Finding the right therapist is about more than credentials or picking the first name in a directory. I provide virtual therapy for adults across Michigan who may be dealing with anxiety, overthinking, burnout, perfectionism, relationship stress, or a major life transition. My approach is warm, conversational, and practical. You can start with a free 15-minute Zoom consultation so we can meet, talk about what you’re looking for, and decide whether working together feels right

Yes. I frequently work with adults who feel anxious, overwhelmed, burned out, or mentally exhausted from thinking about everything all the time. You may be doing well on paper while privately feeling stretched too thin, questioning yourself, struggling to turn your brain off, or wondering why everything feels harder than it “should.” Therapy can help you understand those patterns, develop practical ways to manage anxiety and stress, and create a life that feels more manageable, not just one you’re managing to get through.

Yes. Many of the women I work with are capable, responsible, and accustomed to being the person other people can count on. Sometimes that comes with perfectionism, difficulty setting boundaries, overthinking decisions, feeling guilty saying no, or putting your own needs last. Our work can focus on quieting some of that pressure, trusting yourself more, and figuring out what you actually want—not simply becoming better at carrying everything.

Absolutely. You don't have to be in crisis or have a clear diagnosis to benefit from therapy. Sometimes the reason for reaching out is simply, “I'm functioning, but I'm exhausted,” “I don't feel like myself,” or “I know something needs to change, but I don't know what.” Therapy gives us room to slow things down, understand what has been weighing on you, and figure out what would actually help.

I accept several major insurance plans for online therapy in Michigan, including Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS), Blue Care Network (BCN), Aetna, and UnitedHealthcare. Coverage and your individual cost depend on your specific plan, so your benefits will be verified before your first therapy appointment. If you prefer not to use insurance, self-pay sessions are $165 per session.

Yes. My practice is fully virtual, so I can provide online counseling to adults located anywhere in Michigan during their appointment. That includes Metro Detroit communities such as Detroit, Royal Oak, Ferndale, Birmingham, Ann Arbor, and surrounding areas, as well as clients elsewhere throughout the state. You can attend therapy from a private, comfortable location without adding another commute to your day.

Online therapy is much like meeting with a therapist in person, except we meet through a secure video platform. In our first sessions, I'll want to understand what's been going on, what feels difficult right now, and what you'd like to be different. You don't need to arrive knowing exactly what's “wrong” or what you're supposed to talk about. Part of my job is helping you figure that out.

I draw from evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), person-centered therapy, solution-focused approaches, and positive psychology. But you don't need to know which type of therapy you need before you come in. We'll figure out what approaches and tools make sense for you, rather than trying to make you fit into one particular therapy model.

Yes—and boundaries are about much more than learning how to say “no.” We can look at why setting a boundary feels uncomfortable, why you feel responsible for other people's reactions, and what happens when your own needs conflict with what someone else wants from you. The goal isn't to stop caring about other people. It's to make room for yourself in the equation, too.

Yes. Anxiety, perfectionism, and years of looking outside yourself for reassurance can make even ordinary decisions feel surprisingly difficult. Therapy can help you recognize when anxiety is driving the decision-making process, become more comfortable with uncertainty, and build confidence in your own judgment. You don't need to become 100% certain about every decision; we can work on trusting yourself even when certainty isn't available.

That's completely okay. You don't need to arrive with a diagnosis, a perfectly articulated goal, or even a clear explanation for why you're struggling. Maybe you're overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected from yourself, facing a transition, or simply thinking, “I can't keep doing things exactly like this.” That's enough of a place to start. We can figure out the rest together.

A previous therapy experience that wasn't helpful doesn't mean therapy can't be helpful for you. The relationship and fit between you and your therapist matter. My style is warm, collaborative, conversational, and practical. I won't expect you to perform therapy “correctly,” and I don't believe every person needs the same approach. We'll talk openly about what is and isn't helping and adjust our work accordingly.

There isn't one timeline that works for everyone. Some people want short-term therapy focused on a specific problem or life transition, while others find ongoing therapy useful for deeper patterns, anxiety, relationships, boundaries, or personal growth. We'll regularly talk about what you're getting from therapy and whether continuing still feels useful to you.

Yes. I offer a free 15-minute Zoom consultation before scheduling your first therapy session. It's an opportunity to meet me, ask questions, tell me a little about what you're looking for, and get a sense of whether I might be the right therapist for you. There is no expectation that you schedule therapy afterward.
