Blue Care Network Therapists in Hudsonville, MI

Do you find yourself struggling with a difficult child? Are you unhappy with the way your marriage is going? Does anxiety prevent you from living the life you were meant to live? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then I am the one who can help! Sometimes it isn't just how we say something that matters, but what we say that can make all of the difference with parenting effectively. Communication is key when building and maintaining a loving relationship. Learning to be fully present and grounded can help alleviate a lot of anxiety and pressure from today's fast paced society.

It makes sense that you feel, believe, act and react as you do. Change and growth rarely occur in a straight line, and being mean to yourself really does not help. If you want to believe these statements but are finding it difficult, I would love an opportunity to meet with you. I am a fully licensed psychologist and enjoy working with adolescents and adults with a wide range of concerns. I believe that therapy occurs within a partnership where together we will make educated decisions about how to approach your goals based on your specific life circumstances, needs, values, and strengths.

All of our stories are different. We have parts of our stories that are bright and beautiful, but we also have parts of our stories that are dark and painful. We may not have been able to control the things that have happened in our story but we can control how we respond and how we move forward. We all struggle to navigate through this life. This life is confusing and stressful. I recognize that you are the expert of your life, you know yourself best. I aim to come alongside you not only through the warm seasons but most importantly the dark cold ones we often find ourselves in.

First of all; I'd like to say I'm sorry if you are dealing with something that feels like more then you can handle on your own. Second, I would like to compliment your willingness to reach out for support, it can be a daunting process. The truth is that these problems rarely exist in a vacuum, nor do they have a straight forward. A number of variables come together and cause us to feel like were not the person we want to be. If your willing, I'd like to help.

It is always a privilege to walk alongside someone on their journey of healing and growth and to be able to hold space for them where they can feel seen, heard and valued. Whether you come with symptoms of anxiety or depression, or have experienced a traumatic event that needs a safe place to be processed, our time together can provide a means of care and support as you find your way forward. I believe that healing takes place within authentic, honest relationships where we are reminded that we are never alone. I also believe that it's possible to live a full and meaningful life, even in the midst of pain and suffering.

I work with individuals, couples and families to alleviate misery and increase wellbeing. MISERY - Depression. Anxiety. Family conflict. Feeling hopeless and helpless, day after day. WELLBEING - Affirmation of one’s value and worth, talents and strengths. Embracing hope. Good health. Fulfilling relationships. Everyone experiences disappointment and pain. You, though, are able to live a full and meaningful life. Embrace hope, be persistent. You will experience joy and meaning in life: “Life’s good and I’m blessed.” These are my focus and my goals for you as your counselor.

Reaching out for help and starting therapy can be a little scary. I would love to create a safe place for you to realize you can be scared and brave at the same time.

Life can be bleak, challenging, and overwhelming at times. Life can also be joyful, life-giving, and hopeful. Holding tensions is a major facet of who we are as human beings. Often feeling in crisis on this journey, trying to balance our approach, and maintaining contradictions of brokenness and wholeness. My own journey has reflected much of this- in many ways I have suffered indescribable trauma; while in others I have experienced life altering joy. Each journey is incredibly unique and complex, and as human beings we have an innate desire to navigate our stories with the love, support, and friendship of others.
