Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Ypsilanti, MI covered by Cigna

Hello! I am truly glad that you are here.

Meeting my clients where they are allows for true healing and understanding. I believe that you are the expert in your own story. Are you hoping to find a healthier and safer way to approach life's stressors and challenges, while exploring different ways to enhance your thinking and feelings?

As you navigate through your life journey of healing, I wish to build a collaborative relationship with you along the way. I believe that I am just the person to support you and help you achieve your goals. I am a licensed therapist in Michigan with over 10 years of professional work experience. I earned my Masters in Social Work from Wayne State University. I have experience helping clients with relationship issues, trauma, anger management, lack of motivation, self-esteem, and confidence.

I have a Master's in social work and have been practicing for over 35 years. I am very client- centered. My goal is for you to achieve what you are coming for. I strive to do itI t in the least amount of time as possible. I am certified in EMDR and trained in other trauma focused approaches.

I am a licensed therapist in Michigan and a certified alcohol and drug abuse counselor with ten years of experience — and the road that shaped me as a clinician runs through two very specific places. For three years, I worked at the VA, where I developed a deep, hands-on understanding of trauma in its most complex and layered forms. For five years after that, I worked at Hope Network, an outpatient program serving individuals with limited access to resources, where I learned something that has stayed with me ever since: that genuine clinical expertise, offered with real intention, can change the trajectory of someone's life — even when the odds are stacked against them. I specialize in substance use and addiction, trauma, depression, anxiety, and the lasting impact of unhealthy relationships. My work is grounded in CBT and driven by a belief that every person — regardless of their circumstances — has the capacity to become more confident, more grounded, and more fully themselves.

I approach therapy with a problem-solving mindset, humor and support. A different perspective is sometimes all we need to make positive changes. I will be with you at every step!

Hello and welcome,

I’m a dedicated therapist with over 10 years of experience supporting individuals through life’s challenges. I am truly passionate about the work I do and feel honored to walk alongside my clients as they navigate difficult moments and work toward healing and growth.

My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to each person’s unique needs. I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can feel heard, understood, and supported. I believe that meaningful change happens when we feel genuinely seen and empowered.

I draw from a variety of evidence-based approaches, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and other modalities. This allows me to adapt our work together in a way that best supports your goals and experiences.

I have experience working with individuals facing depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, and marital concerns. Whether you are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply looking for support and clarity, I am here to help you move forward at your own pace.

I look forward to the opportunity to work together.

As a licensed master social worker and board-certified chaplain, I believe prioritizing mental health and spiritual care is key to whole health and total well-being and stability in life. Seeking help can be one of the most difficult decisions you'll ever make, so congratulations on taking that first step! My current focus is working with clients dealing with substance abuse, mental health, and marriage and family issues.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with 18 years of experience. I worked with Adults for 14 years and the last 4 years with students in public school. I look forward to talking with you and getting to know all the wonderful things about you.
