Find a Therapist near Ypsilanti, MI

As a Psychologist, I work with individuals in psychotherapy and with couples in conjoint therapy to help build healing relationships.

Clients love my genuine, straightforward approach. I believe therapy should be a safe space to deal with painful feelings and events. I help provide understanding and clarity, normalize how it makes sense we feel and behave, and offer useful guidance. When we have a chance to be heard and understood it helps us feel normal and valued. The root of most issues, individually and in relationships, is not feeling valued, worthy, or understood. Anxiety, depression, conflict, and disconnection are symptoms of these larger, root problems. In the first session, I'll ask you, "What brings you to therapy?" Clients share their problems. I immediately start listening, mapping out the problem, and formulating solutions. What you can expect from me: I am genuine, trustworthy, non-shaming, non-judgmental, and use effective methods. I will collaborate with you to achieve your goals. Client experience me as trustworthy and knowledgeable, and leave feeling helped.

I believe the unconscious has positive intent and therapy helps those to find what that is. My mission is to help relieve people of toxic sexual shame and embrace their sexuality and sexual identities along with sexual desires and fantasies free of shame and guilt

I specialize in trauma and anxiety disorders and aim to help you understand how the body and brain work together to respond to stress. My goal is to assist you in developing a toolkit of evidence-based skills, strategies, and resources to put you back in the driver's seat of your life. I work with service members and their families, first responders, healthcare workers, survivors of natural disasters, rape and assault, on learning how to regulate their nervous system, process grief and loss, regulate sleep, improve interpersonal relationships, achieve professional goals, balance mood, and improve overall mental and physical wellness. My approach is practical and playful, and I draw from evidence-based interventions to make managing mental health simpler.

I see myself as a source of unconditional support, a sounding board and a safe place for others to do the work of therapy. The therapeutic office is a sacred and unique space that gives others space to sort through their experiences, beliefs, and hopes. In my office, this happens in a developmentally appropriate way that allows anyone from the age of three up to work through the struggles that bring them to therapy. These interventions may include traditional talk interventions, experiential interventions like play therapy and sand tray therapy, EMDR, as well as narrative and art interventions. My eclectic approach allows Individuals to choose the best way for them to engage in the process of therapy.

When you’re searching for a therapist, you may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of how to move forward.

In therapy, you can expect a thoughtful and collaborative space where you can explore your experiences, gain deeper self-awareness, and develop strategies to manage challenges. My approach is insight-driven and reflective, helping you recognize patterns that may be keeping you stuck while also providing tools to help you move forward. Sessions are a balance of open exploration and practical guidance, shaped around your unique needs and goals. Therapy is a process, and everyone’s journey looks different. Some people come in wanting to work through a specific challenge, while others are looking for a space to process and gain insight over time. Whatever brings you here, we’ll work together in a way that feels helpful to you. If you’re considering therapy, I welcome you to reach out.

Are you sick and tired of being sick and tired? For 10 years, I have dedicated myself to helping men break out of the rut and live their lives fully. I use Internal Family Systems, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), and somatic therapy to help retrain your nervous system so you can rewrite your story. I practice these techniques and modalities myself. Part of my commitment to you is that I will never ask you to do something I haven't done myself. Whatever you are going through, trouble in your relationships, feeling exhausted by life's demands, or anything else, I want to hear about it. Together, we will shift how you experience life's challenges so that you can begin to think, feel, and live the way you know you are meant to.
