Family Therapy in Holland, MI

My style is warm, with a desire to continually learn and use new skills that best suit the "hopeful" and the "hopeless." My life has been spent working with individuals and families and their experiences with sexual, substance, or physical abuse and trauma.

Currently accepting clients! Our story matters. Life is full of twists and turns that can create baggage (Trauma, Family conflict, Stress & Anxiety, Depression, Unexpected life circumstances & Changes, Life Transition & Growing pains) amongst the beauty of your life. We all have flaws. But we need to accept that we are worth loving and worthy of hope and healing. This starts with unpacking your story, and finding your truth in the process. It is my honor to walk along side you, assisting in this process of healing and gaining strength within your story and life. FYI- I am walking distance from Hope College!

There are times in life when it feels like you cannot take another minute of toxic stress or anxiety….whether it is about how you are coping with personal challenges or about your children or relationships. Perhaps there are events in your past that keep you from moving forward with your life. I invite you to a calm and welcoming space to help you find a way to resolve these issues. I am an empathetic listener who strives to help others rediscover strengths to heal their hearts so they can achieve their goals.

Scary events, either experienced or witnessed, can leave both lasting memories and symptoms. You feel them in your body. You can’t always pinpoint them, but you know and feel them each day. Constant stress, anxiety, worry, panic attacks, nightmares, flashbacks, depression, and more may be your daily companions. What you may be experiencing could be symptoms of trauma.

Our lives are full of changes, struggles, and great joys.

I also enjoy working with athletes and sports-minded individuals.

I enjoy working with individuals who are looking within themselves for the answers to the questions. The key to inner healing is partially about asking the right questions. I am best suited to working with individuals who struggle with anxiety; depression; childhood trauma and issues related to being raised in a home with alcoholic parents or family members.

I work collaboratively with individuals to help each reach his/her potential.
