Divorce Therapists in Grand Rapids, MI

An individual once asked what I did for a living and what it taught me. After a moment, I offered spending time with people that life has stomped on and I learned how resilient people can be. Professional experience has focussed upon treatment and evaluation for those who have faced severe life trauma. This has included combat veterans, abuse victims, as well as medical and environmental catastrophe. A respect for families and children under stress prompted work with issues such as divorce , custody, parental rights and adoption. Experience with militay personel, and others who were resilient under extreme stress fostered work in assessing and develping leadership in roles such as corporate psychology and career development.

Life can be challenging. Sometimes the obstacles you face are relatively simple and you can work through them on your own, while other times they are more than you feel equipped to manage alone. I believe this is exactly what therapy is intended for. Whether you’re facing a normal life adjustment such as a new child, a new job, navigating the break-up of a relationship, or significant conflict within your family, I am here to help you process through your experience. I strive to create a space of mutual respect, trust, and awareness where you can begin the work of restoration.

My vision is to help clients get away from dysfunction to full potential, to help them live a life worth living. I enjoy clients who do not feel "in-tune" with themselves because of past experiences & it is important to me to help realign their lives in order to be intentional about who they want to be, what boundaries they want for life, & also to help them take care of themselves. Whether your struggles are a result of past trauma, divorce /broken relationships, life transitions & changes, or whether it is just a little bit of adjustments needing to be made, set aside the politics/pressure of the world, I want to help YOU!

Counseling is an important way to invest in your health and future. For some, counseling can be a way to work through difficult life seasons, including career transition, parenting or relationship stress, divorce , or grief/loss. For others who may have a history of abuse, depression, anxiety, or other condition, counseling can help one learn to manage symptoms and to pursue a life of joy and contentment. For couples or families, for whom old ways of connecting and resolving problems are no longer working, psychotherapy provides a way to explore how a situation began and to develop new ways of resolving difficulties.
