Life feels like too much lately. Your brain never stops, your to-do list reproduces overnight, and somehow even small tasks feel huge. You’re smart, capable, and people think you “have it together,” but inside you’re overwhelmed, anxious, and exhausted. I provide virtual therapy in Michigan for adults navigating anxiety, burnout, ADHD, and the pressure to keep going even when you’re running on fumes. Maybe you’re a student, a parent, or a healthcare professional trying to manage everyone else’s needs. Your own needs keep getting pushed to the bottom of the list.
My style is collaborative, warm, down-to-earth, and (appropriately) humorous. We will work together to understand what is going on in your mind and body. From there, we will build practical tools you can use in real life, not just during sessions.
I’m based in Jackson, Michigan and provide virtual therapy across the state. You can join from your couch, parked car, dorm room, or any private space with Wi-Fi. When you are ready, you are welcome to reach out through Psychology Today or schedule a free consultation using the scheduling tool on my website.
