Hi! I’m Aubrey, and I’m glad you’re here. As a clinician, I’m passionate about supporting students through the challenges that come with transitioning to college and navigating life’s many turning points. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, identity development, family dynamics, or performance-related stress, you’re not alone! I take a collaborative and direct approach to therapy, drawing from evidence based modalities like ACT, CBT, interpersonal therapy, and family systems work. My goal is to create a supportive space where we can work together to help you connect with your strengths, build self understanding, and move toward the version of yourself you want to be. I believe in honoring your unique lived experiences and helping you feel seen, heard, and empowered every step of the way!
We’ve all been the patient/client. Hoping to connect with someone who truly hears us and genuinely cares. Life often brings the unexpected challenges we never planned for or imagined. But with the right support, we find a way through. I’ve had these moments too, and I deeply believe in the power of the people who surround you aid in healing, growth and the path you were truly meant for. After 14 years as a Physician Assistant, working in diverse clinical environments, I’ve chosen to focus my career on what’s needed now more than ever: compassionate, comprehensive mental health care. I approach this professional role with openness, empathy, and a deep commitment to your well-being. My goal is to support you in finding mental wellness, while also assessing any physical or medical factors that may be impacting how you feel because true care sees the whole person. You can trust that with our team, your mental and physical health are in compassionate, capable hands.
Welcome! I’m so glad you’ve found your way here. I know how difficult it can be to take that first step in seeking therapy, and I want to make that process as smooth and welcoming as possible. It’s my mission to create a safe, supportive space where we can work together toward your personal goals. I aim to be your biggest cheerleader, while also providing gentle challenges that encourage growth. You’ll find our sessions to be warm, authentic, and comfortable, as I believe that’s the key to building a strong therapeutic relationship. I specialize in supporting children (10+) and young adults, particularly those navigating anxiety, ADHD, grief, depression, and life transitions. I have training in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) and often integrate play therapy techniques to make our sessions both engaging and effective. I offer the flexibility to meet either in person at our Allendale office or virtually from the comfort of your home, no matter where you’re at in Michigan. If you have any questions or would like to explore if we'd be a good fit, don't hesitate to reach out via email. I'd love to connect and help you (or your child) take the next step in your journey!
I work with a wide range of clients that have had ongoing struggles with depression, anxiety, and borderline personality disorder. I worked at a health clinic for a few years focusing on clients with postpartum depression, anxiety, and OCD. I offer a warm and inviting environment where you can share your struggles and traumas. My goal is to help make connections on why you may behave the way you do and then focus on helping you with change. In life we are always going through changes and transitions and everyone deserves to have a space to learn, grow, and heal.
