Therapists for college students near Ann Arbor, MI
I practice from the framework that our minds and bodies are deeply connected. Exploring how they impact one another is important for our overall health and wellness. It is important for me to practice from a holistic and person-centered space. Everyone I work with will have a different experience. I tailor treatment to meet the needs of the client and families. Most often, I utilize Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, Acceptance and commitment therapy, motivational interviewing, and talk therapy. As well as a host of various techniques to provide you and your family with the best outcome possible. You are the expert of your life. I work to be curious about your experiences and provide new perspectives. I am honored to be a guide on your journey to self-discovery and wellness.

I specialize in working with sexuality, gender, and relationships through an anti oppressive attachment based lens. I am trained to work with couples/relationships and see many 2SLGBTQIA+ and non monogamous/polyamorous relationships. I provide Trans, Non-Binary, and Queer affirmative care. My training is in Marriage and Family Therapy, which basically means I have extensive training in working with more than one person in the room as well as considering relational context even when I am seeing an individual person. I practice relationship/marriage/premarital therapy through an attachment based lens and am trained in The Developmental Model of couples work. I have also completed Gottman Level 1 and incorporate that training when useful. I am trained in Brainspotting and find the clients seeking to process difficult experiences and/or move through areas in which they feel stuck benefit from this modality. I provide sex therapy through sex and pleasure positive lenses.
