Culturally Sensitive Therapists in Ann Arbor, MI

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.

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.

Welcome! If you've landed here, you're probably someone that can identify with feeling stuck in life, battling stress, anxiety or depression, or wanting to strengthen relationships. I'm a laid back therapist whose goal is to provide a comfortable environment to people like you that is empathic, non-judgmental, and culturally sensitive. As a certified Brainspotting (BSP) therapist with extensive training, I can help you identify, process, and release emotional and physical sources of trauma, both big and small.

First and foremost, thank you for seeking out therapy. Choosing to be emotionally open with someone you don’t know can be extremely difficult.

Regardless of your reason for seeing me, I am your advocate. I will stand with you and help you accomplish whatever it is you want to accomplish. Think of me like your well-informed sidekick.

Therapy works best when the environment and therapeutic relationship feel safe, non-judgmental, and supportive for individuals. I value the importance of how intersecting identities may impact one's mental health and recognize the unique experiences and challenges that come with them. My therapeutic approach is adapted to allow space to balance the exploration of thoughts and feelings (process) and address the specific issues or topics that someone may bring up (content). I value working with each person with an understanding of the importance of both insight and tangible change in clients' lives.
