Ann Arbor, MI 48105
I offer affirming, holistic, comprehensive, and integrative care in Ann Arbor and across Michigan via telehealth. My approach is nonjudgmental, trauma-informed, and grounded in harm reduction, with particular expertise in LGBTQ+ care. I center strengths, compassion, and growth alongside struggles, and provide culturally responsive, collaborative support that honors each person’s identity, context, and lived experience. I believe healing and transformation also need space for humor and lightness, and I work with you at your own pace to foster relief, resilience, and meaningful change.
