Therapists for college students near Ann Arbor, MI
I am a private practice mental health therapist in Grand Rapids who works with children, teens, and adults. My specialties include anxiety, depression, ADHD, and emotion regulation. I love working with college students as they take the next steps on their journey to adulthood, with all of the challenges and transitions this entails. I am available via telehealth to anyone in the state of Michigan, or for in person appointments in Grand Rapids.
People seek out a therapist for a variety of reasons-day-to-day life stressors, unhelpful thoughts, or significant life transitions. I want to provide people with a space where they can process any of these topics in a compassionate and empathetic manner. Therapy is a journey and I seek to walk this journey by your side while empowering you to explore, identify, and live the best versions of your life. Prior to working at Therapy Today, I worked at Community Mental health for nearly a decade in various roles and with various populations. I have also worked in a residential treatment facility for youth. In both roles, I provided individual and group therapy and I worked with youth and their families in navigating family dynamics and systems.
I approach every client as a unique and wonderful individual. I understand that different therapies work for different people, and will blend theories, modalities and resources to make sure that each person feels heard and understood. I have a focus in substance issues, anxiety, depression, bipolar, and trauma.
I specialize in helping young adults and college students navigate the challenges that come with this stage of life. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, self-esteem issues, relationship challenges, or simply trying to figure out who you are and where you're going; I'm here to offer support. College and early adulthood can be overwhelming. You're juggling social pressures, academics, future uncertainty, and maybe even mental health concerns. My approach is grounded in helping you build self-awareness, discover effective coping strategies, and create practical solutions that work for you. If you are ready to take the next step toward feeling more confident, focused, and balanced, let's talk. We will find a path that works for you, on your terms.
College can be really hard — it definitely was for me. I struggled with the transition, felt lost in who I was, and went through a lot: relationship issues, self-esteem stuff, grief, even addiction. That’s part of what brought me to therapy, and eventually to becoming a therapist myself. Now, I work with students who are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stuck, or unsure of who they are. I know how lonely it can feel when things get heavy — and I also know that healing is possible. My approach is warm, honest, and down-to-earth. I won’t give you generic advice or try to “fix” you — instead, we’ll explore what’s going on in a way that feels real, safe, and supportive. I specialize in trauma, identity, grief, anxiety, and neurodivergence. I’m also LGBTQ+ affirming and really care about creating space for all parts of who you are. Therapy doesn’t have to be scary. You don’t have to have it all figured out. We can start wherever you are.

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.
My therapeutic style is an integrative one that utilizes a variety of tools to help create understanding, comprehension, solutions and/or shifts to achieve relief and healing. My therapeutic approach, while empathetic and compassionate, is lovingly direct, helping to increase clarity and reduce confusion in what is often a confusing time in one’s life, when seeking out therapy. My passion is helping to create the shift from suffering to empowerment to allow you to move forward in the world, with tools learned through therapy, and thereafter, in the rest of your life. As a psychotherapist, I’ve worked with a wide variety of issues, including anxiety, depression, life adjustments, loss and grief, abandonment, trauma, inner child work, self-empowerment and relationship issues.
I work with children, teens, and adults across the lifespan to build self-esteem and confidence, so that you can feel happier and less stressed. As a former student, we might struggle with perfectionism, people-pleasing, worry, family issues, or an inner critic that can make the school year feel impossible. We can work together to reduce the "what ifs" and self-critical thoughts that can come with anxiety, panic, and depression. Everyone is unique, which is why I use a variety of skills and approaches in sessions, pulling from both art and science. No matter your age, I love to bring play and creativity into sessions like art, movement, and writing to assist with self-expression, building confidence, and exploring your strengths. Therapy can be like a laboratory- we can try out different approaches to find what works for you, or we can use it as a testing ground to explore how you'd like others to see you. Prior to landing at Therapy Today, I worked at a community mental health agency that served youth and families, many of whom were first-generation or had recently moved to the U.S. I gained experience treating anxiety, depression, trauma, and helping families struggling with life transitions, loss, and family conflict. While earning my Master of Social Work at the University of Michigan, I also served as a school-based therapist and worked alongside parents, teachers, school psychologists, and other professionals to help children continue to learn and grow. When out of the office I enjoy crafting and painting. I also like to play soccer and go out on walks to connect with nature. When it's too cold to be outside, I spend my time indoors playing video games.
I am currently accepting clients on a short-term basis for crisis counseling. Sliding scale and pro bono services available. My availability is flexible and I offer in person (East Lansing) and Telehealth. I work to help people navigate their complex worlds in order to live a healthier, happier life. I believe that all components of one's life are interrelated. Stress, crisis, life changes and uncertainty happen to everyone, often without warning. When crisis or chaos strike, it is comforting to have someone listen in a safe, open, non-judgmental space in which you can uncover the inner strengths and skills you already possess. I work with clients to create this environment, through which genuine healing, change, and self-empowerment can occur.

I believe you are more than what happened to you. You are also more than the challenges you are facing right now. My approach to therapy is grounded in the belief that meaningful change begins with understanding what is happening beneath the surface. I work with individuals navigating stress, trauma, grief and loss, life transitions, relationship challenges, and the emotional demands of high-pressure environments. My goal is to create a space where you can feel heard, understood, and supported without judgment. My professional background spans social work, crisis response, trauma-informed care, law enforcement, and behavioral health. That experience has given me a unique perspective on how stress, trauma, relationships, work, and life experiences can shape the way we think, feel, and respond. Therapy isn't about "fixing" you. You're not broken. It's about helping you better understand yourself, develop practical tools, process what you've experienced, and move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and resilience. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, emotionally exhausted, or simply recognize that something needs to change, you don't have to navigate it alone. My goal is simple: to help you understand your story, strengthen your capacity to navigate what comes next, and create a life in which you can truly thrive.
