Therapists for college students near Ann Arbor, MI
Getting to know yourself—who you truly are—can be one of the most challenging yet empowering experiences in life, especially if you're someone who’s been told you think too much, feel too much, or just are too much in general. If that sounds like you, then we should definitely talk. Clients often come to me because they’ve been misunderstood or boxed in elsewhere. Many of them are figuring out how to live outside the lines: queer folks, neurodivergent folks, people in non-traditional relationships, or people who just never quite felt “normal,” whatever that means. As a neurodivergent queer therapist, I’m right there with you. With roots in narrative therapy and trauma-informed work, I bring a client-led, conversational approach. I enjoy helping individuals and relationships see and make sense of the ways their pasts show up in their present, especially those navigating formative trauma, major identity or life changes, or relationship patterns that feel stuck on repeat. Therapy is supposed to be the place where you get to show up as your full, messy self without judgment. My job is to help you feel safe and grounded enough to do just that. If you’re ready to take the first step towards finding your way back to yourself, I’d love to walk alongside you. Please reach out for a free consultation!
Hi. I work with clients who are struggling with anxiety (including worry, phobias, and OCD), perfectionism, procrastination, life transitions, relationship issues, and LGBTQ+ concerns. I use telehealth and in-office visits. My approach is action oriented – helping you build the skills to take risks and handle discomfort so that you can create the meaningful and satisfying life you want.
Mental health issues are often most noticeable in our relationships. Clients I work with tend to experience anxiety, overwhelming emotions, and self-esteem issues that feel especially present when they are with others. This can impact your dating life, your ability to find and maintain friendships, and your satisfaction in longer term romantic and familial relationships. I help clients identify painful patterns in their lives, then dig deeper to understand where they are coming from. After working together, clients feel more in control of their emotions and relationships, which leads to a greater sense of calm in their lives.

I specialize in working with sexuality, gender, and relationships through an anti oppressive attachment based lens. I am trained to work with couples/relationships and see many 2SLGBTQIA+ and non monogamous/polyamorous relationships. I provide Trans, Non-Binary, and Queer affirmative care. My training is in Marriage and Family Therapy, which basically means I have extensive training in working with more than one person in the room as well as considering relational context even when I am seeing an individual person. I practice relationship/marriage/premarital therapy through an attachment based lens and am trained in The Developmental Model of couples work. I have also completed Gottman Level 1 and incorporate that training when useful. I am trained in Brainspotting and find the clients seeking to process difficult experiences and/or move through areas in which they feel stuck benefit from this modality. I provide sex therapy through sex and pleasure positive lenses.
Do you feel like you’re never quite enough? Caught between people-pleasing, perfectionism, and self-doubt? Are you moving through your days feeling anxious, low, disconnected, or weighed down by constant negative thoughts? You may be navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, OCD, or relationship challenges, and you don’t have to do it alone. What you think and feel matter. I believe meaningful change is possible, and that therapy can help you build a life that feels lighter, clearer, and more authentic. Whatever you bring into the room - if it matters to you, it matters to me. I specialize in working with social anxiety, depression, and trauma, using modern, evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Healing begins with a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space. Through collaboration, and a touch of humor, we’ll focus on what matters most. Starting therapy isn't easy, but I’m glad you’re here. Our first sessions focus on understanding your background and building trust in a supportive space. From there, we’ll work toward clarity, confidence, and a more fulfilling life. Reach out today - this is the first step that could change everything. Please call (734) 219-3907 or visit greatlakesmentalhealth.com to start your journey today.
Being a therapist means being open, non-judgmental, supportive, informative, and humble. I realize that each individual is an expert in their own life, and I encourage individuals to develop their own goals based on their individualized needs. I specialize in working with individuals who identify as LGBTQIA+, individuals who have experienced emotional abuse, individuals struggling with a sense of secure attachment within relationships, and individuals with a history of self-harm and/or suicidal ideation. I also specialize in working with individuals who struggle with anxiety disorders, mood disorders, substance use disorders, trauma, and relationship/family conflict. Therapy is most effective when individuals actively engage in their treatment, and I hope to be able to provide tools and coping mechanisms to help clients reach their goals.

You’re tired of: - Overthinking - Feeling overwhelmed - A heightened sense of worry - Your mental energy being depleted - Thinking about the worst case scenario - Being critical of yourself - All-or-nothing thinking - Feeling like an imposter - Worrying about disappointing others - Avoiding things that make you anxious - Comparing yourself to others - Unsubstantiated fear - Procrastinating - Being unable to set boundaries - Having difficulty identifying or communicating what you need - Feeling like you “should” be doing certain things, even if you don’t want to - Neglecting self-care You have a simmering undercurrent of anxiety, and your entire life feels like a list of obligations. You feel weighed down, overwhelmed, and stressed. You’re pathologically helpful and a self-proclaimed people pleaser, so you find yourself gritting your teeth to make it through the day……but you paste a smile on your face and fake it. From the outside you’re successful, high-achieving, respected, and known for going above and beyond, but internally, you know your truth. You’re overly self-critical, procrastinate often, script conversations in your head, and worry about everyone else’s expectations of you. What if you could feel confident saying no to things that don’t serve you? What if you could learn how to put yourself first without feeling selfish? What if you could live a more balanced, intentional, and fulfilling life? Let me help you get clarity on what you’re feeling, why, and how to fix it. We all have “blind spots” that hold us back in some way, and it takes an outside perspective to help identify these. Even if you think… - you’ll let others down - you’re not as smart or capable as your colleagues - you need to have a clear plan - mediocrity is unacceptable - you have to maintain this facade in order to be successful I will show you how to shift your thoughts and behavior in ways that will pave a clear path to joy and confidence. There is no greater investment in life than discovering your full potential, and that comes through insight and self-awareness.

I work with non-linear thinkers who are searching for a therapist with intuitive wisdom who cherishes the divergent path. I specializes in connecting with ADHDers who have always felt different even if others couldn't tell. My clients are notoriously curious and adept improvisors, who are playfully creative, but they still feel perpetually out-of-sync with the world around them. They charm others with their insight and levity, and save the biting criticisms for themselves. So they end up feeling like anxious imposters, waiting to be exposed. Acquiescing to others has helped you get by without too many catastrophes, but deep down you can't keep convincing yourself that you're okay with just getting by. There's a deeper itch that's beckoning you into an alternative way of being. Yes, still different, but personal, integrated, aligned with your soul. I approach therapy as the life-changing work that it is, and while there's a serious commitment to exploring one's psyche, it doesn't mean you or I are required to take ourselves too seriously. Excavating one's own lived experience and the difficulty of navigating a world not built for you is not for the faint of heart, yet we continue to be curious, adapt, and play. I am intentional in creating and holding space for clients to find and share a more authentic version of themselves. Clients are well-met when they bring curiosity about their distinct approach to life, courage to speak what has been left unsaid, and compassion to nurture a deeper truth about themselves.

Sometimes the world we live in can feel intensely overwhelming and our everyday lives can seem particularly challenging to navigate. If you’re feeling lost, I assure you, it’s a perfectly normal part of the human experience. Reaching out and searching for help is an excellent step to find your way forward through whatever you’re facing, whether that’s a recent loss, the pressures of a new school or job, or even difficult family relationships. Therapy can give us so many gifts: the space to process our experience, skills to ease challenging situations, and even deeper insight into our own unique sense of the world.

As well as a host of various techniques to provide you and your family with the best outcome possible. You are the expert of your life.
