I am a licensed therapist in Ohio and Michigan with over 30 years of experience supporting individuals through depression, anxiety, relationship struggles, career transitions, substance use, and the impact of trauma and emotional abuse.
My work is eclectic and intuitive, drawing from cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic, and rational-emotive therapies.
At the heart of it is a simple belief: you already carry the wisdom you need. My role is to help you reconnect with that inner knowing and move toward meaningful change.

I am a certified CAADC addictions counselor and have served in various ways and settings in this capacity.
If you’re having difficulty managing parts of your life, we can work to identify healthy ways in which to cope and uncover patterns that may be holding you back from needed change.
Various life stories and events often have a long lasting effect and sometimes limit our connection to self and our experiences with others.
Learning to get to the root of limiting beliefs and examining their meaning can be important work in our lives. The collaborative process of therapy can ultimately provide clarity along with a path forward, especially when you’re feeling anxious and stuck.

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!

With various experience, my specialties include substance use, trauma, anxiety, stress, life transitions, depression, interpersonal/relationship issues, self-esteem, and addictive behavior.
Investing in your mental health is an investment in yourself and your quality of life. Life can bring joy but can also bring challenges that can be too difficult to maneuver alone. And you don't have to.
I’m a laid-back therapist who believes being human matters just as much as being skilled. I show up as myself—genuine, grounded, and occasionally funny—because healing doesn’t have to be stiff or overly clinical. My approach is direct and I won’t sugarcoat things, but I’ll always meet you with honesty, compassion, and respect. My goal is to create a space where you can exhale, be yourself, and show up as you are.
