Prenatal and postpartum therapists & psychiatrists in Ann Arbor, MI

Taking the first step into therapy can feel daunting, but you don't have to navigate life’s challenges alone. I am a dedicated therapist specializing in helping individuals heal from trauma, manage panic disorders, navigate complex relationship dynamics, explore identity, and work through alcohol and substance use challenges. My practice is deeply rooted in supporting people through anxiety, depression, anger management, stress, and family conflicts, with a special focus on maternal mental health, pre-partum, and postpartum care. Whether you are dealing with deep-seated struggles like PTSD or simply feeling overwhelmed by daily life, my goal is to provide a compassionate, inclusive, and deeply human environment where you feel truly seen, heard, and understood.

As a board certified psychotherapist, I believe prioritizing mental health is key to happiness and stability in life. Seeking help can be one of the hardest parts, so congratulations on taking that step! I’ve been practicing for 35 years and have worked with all age clients from age 6 to older adults. I work with issues of anxiety, depression, mood disorders, relationships problems, ADH-D, Autism and learning disabilities.

We all face challenging feelings, these feelings are normal; however, sometimes we need to develop the right tools to deal with them in a healthy way. I have a passion for mental health and supporting those on their journey to wellness. I integrate mental, physical, and spiritual health to help clients achieve overall wellness.

Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming, and I’m glad you’re here. As a licensed clinical social worker, my goal is to provide a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you feel comfortable sharing your thoughts, emotions, and experiences at your own pace. I believe meaningful change begins when you feel truly heard, understood, and supported.

I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, eating disorders, life transitions, trauma, OCD, and other emotional challenges. Every person’s journey is unique, so I tailor therapy to your individual needs, strengths, and goals rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach.

My clinical experience spans a variety of settings, where I’ve had the privilege of helping individuals from diverse backgrounds navigate life’s challenges. I use evidence-based approaches to help you gain insight, develop healthy coping skills, and create meaningful, lasting change.

Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply ready to invest in yourself, I’m here to support you every step of the way. Together, we’ll work toward helping you feel more confident, balanced, and empowered in your everyday life

It has been a joy to serve clients for over 17 years. I have my doctorate in Counselor Education and Supervision. I am an associate professor helping to train the next generation of counselors, but still love to serve clients myself. I have worked at a community agency, elementary schools, and private practice. I have served children, adolescents, and adults. I have done individual, couple, and family counseling. I specialize in working with children and teens, though I find it rewarding to work with adults as well. My experience includes working with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, neurodiversity, women's issues, and many more. I have extra training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy.
