Connect with Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) therapy in Grand Rapids, MI

I believe therapy should feel like a space where you can be yourself, feel heard, and work through life without judgment. I support teens, adults, and couples through anxiety, depression, grief, relationships, and life stress while helping you build confidence and create meaningful change.

I'm a licensed social worker who has spent decades working with individuals, couples, and families. My career began in foster care and the court system, then expanded to helping adults and families cope with addiction and trauma. I enjoy the depth and variety of private practice work.

Starting therapy can feel like a big step, I congratulate you on starting your journey. I specialize in working with adults navigating life transitions, anxiety, and depression. I take a client-centered, collaborative approach to therapy, and I'm here to provide a safe and supportive environment where you can be yourself.

I have been practicing for 18 years. I am originally from Alaska, relocated to Las Vegas, and am establishing roots in Michigan. I am actively licensed in all three states and engaging in Telehealth services. I have my Master's in Education from Duquesne University. I have worked with adults, families, and children.

Life is hard at times. Therapy is a deeply personal experience where we work together to help you set goals, identify your needs, and develop the tools for lasting change.

Are you a woman or college student always thinking of the worst-case scenario, and feel anxious and on edge no matter what you do? You're someone who's successful at most things, yet still find yourself doubting, second-guessing, and feeling fearful about the future. You're someone who's ready to change your go-to setting!

I actively approach therapy. I tend to give guidance, suggest techniques to make the way to success smoother, and offer “homework” to practice those techniques between sessions. After all, change is most helpful when it happens both in and out of the therapy room. (Don’t worry; this “homework” doesn’t lead to grades or tests!)

I utilize a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness techniques to help my clients develop coping strategies and achieve their goals.

I work with adults navigating life's challenges, transitions, and personal growth. I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where we can explore concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress, relationship difficulties, trauma, and life changes while working toward meaningful and lasting change.

I work with adults coping with anxiety, depression, substance misuse, or a history of childhood abuse. No matter what issue you're facing, you are not your problem and you are not your pain. Let's work together to find your strength and resilience.

I take a realistic and practical approach to therapy, focusing on helping you navigate challenges with tools and strategies tailored to your unique situation. I specialize in supporting individuals managing stress, addressing substance use concerns, improving relationships, and fostering personal growth.

I'm concerned about my clients and want to help you navigate through life's challenges. I am invested in your future and understand that life can be difficult. Having a professional to support you through a crisis can make a meaningful difference.

Feeling overwhelmed or stuck in painful patterns? I help clients navigate trauma, anxiety, and life transitions through a compassionate, holistic approach using EMDR, CBT, and DBT.

My goal is to create an emotionally safe place where you can talk through the issues getting in your way. I know it's a risk to reach out and trust someone you don't know, especially when you're hurting. We'll go at your pace, based on your comfort with what we discuss.

Seeking support can feel overwhelming, but clients often say working with me feels like talking to a friend. I use a creative collaborative approach incorporating music, art, videos, and writing to guide you through your therapeutic journey. Let's work together to help you heal and thrive in a way that feels natural to you.

I work with clients navigating substance use, domestic violence, and trauma. As a veteran of the United States Air Force, I have experience supporting veteran clients and understand the unique challenges they face.

I work with people who feel overwhelmed by life's challenges. Needing support doesn't mean you're weak—it means you could benefit from someone nonjudgmental, understanding, and caring. My role is to help you recognize your strengths while working through challenges that keep you from living fully and productively.

It takes courage and strength to reach out for help. I'm here to support you through any challenging situation you might find yourself in. Everyone needs help from time to time, and I'm ready to assist you in your time of need.

I am highly motivated, persistent, and mature. I have worked with special education children and adolescents. I have helped them overcome developmental, personal, and social problems.

I use CBT, trauma focused approaches, and solution-focused therapy to help people build real skills not just insight.

I’m a licensed mental health clinician specializing in trauma, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and personal growth. I provide a warm, supportive, and judgment-free space where clients can feel understood while developing practical tools to heal, build resilience, and create meaningful change in their lives.

Are you ready for treatment that provides and measures results? Do you want to learn techniques that you can use now and many years from now to keep from relapsing? I help clients gain emotional independence such that one can become fully capable of managing their emotions and finally healing. For Life.
