Therapists in Ann Arbor, MI

I value the therapeutic alliance, striving for a collaborative, flexible, and safe journey as we work together on your unique path. I use a holistic approach, implementing both traditional psychology and spirituality/metaphysics to help achieve your goals, develop coping skills, gain insights, and build a sense of empowerment. Common areas explored in my practice revolve around themes such as anxiety/depression, grief, life purpose, relationships, existential meaning, healing, and much more.

"Outsidethebox Detroit Therapy" Learning to go outside of the habitual thinking patterns (the box) to create space for personal transformation. Wellness requires a holistic approach of maintenance of mind, body, and spirt all working in harmony. We become what we think about on a regular basis. If we love the planet we are also loving ourselves.

My goal is to provide a supportive environment where we can explore your initial concerns, develop goals and discover strengths and resources as you move toward what really matters to you. I believe that the therapeutic relationship can be a vehicle for change; therefore, I place great value on working from a place of compassion, authenticity and collaboration. My understanding of counseling comes from many different evidenced based, theoretical orientations. I often draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).

In-person or online — whichever you are most comfortable with.

I believe there is a resiliency that lies within each and every one of us. That strength is what gets us through each situation – even when we thought, “There’s no way I am going to make it through.” However, there are times when things can become overwhelming, and we need someone to listen, and encourage us as we navigate through the difficult situations life throws at us. No matter what brings you to therapy know that it will be a place for you to find healing and a realization of the resilience that already lies within you.

“Life be lifing!” How often are we saying this to describe how hard life can be? Life can throw a lot at us that is challenging to manage. This can often leave us feeling overwhelmed, unsettled, inadequate, and/or stuck. We may not be able to specifically name the impact, but we know we aren’t feeling like ourselves, and our previous coping strategies aren’t helping to return to our “normal.” Taking a step back to reflect and gain awareness can be helpful to make progress. Sometimes we need a supportive person to listen, validate, provide insight, and a fresh perspective to assist in developing strategies that can help us flourish.
