Do you experience stress, worry, or panic? Does anxiety interfere with your pursuit of personal and academic/professional goals? I can help you overcome your fears and help you live a more meaningful and fulfilling life. My goal is to provide a compassionate environment in which my clients can learn strategies to attain greater life satisfaction and well-being. My areas of expertise include Anxiety Disorders (generalized anxiety and worry, social anxiety, panic disorder, agoraphobia, and specific phobias), Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, and Body Focused Repetitive Behaviors (compulsive hair pulling and skin picking). I also support parents who are experiencing anxiety or OCD during the perinatal period. I will collaborate with you to develop a treatment approach that meets your needs.

First of all, I appreciate your time reviewing my profile. Here's what you can expect from our work together: I deliver evidence-based, trauma-informed, and culturally competent treatment for a wide range of mental health diagnoses and substance use disorders. In every session, I aim to empower clients with mental health education, acknowledge strengths, and bring compassion and honesty to vulnerable moments in therapy. It is my hope that we can spend time understanding how past experiences are influencing the present and work towards more authenticity and self-led actions in the future. Skilled in Acceptance and Commitment, Solution-Focused, and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy techniques, I assist clients to develop deeper self-awareness and mindfulness, process underlying feelings and beliefs, improve psychological flexibility, and strengthen coping skills as clients work towards their specific goals. I received my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling along with an additional certifications in trauma, sex-informed counseling, substance use counseling, and grief and loss. I use an integrated, person-centered approach to treat a variety of mental health concerns such as anxiety, depression, panic, life/education/career transitions, trauma, struggles with interpersonal relationships and attachment, ADHD, self-esteem, chronic mental health issues, and less healthy coping mechanisms such as substance use, people-pleasing, self-criticism, and other self-punishing behaviors. Please reach out if you have any specific questions/concerns, I would be happy to address them with you. Certifications: LCPC, CADC, ADHD-CCPS, CCTP, CAGCS, CSTIP

Life can feel like a rollercoaster—full of unexpected ups, downs, and sharp turns that can leave us feeling stuck or unsure of what comes next. In those moments, it’s completely natural to question whether things will ever get better. You don’t have to navigate that alone. In our work together, my goal is to walk alongside you, offering support, practical tools, and a safe space to explore what you need in order to move forward with confidence and a greater sense of balance. I am certified in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and draw from several evidence-based approaches—including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT). Together, we’ll tailor treatment to fit your unique needs, values, and goals. I am committed to providing trauma-informed, culturally responsive care. My style is strength-based and collaborative, focusing on helping you access your resilience and developing meaningful, achievable steps that support your mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being. I look forward to connecting with you and supporting you in this next part of your journey.

Whether this is your first time in counseling or you are looking to build on previous work, finding a therapist that is the right fit is vital. I am passionate about supporting clients by creating a safe, empathetic, judgment-free and welcoming space for them to process difficult experiences, manage life transitions and gain insight. While I have been a counselor for about 3 years, I have been working with trauma survivors and building on that knowledge for almost 9 years. My foundation as a therapist was built on advocacy work for survivors of sexual assault, intimate partner violence, sexual harassment and stalking. Additionally, I have worked on several college campuses with students as they manage life transitions and stressors that come with this. Lastly, I love working with young adults in processing identity concerns, grief and loss, anxiety, depression and more. As a therapist I want to acknowledge the intersection of identities and life experiences that impact one’s identity. With this, I strive to be person-centered working collaboratively with the client to set their own mental health goals. Due to my knowledge and interest in trauma work I received training in EMDR and use that as a modality frequently. I hope to see you in therapy and look forward to hearing how I can support you in navigating life stressors and overall improving your mental health and wellbeing.

I have worked with clients from many different backgrounds across the lifespan who are suffering, lost, or just looking for a place to talk. Most commonly, I have worked with people who are struggling with anxiety, depression, OCD, family struggles, relationship stress, and life transitions. As a therapist, I take an approach that is individualized and client-centered. I develop a treatment plan collaboratively with my clients based on their expertise of their own lives. I draw my interventions from behavioral approaches and frequently incorporate self-compassion work with clients. Through my undergraduate and graduate studies, I learned a lot about human behavior. Through my clinical experience and in my own journey, I learned a lot about healing. I am so grateful to serve others through this work every day.

I believe that seeking therapy is a sign of courage and strength. By attending therapy, you may get clarity on difficult issues, obtain objective feedback, and develop individualized solutions that work for you. As a licensed clinical psychologist, my goal is to provide a safe, supportive environment and work collaboratively with you to meet your goals. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Family Community Services from Michigan State University, Master's Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy and Doctorate Degree in Clinical Psychology from Adler University. I have trained in a number of settings including hospitals, schools, outpatient clinics, and private practice. Treatments include child, adolescent, adult, and family psychotherapy. When I am not working, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, traveling, walking my dog, and having a good laugh. You may email me, or give me a call for your FREE consultation. I look forward to hearing from you. Accepted insurance plans are listed below. Your insurance may cover much of the cost of therapy.

