BHS | Behavioral Health Systems Therapists in Allegan County, MI
I believe that we all find ourselves in stuck places throughout our lives with confusion and overwhelm about where to go and what to do next. It is even more challenging when we are isolated in these places, not knowing who to trust or who will show up for us. This is where counseling comes in as a compassionate space that encourages the person to keep going and to know themselves more deeply in the process.

It is a humbling experience to work with individuals during times of difficulty. The emotions and behaviors of someone who is suffering can be intense. I know that many people, during times of crisis, just want the pain to end and have the problem resolved. Therapy can assist in that process. I believe God has called on me to help others face their suffering and I feel honored when people invite me to help them make changes in their lives. By integrating therapeutic expertise with God's direction, guidance and love, great change and healing is possible.

Life can feel like a lot sometimes. Whether you’re a teen overwhelmed by academic stress, friendships, and the pressure to have it all figured out, or an adult navigating the weight of responsibilities, relationships, or self-doubt, you don’t have to face it alone. Anxiety and depression can show up in so many ways—constant worry that keeps you up at night, feeling emotionally drained before the day even begins, struggling to concentrate, or experiencing an overwhelming sense of hopelessness. It can make even the simplest things feel exhausting, leaving you stuck in a cycle of worry, sadness, or frustration.
