We help people understand how trauma affects them as a whole person and work with them to reunify their thoughts, emotions, and body. We have advanced training that can offer symptom relief and a path out of feeling hopeless. The good news is that with time and focus, most people can become symptom-free and manage difficulties from a place of inner strength. Our counselors have advanced training on how the brain and body respond to and hold onto the effects of trauma. Our team understands how t...
"Going away to college" can be a wonderful and terrifying experience all at the same time: learning how to manage the many details of daily life while figuring out the big picture of who you are and what you want to do. It can also be a time of sorting out family relationships and choosing new paths. It can bring up a lot of anxiety, stress and self-doubt. We have many combined years of helping people through these experiences. If you would like intelligent, warm and useful support in naviga...

To me, therapy is the act of helping people learn to experience their emotions safely in the moment, to be truly present and their genuine selves as they go about their day. I work with people to bring awareness to the impact of the past, to make conscious the connections and patterns that inform our everyday experience so that they can decide whether they want to continue with them or if they want to try something new. Therapy is the practice of getting to know yourself and working out what’s b...
I hope to support you and your emotional wellness. I work with pre-teens and adolescents (ages 12 and above), young adults, and adults. I approach therapy through a holistic lens, using compassion and warm curiosity to support your exploration of all aspects of who you are, how you feel, and what matters to you. Using psychodynamic techniques, I believe in co-creating unique experiences and relationships, meaning that the structure of sessions is framed by what feels personally relevant to each ...

So, let's not call it "needing" therapy. What if we just say, we're feeling overwhelmed, depressed, anxious, conflicted, or isolated? If you're feeling any of those things, I can help. I often start treatment the 1st or 2nd session. After 6-12 sessions clients usually feel significantly better. For Calvin students, I am a short walk from campus. For GRCC or GVSU, I am on the public transit loop, a walk through my parking lot to the bus stop. I'd be happy to meet with anyone over the phone ...
