therapy, and metacognitive therapy, but more importantly I focus on listening closely & adapting to what you need. If you are in Michigan and looking for in person or online therapy I usually have evening or some limited weekend openings, so feel free to inquire. If you’re ready to begin this journey, feel free to send me a message or give me a call. I believe in meeting my clients with understanding and care, no matter their starting point. Together, we can navigate the path toward the life you're envisioning. If you're ready to reach out, I'll be happy to get us started.

No matter what challenge you are going through, I'm so glad you're seeking help. My goal as a therapist is to provide a safe space to process, problem-solve, and grow. Students navigate countless transitions, relationships, and other hurdles, and I am excited to come alongside you through those challenges. I prioritize creating positive relationships with my clients in which they feel heard and understood. I have a wide range of experience in intensive therapy programs, school counseling, and more. If you are looking for a Christian therapist who integrates faith into sessions, we could be a great fit. If you have any questions, feel free to send me an email.

Hello and welcome. Firstly, I can offer services for psychological evaluations and therapy. Evaluations can be helpful to address learning disabilities, ADHD, or psychological pieces that are impacting performance in your educational pursuits.

I offer a safe space and take a nonjudgment approach in my work. After all, we have all been struck with the human condition. :)

How many times have those close to you tried to tell you what you should do? Do you feel like no one is really listening to your story? I strive to provide a space to be heard without being forced to conform to someone else's individual biases. You are the expert of your life: you live it. I'm an expert on process, and I want to help you find what change looks like in your life. I love the power of story, and your story is unique and rich. I tend not to subscribe to just one theoretical orientation simply because there is no "one size fits all" method of counseling. Rather, I draw from many different theories to devise a plan that will be the most helpful for you. My goal is to create the safest space possible: the one place where you'll never feel judged or criticized. Also, I am an Army vet, so I have a special place in my heart for vets and their families. I offer a discount for vets and their immediate families.
