Grief counselors and therapists in Ypsilanti, MI

I have been doing this work since 2009 — which means I have sat with a lot of people through a lot of different kinds of hard. I hold a Master's degree in Counseling with a dual focus in professional counseling and marriage and family therapy, and my career has moved through two distinct chapters that have shaped how I practice. The first half was spent in the world of substance use — working with individuals and families where the stakes were high and the complexity was real. The last several years have been in private practice, where I've worked with the full range of human struggle: depression, anxiety, ADHD, PTSD, substance use disorders, parenting stress, and the disorienting moments when life shifts beneath your feet. I work with individuals, couples, and groups. Very few things surprise me at this point — and that's exactly what makes this work feel safe.

I've been working in this field over 11 years. I received my masters degree in 2013 and have obtained multiple trainings and certifications since then to best help the clients I work with.

I have experience working in Community Mental Health and private practice along with working for the military.

I really enjoy helping the LGBTQIA+ community, working with other therapists, helping those with chronic issues including health, pain and life stressors. I love helping people live their best lives.

Is your child struggling with anxiety, depression, or trauma? Parenting in today’s world is harder than ever, and you don’t have to navigate these challenges alone. I offer a safe, supportive space where your child can develop coping strategies, emotional awareness, and inner resilience. Together, we can help your child build the skills they need to thrive, while also providing you with the tools to support them at home.

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.

Navigating a new or overwhelming health challenge—or simply trying to hold your daily life together—can leave you feeling entirely alone, even when surrounded by your family and friends.

I provide online therapy to adults of all ages across Michigan. I specialize in helping individuals manage intense life stressors, navigate major pivots, and process the unique emotional toll of health-related anxiety, acute trauma, TBIs, and chronic illness

Together, we will use a solution-focused approach, blending practical cognitive tools (CBT) with somatic (body-based) therapy and advanced trauma processing like the Flash Technique. My goal is to help you process the present moment while building a sustainable foundation so you can regain control of your life long-term.

When you are already physically and emotionally exhausted, reaching out for help is intimidating. Let's start with a relaxed, no-pressure call to see if we are good fit.
