You have tried a lot of things - including therapy - and you still don't feel right. Occasionally you have a good day, but you're longing to really feel better once and for all.

I have a passion for bringing healing and restoration to the hurting marriages in Grand Rapids, Michigan. I have training in both relationship-healing therapies, like Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy, and brain-based approaches, such as Interpersonal Neurobiology. I have experience working with a wide variety of diagnoses, including depression and anxiety, substance abuse and addiction, and relational strain and brokenness. Also, for those who are interested in a faith-based approach to therapy, my graduate training from Grand Rapids Theological Seminary allows me to bring a spiritual component to therapy by permission or request of the client.

I believe it is a privilege to work with individuals who are courageous enough to face the painful experiences and emotions that often hold us back from being our most authentic selves. It is my mission to provide you with the tools to safely explore your inner world. I will journey with you towards meaningful transformation and behavior change so you can awaken the best version of you that already lies within! I do this in a way that is kind and genuine, and I am truly passionate about the sacred work of assisting others in self growth.

I work with children, adolescents, adults, couples and families on a wide range of personal and family-adjustment concerns. Some people have a clear idea of the problem at the outset. Others simply feel troubled and are having difficulty coping with daily challenges. In all cases, I begin with a close consideration of what is known about the difficulty and of factors that may have contributed to its development. In doing so, I encourage a spirit of collaboration in identifying a treatment focus that includes utilization of personal strengths and capabilities necessary to reestablish a better sense of overall wellbeing.

Do you find yourself repeating the same unhealthy behaviors and relationship choices? Having difficulty navigating parenting? Struggling with healthy boundaries and self-care?

How does it show up in your relationships, behaviors, eating patterns, and even your mood? Let me help you identify the invisible wounds, or what was NOT there for you during your childhood. Together, we'll consider the connection between emotions, behavior, & relationships.

Our many experiences in life shape the way we think about ourselves and the world around us. We use these shaped thoughts to make decisions and form relationships. Many times they are healthy rational thoughts, but at times we fall into an unhealthy irrational pattern that can create chaos in our lives. My role as a therapist is to help you increase your awareness and sort out the chaos. I enjoy building strong therapeutic relationships founded on empathy and respect that shapes a safe environment. Join me in a conversation that will walk you down a path of self discovery.

I believe we all desire to live freely, love fully, be our real, true selves, and become our best selves. I want that for myself, and I want that you. But this earth we inhabit is a broken place, and life is messy and complicated. Relationships can be tricky too. Understanding and managing our own emotions, while trying to live with, and care for others and their stuff, often seems like an impossible endeavor. We all struggle with something or someone sometime, and there is no good reason to face yours alone. Life cannot be done on our own - it is too complex. We need others, others need us, and we all need GOD.

I have worked as a therapist 30+ years. I help individuals with problems involving work, education, relationships, and enjoyment of life. My approach is psychoanalytic and psychodynamic. I work with individuals (adults) and provide emergency services for current clients. I can provide short term therapy, but I also offer on-going treatment for individuals recovering from trauma and other extreme or difficult situations.

I am a child and family therapist, offering child and adolescent individual and family therapy. Overall, I find the therapeutic relationship the most important piece of therapy, and use an integrative approach including evidence-based treatment.

I work primarily with children and adults facing issues related to life transitions. I see many people who have experienced trauma, health situations and who are dealing with life stressors. I have worked with many individuals and families who have experienced the death of a loved one, and have focused much of my practice on seeing clients who have experienced trauma and loss, both physically and emotionally. I feel I am an educated professional who works to offer insight, education and support to my clients. I enjoy working with all ages.

It takes a lot of courage and humility to reach out when you are in a time of need. The fact you're seeking help says a lot about you as a person. As a Licensed Professional Counselor and Family Therapist, I see Individuals, Families and Children (ages 8-17). My primary approach is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) which focuses on changing negative thoughts that affect an individual's emotions and moods. I also use the Nurtured Heart Approach ® to recognize the positive qualities in others in order to help build confidence in themselves and a greater awareness of their situation.

As a therapist, I believe that building a relationship is the most important part of the therapeutic process. From that relationship, it becomes possible to examine difficult areas of your life in order to experience growth and security within yourself. The therapeutic setting provides a unique opportunity to pause the busyness of everyday life and sort through present or past concerns that may be affecting you and your family.

I strive to provide treatment that is both compassionate and competent.

Hello! I’m a licensed clinical social worker with 30+ years of experience. I have worked in school social work, foster care, adoption, adolescent residential treatment, crisis assessment at Pine Rest Hospital, and outpatient treatment. I have been in private practice for 14 years. It is my privilege to listen to, and be with, people in their stories. Making sense of our narrative is a fundamental component to a healthy mind and spirit.
