Therapists for college students near Ann Arbor, MI
Please visit my profile to learn more about my services.
College can be an exciting time, but it also comes with challenges—academic stress, big life transitions, relationship struggles, and pressure to figure out the future. Many students I work with feel overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain about how to manage their emotions and responsibilities. Some struggle with anxiety that makes it hard to focus, depression that drains their motivation, or past experiences that continue to impact their daily life. If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to figure it all out by yourself. I specialize in helping young adults work through anxiety, depression, and trauma using an integrative, practical approach. Together, we’ll explore what’s holding you back, develop strategies to help you feel more in control, and work toward a life that feels more balanced and fulfilling. My goal is to create a supportive, judgment-free space where you can be yourself, gain clarity, and build confidence in your ability to navigate life’s challenges.
Accepting NEW Clients. I’m a bisexual, cis Asian woman and first-gen college grad from a low-income family. As an immigrant, I know how heavy it can feel to carry so many layers of identity. I’ve had my own journey with mental health and trauma, and I bring that lived experience into my work with empathy and zero judgment. I’m LGBTQIA-affirming, sex-positive, and passionate about creating a space where you can show up fully as yourself. Art and drawing have been healing tools for me and I believe in the power of creativity to support growth and self-expression. I hold a trauma-informed perspective at the heart of my practice, approaching each individual with sensitivity to their unique stories and recognizing the strengths they bring to our therapeutic journey. I accept clients where they are and hold a nonjudgmental open minded, safe space for each person. As an alternative therapist, I am deeply committed to authenticity and utilizing my lived experience to emphasize that you are not alone. My primary focus is serving young and emerging adults, helping navigate life changes, stressors, hormones, and adjusting to adulthood.
I believe, with time, clients have the ability to find a resolution to any frustration they may have, and a strong therapeutic relationship can quicken this process. Throughout our time together, we will identify the changes that best suit you as you work to create the life you desire and deserve. If you feel like something is missing in your life, or you just want the help to make a positive change, allow me to partner with you as we identify the circumstances that aren’t working for you and devise a course of action that will set you on a path to fulfillment. I have helped countless adolescents and adults progress toward their personal goals and build healthy relationships. I work with each client to reflect on their current state, uncover and resolve buried trauma, and improve communication skills. Additionally, I have over twenty years of experience working with adolescents and their families as a middle school counselor. I understand the school system, the resources available, and how to advocate for what success requires.
I am very excited to start working with you towards building a life worth living! Together we can identify skills and coping strategies to help you in daily living. I have many years of experience working with children, adolescents, and adults. I am specifically trained in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Trauma Focused-Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT). I also have training in Strength Based Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Anger Management, and Parenting Skills. I have experience working with individuals suffering from depression, anxiety, and the effects of trauma. I believe that therapy is most successful with a good rapport between the client and therapist. I take a non-judgmental approach to working with my clients so that they feel comfortable sharing their story. I work along side my clients to identify what is most effective for them. I look forward to meeting and working with you!
