Hi there, if you've been struggling with difficult thoughts and feelings it's possible that they've felt like barriers to doing the things that are important to you. Therapy can help by first identifying what these barriers are, and making a plan for getting you back to activities that create meaning in your life. I provide individual psychotherapy in a warm, encouraging, and collaborative style. I use a blend of techniques that are backed by research to ensure you're getting the best care possible. If you're unsure about therapy please contact me for a free consultation call to see if we might be a good fit. From there if we decide to work together we can begin treatment by identifying what your struggle has been, and how we can get you back to living the life you want. I look forward to speaking with you soon!
I provide women and gender non-binary individuals a soft place to land to work together to heal old relationship wounds. I light up when I'm working with clients around dating and relationships, body image, sexuality, and racial ðnic identity wounds. If you're someone who perpetually worries about not being good enough and doesn't know why, I'm here to help you explore what parts of your personal and cultural history are showing up in the present.

The term Legacy by definition means "something of value transmitted by or received from an ancestor or predecessor or from the past." As I reflect upon my life I noticed people who laid up for me a legacy, a promise and hope. The most influential people who have impacted my life and who established a legacy for me were my grandparents. They established a legacy, it was the legacy of care, compassion, and goodwill to mankind. I saw kindness, love, patience, meekness, faithfulness, and gentleness and these are the qualities I bring into the therapeutic relationships. I am a believer that everyone's birth was triggered in the earth-realm for a purpose. There is a purpose attached to your life. I believe in helping people reach that purpose. Through the work that I do I seek to restore hope, and establish a legacy of abundant life. My goal as a fully licensed psychologist is to create an environment where you feel safe to be transparent to address whatever issues concern you. I look forward to entering into an alliance with you so you may begin the healing process, create a legacy and fulfill your life purpose.
Take a deep breath; I'm so glad you are here! Reaching out for help is hard and searching for therapists is the first step. College life is rough and you didn't expect the transition to be quite this difficult. You're exhausted trying to do all of the things and get perfect grades along the way. You are burnt out and there is just too much on your plate. Whether you are a new student on campus, starting a graduate program, or anywhere in between, I am here to support and empower you. I will help you get back to the most authentic version of yourself as you rediscover the strength and amazing qualities you’ve always had. This is your time to feel seen and heard without judgement while you show up as a person first, not student, employee, or partner. You’re ready to embrace life at its fullest with confidence and grace. You deserve your own attention as you grow into the person you’ve always wanted to be. I consider it the utmost honor to be able to witness you on your journey. You’ve waited long enough; it’s time to take the next step. Call or email me today and let the healing begin.

With three convenient locations in Oakland County, we offer a continuum of prevention, education, and treatment services that span the human life cycle, enrich the lives of children, strengthen families, and rebuild lives.

We treat mild to moderate mental health disorders, including but not limited to depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder. We can help with trauma due to verbal, physical, sexual, or emotional abuse, domestic violence, bullying, or the death of a loved one. At Day One, we offer a variety of outpatient and intensive outpatient treatment services for substance use disorders—group therapy, individual therapy, psychiatric services, family sessions, peer recovery coaches, and drug screenings. Clients are educated on substance use disorders, the cycle of addiction, relapse, and coping skills.
Do you feel stuck in old patterns that are no longer serving you? Are you wanting to connect more with your authentic self and create a life in which you can thrive? Building an inner awareness and understanding of what makes you who you are, is my goal as your therapist! Together, we can help you create a life in which you are able to have meaningful relationships and feel fulfilled. As a trauma-informed therapist, I recognize the courage it takes to start the counseling process. I work with clients from a person-centered, and strength-based perspective. It's my goal to offer a supportive and inclusive space. I am EMDR trained. My specializations include helping individuals who have experienced sexual abuse, emotional abuse, physical abuse, psychological abuse, and/or may struggle with anxiety, depression, PTSD, relationship issues, self-esteem related issues, and family conflict/dysfunction. I am so grateful for a job that allows me the opportunity to meet amazing, resilient people. If you are considering taking the next steps towards starting counseling, please reach out to me, I'd love to help you on your healing journey!
Are you going through a significant life event or change? Or are you ready to work through past distressing memories or traumatic events? Embarking on the therapeutic journey takes courage, as well as finding the right therapist. I specialize in helping those going through significant life events and discernment, individuals who experience depression, anxiety, grief, PTSD, as well as those who identify as LGBTQIA. I prefer to view therapeutic foci through an Adaptive Information Processing Model, rather than through a pathological lens. So many presenting symptoms are actually trauma-related, and that is where healing can start. What if your brain could heal itself? I offer Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), which can be a powerful treatment for PTSD, anxiety, grief, performance improvement, depression and many other conditions. I am trained in the EMDR DeTUR protocol for urge reduction as well (focusing on addictions or other compulsive behaviors). In an effort to accommodate busy schedules, I offer evening and weekend appointments. Together, we will collaborate on goals and a plan while building upon your strengths. I look forward to hearing from you! If interested in EMDR therapy and curious about it, please see www.emdria.org for further information.
Many of the students I see are going through a tough or confusing time. You might feel overwhelmed by classes, pressure to succeed, or uncertainty about your future. Maybe you're dealing with anxiety, burnout, past trauma, or experiences that still affect how you feel or relate to others. Some feel emotionally stuck, isolated, or caught in patterns they want to change — including around substance use. You don’t need to have it all figured out. If you’re looking for a space where you can be yourself, talk honestly, and feel supported without judgment, therapy can help.
We help people understand how trauma affects them as a whole person and work with them to reunify their thoughts, emotions, and body. We have advanced training that can offer symptom relief and a path out of feeling hopeless. The good news is that with time and focus, most people can become symptom-free and manage difficulties from a place of inner strength. Our counselors have advanced training on how the brain and body respond to and hold onto the effects of trauma. Our team understands how trauma can have a lasting impact on people’s perspective, relationships, life story, daily functioning and how its effects can lead to feelings of extreme depression and anxiety as well as being misunderstood by others.
There are many reasons you or your family may be seeking additional support right now.

I work closely with my clients to help them enhance their relationships to empower them, build their resiliency, and strengthen their support systems and natural strengths.

“Courage doesn’t always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying ‘I will try again tomorrow.'” – Mary Anne Radmacher Hello, I am Katelyn. My therapeutic approach strives to create a safe, warm, validating, and non-judgmental atmosphere. As a therapist, I hold space to explore and express thoughts, emotions, experiences, and authentic sense of self. Life is difficult, and my goal is to meet you where you are throughout its challenges and journeys. I am interested in understanding your goals, values, and needs, and together, we can create a plan for our therapeutic journey together. I emphasize factors of culture, identity, and lived experiences in order to gain a holistic understanding of you as a person. I received my Master’s in Social Work from The University of Michigan in 2024. During grad school, I worked with folks exploring gender identity, sexual identity, and processing mental health concerns such as anxiety and depression. Additionally, I have a passion working with folks who have experienced the impact of trauma and PTSD by helping them create a personal sense of empowerment. I can be found spending my free time with my cat (Luna), reading, finding the best coffee shops around town, and watching Michigan football (Go Blue!).
