Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in Saginaw, MI

I’m a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) in Michigan, and I work with adults who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from themselves. Many of the people I support are navigating anxiety, depression, burnout, grief, identity questions, or the quiet pressure of holding everything together without feeling seen.

I work with men, women, LGBTQ+ individuals, neurodivergent adults, and people of color, particularly those who feel misunderstood or overlooked. Therapy is a place to slow down, make sense of what you’re carrying, and reconnect with parts of yourself that may have been pushed aside over time.

I have had the honor of working in the health system for since 2017 supporting those going through major life changes. I have experience working with grief and loss, trauma, depression and anxiety, new diagnosis or chronic illnesses, life transitions, and relational stressors. Additionally, I have been providing therapy since 2023 working closely with clients to provide a space where they feel valued, supported, and listened to while working towards a better mental health.

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.

I hold two clinical credentials: an LPC and a QIDP — a Qualified Intellectual Disability Professional — which means my clinical training extends across a wide range of presentations, and I bring that breadth to every client I see.

I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, ADHD, maternal mental health, infertility, grief, relationship stress, and the complicated emotions that come with life transitions like divorce and parenthood. I believe you already have the strengths to get through this — my job is to help you find and build on them.

My style is laid back and warm, with a sense of humor that tends to take the edge off. You deserve a therapist you can actually talk to, and I take that seriously.

I've been a listener my whole life — since I was a teenager, long before I had any clinical training, I learned that the most powerful thing one person can do for another is to genuinely pay attention. That hasn't changed. What has changed is that now I have the tools, training, and experience to help that attention lead somewhere. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor based in Michigan. I work with individuals, families, couples, and children — and I see clients across the state through telehealth. I'm trained in a range of approaches including CBT, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Bowen Family Systems, which means I can adapt to what actually fits you — not just apply a template. I'm also comfortable holding faith and spirituality as part of your story if that's relevant for you. I'm not a "Christian therapist" in a prescriptive sense, but I've spent years working as a chaplain and I understand how much a person's spiritual framework shapes how they see themselves and the world. That's a welcome part of the conversation here.

As a licensed clinical social worker with a master’s degree from The National Catholic School of Social Services, I bring extensive experience from my work in university-based teaching hospitals and ambulatory care clinics. My practice focuses on supporting adults and their caregivers through challenges such as anxiety, depression, complex medical conditions (acute and chronic), medical trauma, loss, grief, and significant life transitions.

I have a specialization in guiding individuals and their caregivers through the cancer journey, encompassing every phase—from diagnosis and treatment to recovery, survivorship, and end-of-life care. I have also worked extensively with patients undergoing stem cell transplants, CAR-T and immunotherapy.

My training and experience also includes helping individuals manage disorders of the brain-gut interaction. Support, education and strategies address the connection between the mind and gastrointestinal health. Recognizing that everyday stressors can greatly affect your well-being, I adapt my clinical approach to suit a variety of life situations, always tailoring care to meet your unique needs.
