Anxiety and overwhelm
Practical, evidence-informed work on anxiety, sustained stress, and the daily patterns that keep them running.
Life transitions
Career change, divorce, identity shifts, the late-thirties and mid-life questions. Steady company through unsteady ground.

Lake Orion FAQ.
- Do you see clients in person in Lake Orion?
- Yes, in-person sessions are available in Lake Orion on Tuesdays and Thursdays by appointment. For most other clients, telehealth is the easier option and is offered throughout Michigan.
- What insurance do you accept?
- The practice operates on a self-pay basis. Many clients with out-of-network mental health benefits submit a superbill for partial reimbursement — call your insurer and ask for your out-of-network mental health benefit details.
- How do I know if you are the right fit?
- The clearest answer comes from a first session. It is structured as an introduction rather than a deep dive. If after that conversation it doesn't feel like the right fit, you are not obligated to continue.
- What is the cancellation policy?
- Sessions cancelled with at least 24 hours' notice are not charged. Same-day cancellations and no-shows are billed at the full session rate, since the time has been held for you.
