I offer a judgment-free space where we can work together toward your mental health goals. In our work, we will not just talk through the problems, concerns, or challenges bringing you to therapy. We will also focus on practical tools that can help change how you experience those situations and support you in moving toward a healthier version of yourself. I use a blend of evidence-based treatment approaches that I tailor to each client’s unique needs and goals.
I earned my LMSW from Grand Valley State University and have 17 years of experience across a wide range of mental health settings, including outpatient care, the emergency department, inpatient treatment, and partial hospitalization, along with many other levels of care in between. My additional training includes trauma-informed care, suicide risk assessment and safety planning, and DBT. Clients can expect me to meet them where they are while being empowering, transparent, direct, and focused on helping them reach their treatment goals.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Mississippi and the state of Michigan.
I received my bachelor’s degree from the University of Mississippi (Hotty Toddy!) and my Master of Arts in Counseling from Reformed Theological Seminary. Before moving to Jackson, Miss. for graduate school, I worked with Cru (a campus ministry) for three years on the Ole Miss campus.
While living in Oxford, I also worked as the Administrative Assistant at Grace Bible Church of Oxford for two years.
Through receiving counseling in my own life, my desire grew to sit with and serve those experiencing darkness, hardship, or hurt in their own life. I want to utilize my life experience and education to walk alongside my clients as they uncover and develop their own internal resources.

Find the right therapist for you
Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Ypsilanti
Finding the right therapist in Ypsilanti starts with getting clear on what you're looking for. Consider whether you want support for a specific concern — such as anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or life transitions — or a space for broader mental health care. Therapists hold different licenses (LMSW, LPC, LMFT, psychologist) and bring different specialties, so reviewing a provider's background and approach can help you feel confident before your first session.
Ypsilanti is home to a range of licensed providers offering both in-person and virtual sessions. Whether you're near the Eastern Michigan University campus or elsewhere in the area, virtual appointments can make it easier to fit therapy into your schedule. Many providers also offer a free phone consultation so you can ask questions and see if the fit feels right.
Therapy in Ypsilanti can be expensive out of pocket, but using in-network insurance coverage is one of the most reliable ways to lower your costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs upfront, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a provider who matches your needs and is covered by your plan.
