What just happened? Why do I keep doubting myself? If you're recovering from narcissistic abuse or a toxic relationship that left you second-guessing your own memory, your worth, even your sense of reality, please hear this: you didn't imagine it, and you didn't deserve it. So many of the people I sit with carry the invisible wounds of narcissistic abuse, childhood trauma, or a toxic relationship, wrestling with guilt, self-doubt, and a quiet inner critic whispering they're not enough. Many of my clients are Christians learning to see themselves the way God sees them. Others come with no faith at all. Both belong here.
I'll meet you where you are. Together we'll sort through the chaos, quiet the inner critic, and rebuild your sense of worth. I use trauma-informed DBT, CBT, and ACT to turn insight into real change. Faith is part of my practice, and if it matters to you I'll weave it in as much as you want; if it doesn't, that's welcome too, and we'll leave it at the door.
I see clients throughout Michigan by telehealth, including Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo, Niles, Benton Harbor, and St. Joseph, and I accept most insurance, including Medicaid. Let's connect. Call or email for a free 15-minute consultation, and we'll take the first step out of the confusion together.

I came to counseling after raising five children. I earned my Master of Professional Counseling and am licensed in the State of Michigan. What I bring isn't decades behind a desk; it's honesty, my own lived experience, and a willingness to sit with you in the hard things and not look away.

Healing begins by getting to know each other, then gently exploring the patterns that keep you stuck. For survivors of narcissistic abuse, that often means learning to trust your own perception again, naming what happened without minimizing it, and quieting the inner critic the relationship installed. From there we build something steadier, rooted in who you actually are and what you want.

We will explore the thoughts and emotions underneath your patterns, find the ones that no longer serve you, and practice new ways of thinking and responding. I believe every person can heal, that our brains are built to change, and that no problem is too big or too small to bring into this space.
