Therapists for college students near Ann Arbor, MI
Coming to therapy for the first time can feel daunting. We all crave familiarity, so stepping into growth often brings discomfort—but that discomfort can serve as a catalyst for transformation. As a therapist, I believe in meeting you exactly where you are, offering support through the process of self-discovery. I offer a warm, welcoming space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings openly and without judgment. I view my role as a collaborative partner in helping you untangle what feels overwhelming, while honoring that you are the expert in your own life. My approach to therapy is intuitive, curious, and deeply client-centered. I draw from a range of therapeutic modalities, including Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Family Systems, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), tailoring techniques to best address each individual’s needs. I believe that strong therapeutic relationships are built on empathy, patience, and authenticity. As we work together, I’ll offer a balance of support and challenge, helping you move toward the changes you’re seeking at a pace that feels right for you.
It is a privilege to hear a person’s life story and help them heal, grow, and navigate through challenges. I often utilize the relationship between mind and body to aid in becoming the healthiest version of oneself, mentally, emotionally, and physically. I have worked in Community Mental Health settings for the last 13 years doing crisis work, assessments, and therapy. I am currently the therapist for the Mental Health Court in Clinton County and working at Therapy Today part-time. In the past, I worked in various outpatient and residential settings with adolescents, adults, and couples. I did conflict resolution with Friend of the Court participants in West Michigan.
Therapy for ADHD brains, overthinkers, and anyone wondering, “what now?” I work with teens and young adults navigating ADHD, life transitions, relationship stress, and the lasting impact of past experiences. Many clients come feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure how to move forward. My approach is warm, collaborative, and supportive. Together, we’ll make sense of what’s getting in the way, develop practical tools that fit your life, and create meaningful change. My goal is for therapy to be a space where you feel understood, comfortable being fully yourself, and empowered to move forward with greater clarity and confidence. Before starting my work in private practice in 2021, I worked closely with teens and families navigating complex school and justice systems. These experiences gave me a strong foundation in helping individuals and families navigate challenging, high-stress situations with compassion, empathy, and care. Reaching out for help is an act of vulnerability and courage. I'm glad you're here! Let's connect and schedule a free consultation call to explore whether we may be a good fit. :)
I believe we don’t have to be defined by our past, but much of our past may be constraining us from who we can and want to be. You only know what you know, and allowing yourself the space, time, and freedom to redefine what that means for you can help you live a life you are meant, deserve, and worth living. I would be honored to be invited into that space with you.
Everyone deserves the opportunity to reach their fullest potential, and at times, we all need a bit of support to get there. I am here to provide that support, tailored to meet your individual needs. Therapy can be a transformative process, offering a wide range of possibilities for growth and healing. I believe that every person is unique, and as such, therapy should never be a "one size fits all" approach. Whether you are new to therapy and seeking to manage daily stresses, looking to foster personal growth, or in need of healing, we will work collaboratively to ensure that therapy is right for you. I take great pride in offering a safe space and a compassionate ear to those open to enlightenment and change. I believe that everyone possesses the inner strength to grow, though sometimes these strengths may be hidden. Through a person-centered and compassionate lens, we will work together to uncover your strengths and cultivate self-compassion to help you achieve your goals. In addition to traditional therapy, I also offer Art Therapy as an alternative form of expression, providing comfort and a unique way to explore your inner self. If you are ready to embark on a journey of personal growth or are simply curious about where to begin, I would be honored to accompany you. Change is not always easy, but when you are ready, you will find a safe space here and a committed partner ready to support you on your path toward healing and growth.
Life is difficult, and it sometimes makes it seem nearly impossible to find the help needed to get through those challenging times. Whether it be anxiety, depression, substance use, addiction, impulse problems, empowerment or self esteem issues, we are here to empower you, meeting your needs

There isn’t a one size “fix” all package for mental health. What works for one; may not work for another. I will be the first one to tell you that I am not the expert in your pain, your life, or your journey. You are. I am simply here to walk alongside you and be a resource for your growth. I believe one of the hardest and bravest things you can do for yourself, is to not only understand your story, but to continue growing from it. As a therapist, it is my goal to help others help themselves and is a motto I have lived by for years now and hope to incorporate this daily with my clients. It is not my role nor my desire to tell you how to live your life; rather, how you can get through some of those hard times, a little less scathed. From my personal experience, working with a therapist that practices empathy, listening, and building trust has helped me through some very dark times. It is my hope to practice these with every person I come into contact with. However small a role I can play in your growth and journey would be an honor. - www.speakeasygr.com (Speak;Easy Mental Wellness)
