I have been working in the field of Social Work/Mental Health since 2011. I am passionate about supporting individuals in learning about and processing through the ways life experiences and traumas have impacted them. I find that often times (not always) people develop symptoms related to anxiety, depression & other mental/behavioral health issues because of how they have learned to respond to and survive through traumas and adverse life experiences.

Are you feeling stuck, anxious, or weighed down by the past? You don’t have to carry that alone. Whether you’re dealing with trauma, anxiety, or depression, I work with individuals—especially military members, first responders, and those on the front lines of life—who need a space to unpack, reflect, and grow. I’m a combat veteran and spent 17 years as a sheriff’s deputy. That experience gives me a unique understanding of the challenges that come with serving others—whether it’s on the battlefield or in your own community. I became a therapist because I wanted to help people in a deeper, more lasting way.

I’m Malanna (like Madonna, but make it therapy)! I take an unorthodox, approach to therapy where I believe mental health deserves the same sincerity, attention, and respect as physical health and wellness. I never take it lightly when someone sits in front of me and trusts me with their vulnerability. That kind of trust is a privilege to hold, and I meet it with deep respect, care, and intention. I’m big on collaboration! I believe the best work happens when your self-insight meets my clinical expertise. You already hold so much wisdom about your own life, even if stress, pain, trauma, or just life itself has made it harder to see!

As much as I would like to offer this, I am not here to change/stop/delete your thoughts and feelings. I don't believe that's possible, even if we can sometimes ignore them for a couple hours. More often than not, the time, attention, and energy we pour into trying to get control of these moves us farther away from our values and goals than closer to them anyways. I view my role as a therapist as someone here to help change your relationship to those thoughts and feelings instead, so that we don’t have to wait for them to disappear before living a richer, fuller life.

I love working with people who want to work through past trauma and improve their relationships. Together we will heal old patterns, work with your deeper struggles, and support in your current journey in life. As we work together, we will find the barriers that keep you feeling stuck and watch them dissolve as we work together. I became a therapist in 2019, after going to therapy myself and experiencing how much impact it had on my entire life. I live in Michigan with my dog, Chelsea, and enjoy getting outdoors whenever I can.

I work with adults navigating anxiety, grief and loss, ADHD and other life transitions.
Perhaps you're just exhausted from what life is handing you and you struggle to find yourself in the midst of it all.

Therapy can help you process what's going on so you can better understand what you want for yourself. You can work through difficulties, gain insight into how you respond to the ups and downs, and ultimately know yourself more fully.

You may feel stuck; caught in patterns you can't seem to break. Cycles of overthinking, emotional overwhelm, disconnection or even hopelessness keep repeating despite how hard you're trying. You've been thoughtful and self-aware, yet still feel weighed down by anxiety, depression, and past experiences that are impacting your relationships and sense of identity. If this is you, there is hope. I work with adolescents, young adults, and adults who want more than the surface-level coping, people ready to understand themselves more deeply and create meaningful change.

When should I seek treatment for ADHD?
You should seek treatment for ADHD if you consistently have difficulty with attention, hyperactivity, or impulsivity that interferes with your daily life. Symptoms of ADHD include the inability to sustain attention during tasks, difficulty organizing tasks and activities, being easily distracted, frequent fidgeting or squirming, and talking or interrupting excessively. If these symptoms interfere with your career, academics, or relationships—for example, consistently failing to complete professional projects on time—you should seek an evaluation for ADHD.

How does treatment for ADHD work?
Effective treatment for ADHD often consists of medication, behavioral therapy, and lifestyle changes. Stimulant medications such as Adderall and Ritalin work by altering levels of neurotransmitters in the brain; higher levels of dopamine and norepinephrine are known to improve attention and focus. Therapy works by helping people with ADHD understand the condition, discuss their areas of difficulty, and develop behavioral strategies to manage their symptoms. In some cases, modifying one’s diet and exercise can also help improve symptoms.

Are there specific medications for ADHD?
Medications to treat ADHD are generally stimulants, the most common are Adderall and Ritalin. There are two categories of stimulants: Amphetamines include Adderall, Dyanavel, Vyvanse, and Dexedrine, and methylphenidates include Ritalin, Concerta, Daytrana, Focalin, Quillichew, Quillivant, and Metadate. Non-stimulants and antidepressants may be used as an alternative if stimulants aren’t effective or viable for a particular patient.

How long does treatment for ADHD take?
It’s tough to give an exact time frame because everyone varies. In terms of medications, stimulants begin to work very soon after you take them, generally within the hour. It may take time to identify the right medication and dosage, but the medication itself is fast-acting. In terms of therapy, it takes time to develop skills and put them into practice, but you will likely see improvements within a few weeks or months.
