Therapists for college students near Ann Arbor, MI

I work with teens and college students to help them deal with anxiety, depression, stress, relationship concerns. I also help people who are stressed out and need some clarity about big decisions such as whether to change majors. I use Solution Focused Therapy which means I'll help you get a clear idea of what you want things to look like in the immediate future and then help you use your current strengths and past successes to make it happen. I'll help you get ideas for small but do-able changes to start with, and these small changes add up to big change.

I’m passionate about supporting children, adolescents, and adults as they navigate the impact of trauma and life’s many challenges. My approach is grounded in the belief that healing happens through genuine connection and that you are the expert in your own story. Together, we will move at a pace that feels right for you, gently exploring and processing distressing thoughts, feelings, memories, and behaviors. Whether you’re struggling with PTSD, anxiety, depression, addiction, or ADHD, I offer a supportive, strength-based space where you can feel seen, heard, and empowered to move toward clarity and balance. I draw on a range of evidence-based therapies, including EMDR, Trauma-Focused CBT, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) tailoring these approaches to your unique needs and goals. Compassion, curiosity, and respect guide every step of our work together. As a trained EMDR therapist, I offer this powerful, healing approach when we mutually decide it’s a good fit. EMDR can help your mind and body process distressing experiences and restore a greater sense of calm and stability. My role is to walk alongside you on this journey helping you build insight, resilience, and meaningful tools that support lasting change.

I am a graduate of the Wayne State University/DMC General Adult Psychiatry Residency Program and am board certified by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology. My practice centers on providing comprehensive diagnostic evaluations and personalized treatment for a wide range of psychiatric conditions, including mood disorders, depression, anxiety, and trauma-related disorders. I take a holistic and collaborative approach to care, integrating various treatment modalities such as psychotherapy, behavioral modification techniques, medication management, and lifestyle changes. My goal is to support each patient in achieving lasting wellness by addressing both the emotional and physical aspects of mental health. All sessions are conducted via secure video visits for your convenience. I strive to make scheduling seamless and flexible, so appointments can easily fit into your routine. If you feel this may be a good fit for your needs, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I look forward to working with you.

I believe that everyone deserves to be mentally well, and that counseling can be an important part of this journey. I strive to create a safe space where you can engage with vulnerability and self-reflection. A core tenant of my practice is that you are the expert of your own life. This is why I emphasize collaboration and self-determination in the therapeutic relationship and encourage you to explore your own values, strengths and goals in therapy. I enjoy helping clients navigate the many challenges and transitions of life, and strive to be part of the system that supports their wellness and joy. My hope is that through the counseling process you can better tackle the challenges that come your way, learn new ways of coping, and take steps towards meeting your unique goals. My areas of focus include anxiety, stress, compulsive over-eating, body image, perinatal issues, and life transition concerns.

Are you trying to reach your goals, but feel like you're running in circles? We can help with improving your happiness, addressing a problem-area in your life, or whatever else you want to focus on. One-size-fits-all counseling doesn't work, so each client's action plans are based on what works best for them. We believe in a mind-body-spirit approach where we need to have Harmony between all three to feel truly fulfilled. Warmth and insight are the foundation of our sessions, especially as we understand we all need someone to be ourselves with. Life can be challenging at times, but we don't have to go through it alone. Please don’t hesitate to contact us with any questions or for more information!

There is no specific criteria that determines who needs or would benefit from having someone to talk to. Therapy is a process. My personal mission is to make sure that each individual that I encounter feels heard, empowered, connected and supported. EWOL provides comprehensive mental health therapy for adolescents(16+), adults, and families dealing with various concerns(anxiety, depression, life transitions, relational issues etc.). This personalized approach is designed to support individuals on their path to empowerment and self-discovery.

My journey has been a ride so far. I have experienced life's awe inspiring highs, and life's darkest of lows. It is through it all, through the elations of life and through its sorrow, I have learned so much. I have learned that matters of the heart can be so hard, so hurtful, and at times make life seem unfair. However I have also learned that no matter our standing in life, there is something that is universal to the human experience, and that is we are hard wired for connection. At our core we long for connection, we want to be heard, validated, and loved. My journey thus far has made me a better person, a better husband, a better father, and a better therapist. I love woodworking, I also love BBQ'ing or smoking meat in a real old school smoker, using real wood! I also love learning, love reading, and I love to write. I have been married to my best friend for going on 26 years! We have two daughters, 18 and 24. I love the University of Michigan, The Detroit Tigers, Lions, and Redwings!

I believe that every person already has what they need to heal, but sometimes our “okay-ness” gets stuck under layers of self-protection and hurt. I believe that therapy is a collaborative process that involves peeling back the layers that help protect you, to remove what no longer serves you, so you can get to your true authentic self.

I enjoy being a comforting confidant to others who are struggling. My goal as a therapist is to invite you into a safe environment and to be a conduit of empowerment, education, and healing. The therapeutic process is an invitation to heal, grow, and confidently move forward in achieving your goals and dreams. I use a diverse approach in sessions composed of the following theories: Person-Centered, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and inner healing prayer. I obtained a BA in Psychology from the University of Nevada Reno and an MA in Counseling from Cornerstone University. My favorite internship experience was at the campus center working with college students just like you! I have 6.5 years of experience working in an inpatient setting as a group therapist, crisis counselor, and discharge planner in the California Bay Area. I worked with many people who had layers of trauma, severe mental illness, and homelessness. This experience taught me the true value of nonjudgmental listening and the significance of supportive advocacy. In addition, I have 6 years of experience working as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) providing Applied Behavioral Analysis and support to children with Autism. I am excited to relocate to Michigan to be close to family once again and to have the opportunity to counsel at Hope and Wholeness Psychology Center. In my free time, I enjoy time with family and friends, hiking, crafting, cooking, and tea parties.

Life is a journey of ups and downs, and we are not given a manual on how to live a happy and fulfilling life. We learn and grow from our past experiences and sometimes we get stuck and continue to make the same decisions until we acknowledge them so we can move on. When we know better, we tend to do better. We are all worthwhile individuals that are capable of change with a little help, encouragement, and empowerment. If life is not going the way you want it to, today is another day to make new choices and begin a path in a new direction. Are you willing to invest in yourself and make the changes needed to live your best life? I have experience working with Grief, Depression, Anxiety, Mental Health Disorders, Addictions, Domestic Violence, Child Abuse, ADHD, Trauma, Sex Offense, Survivors, and PTSD. I see clients of all ages. I have experience in individual, family, and group therapy. Therapeutic settings include Behavioral Health, CMH, Jail, Home Visits, Foster Care, and Prison. I strongly believe that life is what we make it. We are not all placed in the world with perfect families and childhoods. Sometimes we need to do our own personal work to leave behind the things that are not working for us anymore. If you need someone to help you work things out, find out what you want out of life, and support you in the process I can help.
