Contact Hillside Counseling

Reaching out for the first time can feel tender. Whether you’re overwhelmed, numb, burned out, or simply sensing that something in you is asking for support, you don’t have to navigate that alone. This is a space where you can slow down, feel into what you need, and explore whether working together feels like the right next step.

I offer a warm, grounded, low-pressure consultation to help you get a sense of fit and ask any questions you have.

Start With a Free 15–30 Minute Video Consultation

A low-pressure space to ask questions

Our consultation is a simple video call where we can connect face-to-face. There’s no performance, no expectation to “tell your whole story,” and no pressure to commit. The goal is simply to meet each other, understand what you’re hoping for, and explore how therapy might support you.

You’re welcome to bring questions about:

  • My approach, training, and therapeutic style
  • What trauma-informed, somatic, and experiential therapy feels like in real time
  • What you’re noticing internally and what you want support with
  • What therapy could look like for the pace your body and nervous system need

What to expect after you reach out

After you contact me:

  • You’ll receive a personal reply within 1–2 business days.
  • We’ll schedule your free consultation at a time that works for you.
  • If we decide to work together, I’ll send a brief intake questionnaire and help you get set up on my secure telehealth platform.
  • You’ll always have space to move at the pace that feels right for your system.

Important Information Before You Reach Out

Adults 18+ in Michigan only

Because I’m fully online and licensed in Michigan, I’m able to work with clients who:

  • Are 18 or older
  • Reside anywhere in the state of Michigan
  • Prefer online therapy or need flexibility for their schedule

Online therapy only (telehealth)

All sessions are held through a secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth platform. Many clients appreciate the comfort, privacy, and accessibility of doing depth-oriented work from home.

Private-pay practice with superbills available

I’m a private-pay practice, which means I don’t work directly with insurance. However, I’m able to provide monthly superbills that you can submit for potential out-of-network reimbursement. If you have questions about payment, reimbursement, or how private-pay therapy creates more spacious, collaborative treatment, I’m happy to talk that through with you during the consultation.

Not a crisis service

Hillside Counseling is not able to provide crisis response, emergency psychiatric care, or same-day crisis intervention. If you are in immediate danger or feel unable to keep yourself safe, please contact:

  • 988 (call, text, or chat)
  • Your local emergency services
  • Your nearest emergency room

If You’re Ready, I’m Here

Schedule your consultation

If something in you is ready to reach out—even if it’s just a quiet part—I’d be honored to connect. You don’t have to know exactly what you need yet. You don’t have to be “ready” in any polished or perfect way.

Just bring yourself as you are.

A gentle invitation forward

Therapy is not about fixing you. It’s about slowing down, feeling what’s true in your body, reconnecting with the parts of you that have been carrying too much, and discovering the pathways toward relief, connection, and aliveness. If you feel a pull toward this work, I’m here.

Reach out when you’re ready.
