You want to feel good about yourself but you don’t. You feel different, like other people don’t understand you, and you just want to be normal. You have so much shame about the things you’ve done or been through that it seems impossible that you’d ever love yourself. On top of that, you’re constantly anxious or depressed about something (or nothing!) and your symptoms leave you feeling like something is seriously wrong with you. All you want is to feel better about yourself and to feel happier and more at peace with your life. You want to be able to be your true self in your relationships and to feel loved and accepted for it.

I am not your typical nor traditional therapist! If you're looking for a therapist who is stuffy and uptight, or if you prefer clinical jargon and lots of big words, I am NOT the therapist for you. I’m the therapist who may show up wearing jeans and sandals one week and a long dress the next. I have tattoos and don’t try to hide them. I will call you on your crap when appropriate, and I might even swear while doing so. I support BLM, LGBTQIA+ and I believe in Science. I may not be a "typical" therapist, yet I am me & I am genuine. If you want to become the best YOU possible, give me a call! I know I can help.

I believe that long-lasting and meaningful change is most likely to occur in the context of validation and acceptance. I approach my clients with openness, compassion, and curiosity. This stance ensures that any treatment plan we develop is comprehensive, culturally-sensitive, personalized, and effectively considers the unique experiences and situations that contribute to the challenges you face. Moreover, although it is important that you experience relief from your symptoms, it is even more important that this relief is in service of helping you build the meaningful and fulfilling life you want to live.

Hi y'all, I'm Malanna, rhymes with Madonna! I’m quite the unorthodox therapist, so I’ve been told, because I approach mental health with the same sincerity that we take with our physical health. I have a lot of respect and appreciation for the people who sit in front of me and trust me with their vulnerability. I'm big on cooperation; pairing your self-insights with my expertise. I'll do my best to help you highlight all of your hidden strengths, buried wins, and natural gifts that life can make us lose sight of. I currently offer telehealth services but I can guarantee it’ll be just as good as seeing me in person!

Hi, I'm so glad you are here! I know that anxiety, burnout, and major life transitions can disrupt the connection between mind, body, and emotions. When these parts of yourself are disconnected it can be challenging to access calmness, confidence, curiosity, creativity, and clarity. You may find yourself saying "I know what I should do but I'm not sure why I don't do it." or "I feel numb, I can't seem to connect to my feelings." Together we will work to understand blockages, support your nervous system, and help every part of you get on the same page, and in alignment.

I believe that with support and the right therapeutic relationship you can make the changes you want in your life. I am a Certified Sex Therapist and I attended the Sexual Health Certificate Program at the University of Michigan. I work with folks who want to fully experience sexual pleasure, but aren't sure how. This may be related to sexual pain, sexual trauma, or an upbringing lacking education about sexual health. My approach honors and addresses situations in the past, but also gives you ideas about how to feel better in the here and now.

I probably don’t need to tell you we’re living in a racist, sexist, heteronormative, capitalist dystopian nightmare in a slow and painful collapse. It’s hard to cope with that knowledge while dealing with day-to-day nonsense, on top of reliving past trauma on a regular basis. It’s a lot and it’s heavy and it sucks. Some people turn to substances and other vices to cope.

I am a Mental Health Clinician with a passion for helping people navigate life's challenges.

Making a commitment to therapy can definitely be a heavy ask but I’d be honored if you took a chance with me and allowed me to take that journey with you.

Because of them, I believed in myself and took the long hard journey to gain the credentials to assist others in a similar way. I am committed to seeing you reach the win you imagine – let’s reach that finish line together!

I thrive most with clients who are navigating transitions in school, work, and relationships. I love to help people find the "new normal" after they've been fired, promoted, relocated, dumped, divorced, blessed with a child, or rocked by a tragic loss. These crisis moments provide unique opportunities to pivot toward what matters most to us as we put the broken pieces back together into something new.

You're the one others rely on. Driven. Capable. Always pushing for more. On paper, your life may look impressive—but internally, you're overwhelmed, anxious, and constantly battling the voice that says “not enough.”
Perfectionism, burnout, people-pleasing—it’s exhausting. You might feel disconnected from yourself, stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, and unsure how to slow down without falling apart. Maybe you've tried therapy before—maybe it helped, but didn't quite get to the root of it.
That’s where I come in.
