Adults Therapists in Ann Arbor, MI

As a licensed clinical therapist, I've spent my time working with adults of all age ranges, in college, in professional careers, even in retirement. I work with people who desire a mental health professional for support in managing demanding careers, lifestyles, transitions, processing conflicts, grief and loss, past traumas, managing mental illness including depression, anxiety, mood disorders, addictions and any range of unexpected crisis that can occur throughout our journey in life.

I specialize in therapy for anxiety and OCD in children, teens, and young adults; therapy and evaluations for toddlers, preschoolers, and young children; and parenting support. For young children, I offer diagnostic assessments to better understand their symptoms, development, and relationships, and to guide treatment recommendations. Therapy for young children can help them and their caregivers to improve their relationship, improve coping skills, reduce emotional outbursts or other mental health symptoms, and reduce parenting stress. I use strategies from evidence-based approaches, tailored for the needs of each family.

Is something out of balance in your life? With yourself? Your child? Your effectiveness as a parent? Your relationships? Life circumstances/transitions? If it is, please know that my way of practicing is to non-judgmentally understand what is going on--what area of your life is being negatively impacted. Then we can collaboratively work on establishing goals and a treatment plan. Whether it is Anxiety, OCD, Autism (including very young kids with autism), Depression/Bipolar, Behavior Problems, ADHD, Trauma or Insomnia, there is a way for you or your child to feel more in control, grounded and balanced.

Our agency provides psychotherapy for adults, couples, families, and teens. Our mission is to enhance your quality of life by developing your strengths and providing life coaching in dealing with life's challenges in the following areas and more:

I'm passionate about working with couples, young adults (who are trying to navigate the blindsiding and mundane parts of being an adult) and mature adults.

We will navigate the complex challenges of life with groundedness and compassion.

“Life be lifing!” How often are we saying this to describe how hard life can be? Life can throw a lot at us that is challenging to manage. This can often leave us feeling overwhelmed, unsettled, inadequate, and/or stuck. We may not be able to specifically name the impact, but we know we aren’t feeling like ourselves, and our previous coping strategies aren’t helping to return to our “normal.” Taking a step back to reflect and gain awareness can be helpful to make progress. Sometimes we need a supportive person to listen, validate, provide insight, and a fresh perspective to assist in developing strategies that can help us flourish.

I work with clients of all ages and backgrounds, but tend to primarily work with adolescents and young adults. I have the most experience working with clients who struggle with anxiety, depression, ADHD, or social difficulties. I enjoy working with clients who are engaged in their therapy, open to self-reflection, interested in better understanding themselves, and motivated to learn and try new strategies to make positive changes in their lives.

Maybe you're in the middle of a life transition, moving to college, changing jobs, becoming a parent, or losing someone you love. Maybe you wake up in the middle of the night thinking about all the things you haven’t done. Maybe the joys and struggles of parenting feel overwhelming. Maybe you dislike reading these therapist profiles as much as I do. Regardless of what brought you, I’m here for it. I love journeying with people who are sorting through anything from small challenges, to big life struggles, to large system barriers.

As a relentlessly compassionate experiential psychotherapist, I want to provide you a new experience, an experience that is good and allows you to experience yourself in a new way that feels connected, seen, heard, and understood. If talk therapy hasn't been sufficient in the past for anxiety, trauma, self-esteem/self-concept concerns, or difficulties in your relationships. Consider calling me. The specialty populations I serve are other therapists, physicians and medical professionals, college-age students and emerging adults, the LQBTQIA+ community, and those dealing with grief and relationship problems.

The population I work with are adults, ages 25+. I offer individual and couples' therapy sessions. My practice as a psychotherapist has always been to help the individual to deal with daily shortcomings and vicissitudes of life. Many times, this is a result of learned behavior acquired in the course of their emotional/psychological developments from early childhood to present.

Have you had trauma or relationships in your life that you are struggling to move past? Are you living with constant anxiety, stress, and/or depression?

We can collaborate to understand what is not working for you, how it came to be, and how we can find a path through together.

Trauma alters your brain — luckily, healing does too. I specialize in the treatment of trauma, anxiety, depression, relational issues, and women's issues in teens and adults. My aim is to create a space that is radically accepting and compassionate, open to exploring the past, and hopeful for the future. I believe that therapy should be an empowering and goal-directed experience that leaves each client feeling more self-aware and walking away with a new skillset to equip them to deal with life's challenges.

Are you feeling worried all the time, gripped by sadness, or experiencing pandemic-related stress? Or perhaps navigating change and adversity against the backdrop of these unprecedented times? It is natural for intense feelings such as worry, depression, numbness, or panic to result. Sometimes, difficulties trigger changes in our behaviors and interests, or in our relationship to others or to ourselves. Whatever is bringing you to seek help, I want you to know that with the right support, things can feel manageable again. With skilled and culturally-sensitive understanding, you can move forward with greater confidence.