Depression, anxiety, and trauma can show up in ways that feel overwhelming or hard to untangle—especially during periods of major life change. I’m Vivian, and I focus on providing a steady, reliable space for you to slow down and reflect. My approach centers on creating an environment where you feel safe and comfortable being completely open about your experiences, helping you make sense of what you’ve been carrying while moving toward something more manageable. I’ve always believed that even in the middle of a difficult season, there is a path toward clarity if we are willing to look for it together. As a Limited Licensed Master Social Worker (LLMSW) with a background in both clinical training and behavioral health, I bring a practical and observant approach to the healing process. My experience as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) has taught me the value of focusing on progress over perfection—celebrating small wins while making plenty of room for the real-life challenges that come with growth. I’ve worked with individuals across the lifespan, as well as couples and groups, which has given me a broad understanding of how we relate to one another and ourselves. Whether we meet in person or virtually, my goal is to help you build the practical coping strategies and emotional insight you need to navigate life with more balance. I often think of my role as providing an objective mirror when things feel cloudy, helping you find your own internal compass. I am dedicated to being a consistent presence in your corner, offering the tools and encouragement needed to help you move from a place of surviving to a place of true confidence and calm.

Welcome. My name is Julia, and I’m here to support you. As a therapist, I specialize in trauma recovery and all that comes with it - depression, anxiety, grief, anger, coping (both healthy and unhealthy), and more. I have specific experience working with people battling substance abuse, and with survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault. I primarily use mindfulness, parts work, DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) skills, ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) in sessions with my clients. Therapy is a lot like exercise - it’s hard to get started, it hurts while you’re doing it… and you’re always glad you did it anyway. The first step is asking for help. This is hard, but you can absolutely do it. You're already here, aren't you?

When I was a student in college, my parents were going through a bitter divorce and I lost a close friend from school and three family members all in one year. I felt as if I was losing my mind. My close friends connected me with a therapist and it literally changed my life. I felt heard, supported and validated and was given permission to let things go and actually focus on my issues and my needs instead of everyone else’s. This is one of the main reasons why I practice therapy and have a heart for college-age students. I was you once and I hope to help just as I was once helped. We all go through seasons in our lives when things just feel too overwhelming or we feel as if we cannot get through it without a little help. I believe that is what therapy is for. It is to help us find our voices and find ourselves again. In the seasons when we feel lost and hopeless, a therapist can help empower us to find the strength to overcome our challenges and heal from our pain. I am a firm believer in the notion that we only live once on this earth. Make the most of it. Heal the hurt. Develop a growth mindset. Live a life that is full so that you can thrive at being the best version of you! I am honored to help you get there!

In my 25 years of clinical work, the majority of my clients want to solve a problem(s) or gain control of their life. Seeking out therapy can be difficult for a multitude of reasons. Reaching out to a therapist is similar to reaching out to a physician, chiropractor or physical therapist; healing! In therapy, you decide the goals you want to reach. I can assist you in determining your goals, if you're not sure of the starting point. The choice is yours! I'm trained in multiple therapies, modalities and wholistic care. I utilize a mix to assist clients in their problem solving/healing process. I specialize in trauma/PTSD, dementia, addictions and cancer. I also work with anxiety, depression, life stressors (work, family, school, health), chronic pain and life transition/adjustments. Life is like a beach, it's different everyday. The sand shifts, the waves vary in size & intensity and the weather is out of our control. We can choose to take a walk, search for rocks, swim, kite surf or bask in the sun. Learn how to ride the waves of life and be the captain of your ship. Choose your journey.

Are you experiencing anxiety, worry, or feeling overwhelmed? Maybe you are struggling with finding balance in your life or experiencing fear of what the future brings. I believe one of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story and patterns of behavior, which can allow you to create positive adjustments for yourself and your life. I wholeheartedly believe in giving my clients a safe space to explore the areas of life that need attention. I work exclusively with women and have experience working with individuals who experience anxiety, depression, pregnancy/postpartum challenges, grief/loss, infertility, TFMR, OCD, bipolar, and trauma. To best meet your individual needs, I draw from several therapeutic techniques, am trauma informed, and am trained in both EMDR and ERP Therapy. My goal is to provide you with a safe place to explore the nature of what has been bringing you discomfort. With support we can create a plan that suits your goal for healing.

My path started by working in alternative high schools, and then as a career counselor in management and business development roles for a few universities and military populations. I have over 18 years of experience working in education, career development, and mental health. My experience growing up in Flint, Michigan, and being the first in my family to attend college, shaped how I view and overcome challenges. I specialize in support for working professionals, especially teachers, nurses, and students with anxiety or depression who are struggling in their careers, education, or relationships. Many feel stuck, burnt out, angry, and overwhelmed. Chronic stress makes it hard for them to connect with their instructors, bosses, and peers. Time management is an issue and constantly trying to keep up. Some may prefer to be alone, even though it leads to ruminating over traumatic work experiences and substance use. My clients have demanding jobs and/or class schedules, and are highly trained and accustomed to solving problems. However, no one is immune to the long-term effects of stress and trauma. I have over 18 years working in counseling, higher education, and career development. My communication style is warm, yet solution-focused, often encouraging you to think from the end, build your resilience, and focus on the future. Some clients get what they need to make a positive change in 6-8 sessions. Others enjoy my long-term support to address trauma. First time trying talk therapy? Congrats on taking the first step. I value confidentiality and understand the college campus and workplace cultures. You do not have to go through this alone. Let's get you out of survival mode and start to thrive. Reach out to schedule your complimentary 15-minute consultation today. I look forward to talking with you.

I am a fully licensed psychologist who specializes in providing assessment services for adults, adolescents, and children. The path to self-understanding can be a challenging one. My goal through testing is to provide a safe place for individuals to gain insight into their behaviors, personality, and mental health concerns. These assessments typically examine the person's history, behavioral observations, and test results to provide appropriate diagnosis and treatment recommendations. I am well versed with psychological testing with diagnosis of attention issues (ADD/ADHD) and differential diagnosis for clinical syndromes. I also offer screening for learning disabilities and autism spectrum disorders.
