Therapists for college students near Ann Arbor, MI

I have been a Clinical Psychologist for over 23 years and have both the educational and work experience to treat children, adolescents, adults, and families. I often build trust and rapport quickly, while instilling hope and optimism. Therapy is performed both in person and tele therapeutically, helping to ameliorate symptoms and improve overall functioning in those that I serve. Clients will tell you that I am nonjudgmental, open minded, approachable, live by Christian values and I am respectful of all people. I continue to work hard to be an ally, learning from others as they learn from me. Leaning on my extensive experience helping parents and being a parent myself, I apply structural family therapy and cognitive-behavioral therapy as we work on their parental effectiveness, active listening, behavioral management, co-parenting, and affective expression. I really enjoy and have found success in performing couples counseling and often have evening hours that make it easier for both partners to get into therapy consistently. For years, clients have felt relaxed and heard in the sessions, making continuing therapy seamless for many. Regarding diagnoses, I have helped ameliorate symptoms for clients with ADHD, Anxiety, Bipolar, Depression, GAD, PTSD, OCD, ODD, and adjustment disorders, etc.. I have some experience with substance abuse diagnoses, but only secondary as this is not my expertise. Currently, I am accepting the following insurances: Aetna, BCBS, Blue Cross Complete, BCN, McLaren, Mclaren Medicaid, Medicare, Michigan Medicaid, Molina, Multiplan, Optum, and PHP (Out-Of-Network coverage). Finally, being located near East Lansing, I am in a prime location for college students and have helped many with a broad range of issues and have had many clients state that they have had therapists in the past, but have felt more connected to, listened to, and made more progress herein.

I specialize in supporting young adults as they navigate the many transitions that come with this stage of life—figuring out who they are, where they belong, and how they want to move through the world. Young adulthood can be a time of questioning, unlearning, and redefining yourself, especially after years of being told who you should be, what you should want, or how you should show up. At the heart of my work is a deep commitment to helping clients reconnect with their own voice—particularly when that voice has been shaped, silenced, or overshadowed by grief, anxiety, depression, or powerful systems and environments. In a loud, opinionated world, learning to listen to yourself and speak from a place of authenticity can feel daunting. My goal is to help you build trust in your inner voice and feel more confident using it—whether that means setting boundaries, expressing needs, or simply allowing yourself to take up space. I view therapy as a collaborative process, walking alongside you as you explore your identity, emotions, values, and the version of yourself you’re becoming. My approach is integrative and holistic, drawing from art therapy techniques, nervous system regulation, and mindfulness practices to support growth, healing, and self-connection. Starting therapy can feel intimidating, and the fact that you’re here exploring different profiles already says a lot about your courage. I’m really glad you found mine. Let’s connect and explore how we can support your healing and wellness together. Reach out for a free 15-minute consultation—available in person, by phone, or via Zoom.

I love meeting new people, hearing people's stories and unique experiences, utilizing humor, and supporting one another with kindness! In our space, these things are true: Your feelings and experiences are valid. You will be not only listened to, but heard. You will not be judged. I will hold a space for you and your experiences. As much as therapeutic engagement can teach you, I know I will also learn from you. I will create safety for you in the light and in the dark.

I enjoy working with clients to gain insight into the challenges they face and to develop a plan to overcome them. Because everyone comes to therapy with unique issues and values, I use an individualized approach to meet your specific needs, incorporating research-based techniques that draw from mindfulness-based therapies, cognitive behavioral therapy, interpersonal therapy, and motivational interviewing. Providing compassion, support, and feedback, I create a safe and caring environment that promotes growth, healing, and empowerment. I enjoy helping clients discover their existing strengths, find hope for the future, and overcome difficulties to achieve their goals. I have extensive experience providing gender-specific counseling services to women for issues including depression, anxiety, substance abuse, ADHD, domestic violence, relationships, parenting, anger, grief, and sexual orientation issues. I have also completed specialized training in the treatment of substance use disorders and postpartum mood and anxiety disorders. I believe my role as a therapist is to both support and challenge you in ways that help you grow, heal, and reach your goals.

Do tests make you break into a sweat? Stuck in fear of what next steps to take? Unsure of how to make friends? Do you strive to be the person who can do it all, all of the time for everyone-but you're secretly running on fumes? Feeling exhausted or unmotivated? Let's chat. College and young adulthood are hard. Not everyone gets it-and you have some major decisions to make during this time. All while trying to navigate finding and maintaining relationships, working, and getting good grades. And it may feel like you're running out of time and mental energy to figure it all out. This is where counseling comes in. Together, we slow down the process. We create coping skills, find what works for you and give you space to share your thoughts and feelings. We work on building skills you can use now and in the future. This is time and space for you to explore, learn and grow-mostly about you! This is for you.

Hey, I’m so glad you’re here! Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re driven and expected to hold it all together. I work with holistic-minded adults, including entrepreneurs, professionals, athletes, neurodivergent individuals, transgendered individuals, and those with chronic illness or invisible disabilities, exploring identity, creativity, or burnout. I’m very laid back; come as you are. Curse, wear pajamas, lay in bed, be human. This is a space where you don’t have to perform, just show up. Only rule: please don’t drive during sessions or do anything that could harm yourself or others.

Sometimes we can lose our sense of self and feel overwhelmed by our emotions, experiences, and life's responsibilities. Other times, we may lack a space where we can show up as we are, without masking, and have someone join us in our emotional experience. I value creating a collaborative space for exploration, healing, and understanding—grounded in the belief that distress can arise when we feel out of tune with our authentic selves and values, or when we lack a space to be emotionally held. Together, we can create a space where you are heard and where you can explore what brings meaning to your life. I work with clients who may be navigating life transitions, are feeling anxious, or experiencing interpersonal issues. Early on, we will develop a collaborative and trusting relationship, exploring your current concerns and collaborating to find a way to address them. I often use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Person-Centered, and Strengths- based techniques. After exploring what's brining you into therapy, we will work on increasing your tolerance of certain emotions while living a life that brings you fulfillment and meaning.

Have you ever felt overwhelmed by anger you couldn’t control, or so stressed that sleep felt impossible? You’re not alone—and you don’t have to go through it alone. I hear you. Your emotional well-being matters, and I’m here to support you in becoming a healthier, more grounded version of yourself. I hold a graduate degree in Counseling from Michigan State University and have experience working with college students and adults facing concerns such as anger management, stress, anxiety, life transitions, relationship issues, multicultural challenges, and childhood trauma. I believe healing happens best in a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment, where you can explore your experiences at your own pace. In therapy, I focus on truly understanding your story. Together, we will explore what’s happening within you, increase self-awareness, and develop practical coping skills tailored to your needs. Our work will be collaborative and goal-oriented, helping you feel more confident, emotionally balanced, fulfilled, and alive in your daily life. I offer therapy in English, Mandarin, and Cantonese（我提供中英文咨询服务）, and I am mindful of cultural identity and multicultural experiences in the therapeutic process. I also offer flexible scheduling to better fit your needs. If you’re looking for support with emotional regulation, stress, or personal growth, I would be honored to walk alongside you. Feel free to reach out by email to learn more or schedule a consultation.
