Therapists in Ann Arbor, MI

Being human is fucking hard. You want to feel better, you want to live more authentically but you feel stuck. Trapped in old patterns and relationships; maybe you see the way out but can't quite break through. You've tried talk therapy before with some success, but need to get to the next level in your healing journey. I offer psychedelic integration and trauma informed therapy to help you heal. We'll work together to learn to feel all of your feelings, and be fully human-in all the messiness and beauty that comes with being a person.

With mindfulness- and compassion-based therapy, I support clients through grief & loss, relationship issues, healing from trauma, and searching for meaning & purpose. So many of the issues that bring people to therapy are natural responses to the challenges we face as human beings. Through the process of therapy, we bring curiosity and compassion to our inner experience; and in the safety of a non-judgmental space, we explore options for understanding and growth.

It is written, "Hope is an anchor for the soul, firm and secure." A popular image of an anchor symbolizes safety and stability. Many people - maybe even you - face terrible storms in their lives: addiction, abuse, fear, loss of relationships, joblessness, loneliness and more. In response to life's storms, people turn to compulsive sexual behavior, anger, substance abuse and food to soothe themselves. These "medications" not only do not work, but create chaos in our lives. Other ways of dealing with turmoil include lying, isolation and feelings of shame, guilt and worthlessness. I offer a refuge to chart a new course.

As a Counseling Psychologist and Certified Trauma Professional, my practice centers on facilitating the transformative journey of healing. I collaborate with clients to co-create a therapeutic environment conducive to exploring and addressing their unique challenges. Utilizing a psychodynamic framework within an integrative approach, I provide a non-judgmental space where clients can navigate issues such as disordered eating, body image concerns, post-traumatic stress, trauma healing, anxiety, and depression.

Therapy is not one size fits all. Therapy should be catered to your individual needs, concerns, and goals. I will walk beside you on your journey, assisting you over the bumps and cracks along the road. We can start wherever you are in your healing and self discovery, as there is no pressure to talk about things that you do not want to. I often hear that others are concerned about starting over, retelling their stories. Well, that is not the case here. You are in control of your story and I am here to listen, clarify and help you write the next chapters you deserve. This is not easy life work and you do not have to do it alone.

Together we will create a personalized treatment plan with a focus on the whole person (mind and body), as every person & experience is unique. I utilize a strengths-based approach to help people identify what they are already doing well, and help them see & build on that potential. Small changes can make a big impact.

Hi there, thank you for checking out my page! I know scrolling through therapists can be an overwhelming experience, especially when you're not exactly sure what you may be searching for.

My hope is that you will grow and heal through this experience and that you will embrace a renewed sense of self and wellbeing.

Sometimes we all need somebody to genuinely meet us where we are at in life with radical acceptance and compassion for who we are and where we want to go from here. But searching for the right person to connect with can be a daunting prospect, especially if you or your loved ones have been met with societal rejection and systematic oppression. As such, my primary goal in therapy is to cultivate an inclusive, warming environment where you can safely and freely express your authentic self, which is why you deserve to know a little about me as well.

Life can be overwhelming. We do all the things we’re supposed to do; we're productive at work, take care for our loved ones, spend time with our friends now and then, but we still end up feeling exhausted, lonely, and maybe even unimportant or unfulfilled. Therapy is an opportunity to choose yourself. It’s a chance to show up for yourself and give yourself the same kindness, love and compassion that you give to those around you. My goal is to guide you through self-reflection and personal growth in a safe and supportive environment and ultimately help you find your way to healing empowerment, and self-fulfillment.

I truly believe that the client-therapist relationship is one of the most important parts of fulfilling and successful therapy.

I am here to help you work towards healing past trauma and the effects it may have had on your life. I hope through our therapy sessions we can together improve any stressed relationships, poor sleep, worry and sadness you may be experiencing through individualized treatment planning.

Together we will practice innovative and creative skills in therapy to overcome waves of emotions, mental breakdowns, overwhelming stress, anxiety, and complex trauma.
