Therapists in Ypsilanti, MI

M.A.P.S is committed to meeting the needs of students, schools and the community. Our school-based and telehealth K-5 services, as well as C.H.A.T. - Confidential Help Available to Teens, both provide very experienced and qualified mental health professionals to help our clients achieve stability, health and structure for a successful school experience, and a bright future. We customize our services to meet the needs of schools, because we understand that every school is unique, and requires a service that supports the school culture as well as the individual students. We understand that students thrive when they feel their best, and that starts with good mental health. When grief, anger, addiction, identity difficulties and anxiety go untreated, it can lead to acting out, school failure and even violence. We are here to help, and it's what we love to do. We help decrease crisis events, and work with your staff to create approaches that make students feel safe and important, as they get the help that they need.

Creating and holding space for folks to feel safe in, share, be authentic, be vulnerable, and heal is something I have felt called to do throughout my life. I am an adamant believer that individuals are the experts on their own experience, and that includes providing space to discuss the impacts of various forms of oppression you face. I view therapy as a partnership on a journey toward healing, for which an affirming and non-pathologizing space is essential.

At this time, you may be struggling with problems in relationships, family, work, or conflicts within yourself. Being so close to the problem, it can be difficult to find the solutions. I believe therapy is an extremely effective process for finding these solutions and creating a fulfilling and satisfying life for yourself. As your therapist, I can guide you to identify patterns of behavior, feelings, and attitudes that are self-defeating or standing in your way. I can help you access your inner wisdom, strengths, and resources that will facilitate the changes you seek.

Throughout my career, my primary focus has been working with clients with either severe traumatic experiences and/or extensive trauma histories.I love working and supporting people through life transitions and exploration of identity. I have worked with many clients who hold identities within the LGBTQIA2+ community. I can relate to many of the challenges experienced by members of marginalized, oppressed, and minority communities. A portion of my professional career has included working with primarily BIPOC clients in Detroit, veterans, people living in different-sized bodies, and those who have concerns around foster care/adoption.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with a humanistic approach, which means that I deeply value the possibility and uniqueness of every individual. I am passionate about dismantling systemic oppression and white-body supremacy. I believe that healing begins with unconditional positive regard, and so I invite clients to share their unique experience(s), in an environment of openness without judgment and without criticism. From this place, I believe each person can begin to make personal shifts toward discovering and becoming their most authentic self.

I take a heartfelt, collaborative, and emboldening approach that is consent-based and feedback-oriented. When holding sacred space, I aim to demonstrate how to slow down and be present, access and anchor to our inner light, befriend our shadow and let go of unnecessary suffering, forgive ourselves for our past, learn how to unapologetically be and love ourselves here and now, believe in our worth and our potential, belong to ourselves, trust our intuitive wisdom, and have faith in the process of healing and transformative growth, personally and collectively. Prioritizing BIPOC, 2SLGBTQ+, fat, 1st gen, and neurodivergent identities.

I am focused on helping you live your best life, mentally, physically, spiritually, and culturally, to have a deeper connection with those around you, and finally begin the process of self-acceptance & healing.

I have experience working with family of origin concerns, parent/child conflict, anxiety, depression, identity development, and women’s issues.

I provide a relational connection that allows folks to practice vulnerability, fearless expression, build ambiguity tolerance, process experiences, find self-awareness despite, or without, the presence of shame and guilt. I encourage the practice of trusting self and others; for some of you this may be the first time. You will find me to be authentic, energy matching, adaptive, and at times humorous. We will oscillate from gentle challenges, celebrations, and sorrows which mirrors the ups and downs in life. I offer brief and long-term work, and many folks stay for years. I balance psychodynamic therapy with real life skills.
