Therapists for college students near Ann Arbor, MI
Life can feel heavier than it should, especially when you're trying to navigate a season of big changes and high expectations. You might notice you're constantly overthinking, feeling drained by a relentless cycle of daily responsibilities, or running on fumes as a high achiever who never quite feels like "enough." Over time, the stress of managing deadlines, next steps, and independent life can take a toll on your sleep, your relationships, and your energy—making it hard to actually enjoy your day-to-day life. My goal is to offer a welcoming, supportive space where you can step away from the pressure and talk openly about what’s truly on your mind. Together, we’ll work to better understand what you’re experiencing, find realistic ways to manage the unique challenges of modern transitions, and help you feel more confident, grounded, and connected to the life you want to live. When you reach out, you’ll connect directly with me. There is no front desk screening, I want your first connection to be as simple, private, and stress-free as possible. The way I work is grounded in warmth, respect, and a judgment-free space where you don’t have to have your entire future figured out. Together, we’ll focus on what you want to change, whether that’s finding more calm amidst daily stress, building healthier relationships, silencing overthinking, or reclaiming your confidence.

I graduated from Grand Rapids Theological Seminary in 2022 with a M.A. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, and from Kuyper College in 2011 with a double major in Bible & Theology and Youth Ministry. My story is a tale of two worlds. I grew up in the country of Haiti, while my adult years have been spent in West Michigan. Both the contrasts and similarities between the two have influenced the way I view the world. And just as my experiences shaped who I am today, the same is true for you. We are all journeying through life, and it is a privilege for me to be welcomed into your story. Of all the people I have met in all the locations I have traveled to, I have found the following to be true: though each story is unique, everyone faces challenges, and everyone has the need to be heard, to be valued, and to be loved. Outside of working as a counselor, most of my time is spent with my family. My greatest joy is spending time with my wife and two kids. We enjoy playing games, reading books, building Legos, playing pretend with dolls and other toys, spending time outside, and being goofy together. My favorite personal pastime is reading, especially the fantasy genre. One reason why I enjoy counseling is because I am given the opportunity to enter the story of each person and journey through it together. My Approach I care deeply about all people and aim to demonstrate that by valuing who you are as an individual and listening attentively to your story. I view counseling as a collaborate process in which we work together to meet your unique needs. There is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to counseling, and so I prefer an eclectic approach. Some I have found effective are internal family systems, cognitive-behavioral therapy, solution-focused therapy, narrative therapy, and mindfulness-based approaches—though I am always open to discovering others to meet your needs more effectively. I place immense value on the counseling relationship, approaching it from a person-centered perspective, and focus early sessions on building rapport. When engaging with children in I also incorporate developmentally appropriate play and art techniques. What you can expect Trusting people is difficult, especially when it comes to the vulnerable areas of our lives where pain and suffering exist. So, you can expect early sessions to focus on building a foundation of mutual trust. Together we will create an environment of safety where you are free to be and express who you are. I will give you my full, nonjudgmental attention as you share your story. Then we will collaboratively explore your needs, set goals, and problem-solve as we journey towards hope and healing.

The inherent dignity and worth of every individual are guiding principles in the advocacy and counseling support I’ve helped develop with people for over 25 years. Challenges we all encounter can overwhelm our regular functioning and cause pain that distracts and obscures access to genuine joy and plans we all have for our best selves and relationships. Using evidence-based practices and focusing on self-determination, I listen and assist individuals with stabilizing their day-to-day functioning so they can plan and get closer to where they want to be in life and their relationships. I began here in East Lansing at the Listening Ear as a Crisis and Sexual Assault Counselor while in graduate school, and still sincerely value active listening and problem-solving. I’m a licensed clinical social worker, certified Michigan teacher and academic consultant. I’ve primarily worked with adults and youth in both clinical, high school and post-secondary settings.

An essential part of our lives is creating and maintaining connections: to ourselves, other people, and the world around us. Sometimes, those connections require extra attention, in order to get the most out of life.

This means that I try to help my clients explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, while practicing to re-regulate their body sensations in the moment.
