I’m a licensed therapist and founder of a private practice built around helping people create meaningful, lasting change, not just short-term relief. My background includes working with teen and adult women navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, life transitions, and deeply ingrained behavioral and emotional patterns.
My work is rooted in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), with a strong emphasis on understanding the biology and evolution of the human brain. I help clients make sense of how their nervous system, thoughts, and emotional responses were shaped—and how those patterns show up in daily life as habits that may no longer serve them.
I also integrate radical responsibility and mindful self-compassion into my work. That means we don’t stay stuck in blame or avoidance, but we also don’t approach change through shame. Instead, we build awareness, ownership, and the capacity to respond to yourself and your life differently.
While I’m direct and engaged in the work, I’m also laid back and less formal in my style. I believe therapy can be both meaningful and productive and have moments of lightness, humor, and real human connection along the way.
I work best with clients who are ready to look inward, challenge themselves, and actively participate in the process of change.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Ann Arbor, MI
Searching for therapists in Ann Arbor starts with finding someone whose experience matches what you want support with. Ann Arbor therapists may work with concerns such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, and life transitions. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties and approach fit your needs. Profiles may mention therapy styles such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, or trauma-informed care, which can help you understand how each therapist works.
Ann Arbor is a smaller market, so nearby in-person therapy options may vary by neighborhood, schedule, and specialty. Virtual therapy with a Michigan-licensed therapist can expand your options while still giving you access to care from home. As you narrow your search, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, session format, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading therapist bios before booking can help you compare communication style, areas of focus, and what to expect in a first session.
Therapy in Ann Arbor can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Nationally, Headway partners with a wide range of insurance plans, and you can verify your benefits and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. You can browse therapists in Ann Arbor, review profiles, and book directly when you’re ready.
