Therapists for college students near Ann Arbor, MI
I’ve always known I was meant to help others, and becoming a therapist has allowed me to do just that. I’m passionate about helping people heal, grow, and feel like the best versions of themselves. I work at Restore Therapy Collective in Grand Rapids offering both in person and telehealth sessions. I work with kids, teens, and adults on ADHD, anxiety, autism, life transitions, school issues, relationships, and trauma. I am also dedicated to supporting survivors of domestic violence. With a background as a school social worker and education in play therapy, motivational interviewing, CBT, and EMDR, I take a person-centered approach to help clients build resilience and find what works for them. Outside of here, I enjoy traveling, photography, trying new restaurants, reading, and spending time with my two cats, family, and friends. I’m grateful to support my Michigan community and would be honored to help you on your journey!

For many folks, transitioning to college life feels difficult enough. But for those who are holding themselves together after trauma, struggling with chronic illness and mental health, or those who are first-generation students, the hurdles to being successful can feel insurmountable. As a therapist, I specialize in working with clients who identify as BIPOC, neurodiverse, or who are navigating chronic health conditions. My goal is to help clients recover from PTSD, set and maintain healthy boundaries, and navigate relationships in ways that set them free from people-pleasing. I have worked extensively with survivors of sexual assault and other forms of abuse. I work for Spring Forest Counseling, a group therapy practice located in Okemos, where I see clients in-person and virtually. I am trained in EMDR for PTSD, and also utilize IFS/parts work, mindfulness, and exposure therapy when relevant. My approach is direct, empowerment-based, and educational.

Prior to Covid-19 I began working with telehealth and moved towards seeing everyone from their own home to remove the barrier of the commute. Additionally I see people living in rural areas for specific needs such as gender dysphoria. My experience includes addressing trauma/PTSD, substance use/abuse and recovery, anxiety, depression, transgender and gender dysphoria, and LGBTQ+ issues for adolescents and adults as an ally. You can easily request and schedule our first appointment or phone consultation by reaching out today - preferably by email.
When life knocks you off balance, it's easy to lose sight of who you are. I help people rebuild trust in themselves and others, find relief from trauma and anxiety, and feel safe and life themselves again. Maybe you've experienced combat, military service, sexual trauma, assault, religious trauma, or a serious accident. Maybe you're wondering how to get rid of your PTSD, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, or low self-esteem. Together, we’ll create a path toward feeling grounded, connected, and revitalized.
Coming into counseling is an indication that there are aspects in you life that you want to change. We all desire to live our best life and having someone who provides unconditional acceptance, honesty and support can help you in reaching those goal. An effective counseling relationship will allow you to increase your self knowledge, gain an awarness of the patterns in your lives, and learn strategies that move you towards your best life. Meaningful counseling addresses your emergent situation and long term issues. My substantial background as a professional in crisis intervention, emergency safety planning, and my deep knowledge of community resources helps me to respond to your immediate concern. My in depth long term counseling skills allow me assist you at any stage of your life. My internship at the MSU Psychiatric and Counseling Center has prepared me to handle a wide variety of student-centered concerns and meet the challenges of significant change and stress. To support you as a client, I adhere to a person-centered counseling philosophy. You are the expert on your life and goals, and I act as your guide. As my client you will determine the goals to be achieved. I will use only those techniques and strategies that are evidenced-proven to aid you in reaching those goals. Starting counseling can be a overwhelming and scary experience. I recognize that and strive to always provide you a safe and accepting place to grow.
Why does insight alone, not lead to congruence between what you want and what you do? This is a question we would explore together. My areas of interest and experience include anxiety and depression, relationship difficulties, behavioral change through healthy habits, mindfulness, and exploring interpersonal struggles. We can focus on what resonates with you, work within any of life's domains where we believe change is possible, and go inward with mindfulness to sit with the parts of our realities that are beyond our control. Focusing on what we can control, however, is often the way forward.
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.
My approach to counseling is interactive in style and based on the concept that understanding emotions is essential to personal growth and happiness. I provide a supportive, empathetic, non-judgmental environment in which my clients feel comfortable in sharing and exploring their feelings. My goal is to help my clients to develop long term skills for coping and prospering. I specialize in working with life transitions and grief and loss. I work with individuals, couples and families.
