Good therapy can change your life! In the decade that I've been a psychotherapist, I've accompanied my clients through breaking vicious cycles, reworking toxic patterns, and creating new habits that promote their flourishing. My advanced clinical training makes me especially effective working with clients who self-describe as perfectionists, people pleasers, over-functioning, and/or highly sensitive.

I offer support and skills to those exploring identity, intimacy, or relational complexity—whether in gender, sexuality, kink, or deocolonized relationships. They may be sitting with grief, unraveling the impact of trauma, or feeling the weight of past experiences in their body. They long for connection but struggle with vulnerability, trust, or belonging. Some feel stuck in cycles of overwhelm, while others are questioning the stories they’ve been told about who they are. They seek a space where they can be seen without judgment, process their experiences, and make sense of the systems shaping their lives.

Therapist

Virtual • Michigan


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.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Michigan

Searching for therapists in Michigan starts with finding someone whose training, specialties, and approach match what you want help with. Across a state as large and varied as Michigan, available therapists and care options can differ between urban, suburban, and rural areas. You may want support for anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, trauma, or life transitions. As you compare Michigan therapists, look for bios that name relevant specialties, therapy styles, or experience with the concerns you want to address.

Practical fit matters, too. A therapist in Detroit, Grand Rapids, or Lansing may offer in-person appointments, while virtual sessions can give you more options across Michigan. Consider appointment times, scheduling flexibility, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading each profile can help you understand how a therapist structures sessions, communicates, and describes their approach before you book.

The cost of Michigan therapy and counseling can vary, and using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket costs. Headway helps you find a therapist with your insurance, view estimated session costs before booking, and choose from therapists who are accepting new patients. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, so you can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
