Therapists in Ypsilanti, MI

Living with a mental health condition is a difficult path to walk. It can seem like there is no way out, but there is. Sometimes we struggle with the relationship with ourselves. This can happen through depression, anxiety, trauma or just a turn in life circumstance. When these things happen, we can find ourselves feeling isolated and alone. We often can end up developing coping strategies that may end up being unhelpful. Sometimes we try to manage our mental health with substance use. This feels as if it works… for a time.

Hi there, I'm so happy you're here! I am a neurodivergent psychotherapist with a lot of passion for helping others on their path to exploring and accepting their truest selves. I have vast experience providing support to those of all ages and backgrounds and mental health happens to be one of my special interests. I have a neurodivergent-affirming, LGBTQIA+ affirming, and trauma-informed approach to therapy and would love to be of support to anyone embarking on their journey to figure out who they truly are.

These are difficult and troubling times for many of us. There is a lot of uncertainty about the future, and a fair number of people feel isolated, and afraid. I have over 20 years' experience as a psychotherapist as well as training in theatre, especially improvisation. I can offer you skills to get past fear, challenge your thinking, and connect with all of your possibilities. I use a combination of evidence-based techniques, including improvisation and creative arts, to help you get past your "comfort zone."

Welcome! Taking this first step can be scary, but you did it and I hope that you’re proud of yourself for doing so! My goal is to help you discover your authentic self while enhancing your ability to handle life's challenges. We will work together to learn how to most effectively navigate your life and gain a balanced perspective.

Are you going through a difficult time in your life? Need someone to talk to? I would like to be there for you. My supportive and collaborative approach is tailored to each clients' unique background and values to help you develop the skills and knowledge needed to manage the demands of daily life. By providing you a supportive, confidential, empathic space, we will explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences in order to learn from the past and help better your life for the future. My eclectic approach will incorporate principles from various theoretical approaches to help guide you in achieving your goals.

I have worked with adult individuals struggling with substance use/addiction, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, LGBTQIA+ issues, life transitions, and stress.

It’s an honor to come alongside a soul in their journey through life’s challenges and transitions. It's my desire to support the personal evolution and transformation of others through radical acceptance, mindfulness and mind-body integration. I enjoy working with client's who want to go deep and bring the hidden aspects of themselves into the light to receive compassion and healing. I believe in a holistic approach that includes the mind, body and spirit in the healing process and that connecting to the innate intelligence of our bodies can help us to regulate and increase empowerment and vitality.

I completed my clinical social work degree in 2013 and I've been practicing therapy ever since. I use an integrative, trauma-informed approach that may incorporate interpersonal, psychodynamic and somatic frameworks. I am also trained in EMDR. I understand that seeking therapy is a vulnerable thing to do and I will work with you to create a safe place for addressing the needs you bring to the table. I work most often with anxiety, grief, trauma and interpersonal issues.

Are you ready to take the journey into self discovery, maybe your ready to move towards making positive changes in your life, or maybe you are just in need of someone to partner with you, to walk with you through your struggles, if so.... then perhaps it's time to call?

Over the course of our lives, we learn effective responses to difficult life events and systemic ways of being in society. Sometimes, these core beliefs and skills become 'dysfunctional' and block us from experiencing our best and unique selves later in life. I help individuals, couples and families to work through these, in order to access, experience and express their own inner wisdom and joy. In a safe and comfortable space, people feel seen and heard, they heal and grow strong and experience joy.

I believe therapy is a journey of self-discovery, healing, change, and growth. Trust, compassion, empathy, and validation are essential to a healthy therapeutic relationship and healing. Are you are struggling with depression, anxiety, PTSD or any emotional/mental problems that are causing dysfunction or chaos in your life? Do you struggle with relationship issues, self-esteem/confidence, and self-worth? Are you ready to heal the past, learn how to live in the present moment, and have hope for a happy and healthy future? If so, I am here to help you make the changes in your life that you need, want, and deserve.

At this time, you may be struggling with problems in relationships, family, work, or conflicts within yourself. Being so close to the problem, it can be difficult to find the solutions. I believe therapy is an extremely effective process for finding these solutions and creating a fulfilling and satisfying life for yourself. As your therapist, I can guide you to identify patterns of behavior, feelings, and attitudes that are self-defeating or standing in your way. I can help you access your inner wisdom, strengths, and resources that will facilitate the changes you seek.

I take a heartfelt, collaborative, and emboldening approach that is consent-based and feedback-oriented. When holding sacred space, I aim to demonstrate how to slow down and be present, access and anchor to our inner light, befriend our shadow and let go of unnecessary suffering, forgive ourselves for our past, learn how to unapologetically be and love ourselves here and now, believe in our worth and our potential, belong to ourselves, trust our intuitive wisdom, and have faith in the process of healing and transformative growth, personally and collectively. Prioritizing BIPOC, 2SLGBTQ+, fat, 1st gen, and neurodivergent identities.

NOT accepting new clients..... Raising children is not easy. Whether they are 5 years old or 15 years old, challenges can arise. While understanding the demands of being a parent (and a kid) in this day and age, I take a straightforward approach to address difficulties head on. I work with parents to gain a better understanding of how they can improve their child's quality of life while simultaneously finding fun, creative, and engaging ways to teach youth coping strategies to use at home and school. Having worked with children and adolescents for the last 15 years, I possess great skills in connecting with youth of any age.

I believe change is possible when people feel safe, supported, and empowered to make the life changes they want to see for themselves. I think we are all born with a story, however, through empowerment and self-awareness we are able to write the chapters of our lives that align with our most authentic selves. I strive to provide a comfortable and safe therapeutic environment for my clients to be able to openly discuss any life challenges they may face.

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.

Life is hard. Anger and sadness are natural responses to a world that can be unfair. Perhaps these feelings have strained your relationships with others, made it difficult to handle your day-to-day responsibilities, or damaged your self-esteem. When we learn to manage our dissatisfaction and form deeper connections to the people and things that bring us joy, life becomes exponentially more satisfying.
