Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in Ypsilanti, MI

I'm a LPC with over 25 years in the field. I've helped people through a variety of issues. Whatever is motivating you to seek counseling, I’m here to help. Throughout my career I have seen how helpful & freeing it can be to have a safe & non-judgmental space to explore what you value. I bring warmth, compassion, humor, and insight into my work, and I try to help folks learn something new about themselves every session. This can mean the difference between just living and prospering as a person.

I have worked with adolescents and adults for the past 35 years in various capacities. I believe it is my job as your therapist to walk with you on your healing journey. I believe in creating a safe place for clients to feel comfortable sharing their personal stories. I strive to honor my client's wisdom of self and their experience while also building a relationship of trust and understanding between therapist and client.

**Accepting teen/adult female clients only at this time.**

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.

As a compassionate and experienced therapist, I specialize in working with children and teenagers to navigate the challenges of anxiety, depression, and trauma. I also work with neurodivergent children.

I use a variety of therapeutic techniques tailored to each client's needs, including Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Play Therapy.

I am here to support you and your family on your journey to healing and growth.

I have training in, child development, attachment theory, play therapy, mindfulness, infant and child-parent psychotherapy, perinatal and postpartum transitions, mind-body techniques, couples therapy and trauma-focused therapies.

As a licensed professional counselor (LPC), I am dedicated to supporting marginalized communities and BIPOC individuals navigating anxiety, depression, and trauma. I blend clinical rigor with a compassionate, client-centered approach to create therapy that feels supportive, practical, and empowering.

I am a calm, welcoming social worker that strives to create a space for all of my clients to find their true selves and create a life that works best for them

I graduated with my Master’s degree in Social Work from the University of Akron in 2011 specializing in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and interpersonal relationships.
